As you know, Michigan law honors a persons right to self defense in following with both the state and federal constitutions. Royal oak is actively seeking to squelch the law abiding citizens right to keep and bear arms at festivals, and government meetings. there have been shootings in every single gun free zone as these areas do nothing to stop nor discourage criminals and active shooters from committing their heinous crimes. All it does do, is to disarm those who will follow the laws, these same people will not of course, break laws that endanger people either.
The city of Royal Oak, knowing about the constitution, the preemption law, and Michigans concealed carry laws, disregards them, and seeks any way to slither around them. Now they are seeking changes in the law, being unable to subvert them. They are trying to disarm the people, trying to expand gun free zones, and are seeking a change in our laws, or a clouding of certain definitions within the law to fit their unsafe, and unconstitutional veiwpoints.
As a concerned citizen, I would encourage you to continue to uphold the constitution, and add nothing to the laws as they stand. It would be much better in fact for the safety and rights of all of our citizens if the gun free zones that are now in place were eliminated altogether.
