I am of the opinion that any law... and an ordinance is a law... that is on the books is being passively enforced simply by being officially "on the books". After all, anyone who reads the ordinances and sees the anti gun one has just been officially told that guns are banned according to that ordinance. Hence if an ordinance is on the books just by being on the books it is being passively enforced. And since it is being enforced... even if just passively... it violates MCL 123.1102.
