Don't look now, but the "guns don't make you safer" crowd (most of them are Democrats) are at it again.
As usual, guns DO make you safer, and by "you" we mean "not you but politicians":
Beth LeBlanc (@DNBethLeBlanc) ~ Michigan State Capitol Commission adopts weapons ban 6-0 for Michigan Capitol with carveout for currently sitting House and Senate members who have concealed carry permits.
Amendment adding the carveout passed 4-2.
The Democrats control the state government so they had to vote for this in order for it to pass:
David Eggert (@DavidEggert00) ~ Interesting that Democrats, who effectively control the commission, agreed to the carveout after pushing for the gun ban and new security such as metal detectors.
Politicians like to exempt themselves from their own rules.
And you know what that means:
Sandy (@RightGlockMom) ~ Michigan Democrats: "Our lives are more important than yours."
Yep, we see this kind of thing a lot!
It's kind of like when "walls and fences don't work" Dems have fences and walls built around where they work or their homes. ...
