bad news from Michigan

[Brett Bellmore]

You'd think that a bill that passed both houses of the legislature with a two-thirds margin would be unstoppable, but the concealed carry measure seems to be halted. Apparently our governor has national ambitions, and didn't want to have to either sign or veto this bill, so he's sent word to the Republican leadership that the bill must be permitted to die. Said leadership being too stupid to understand that their control of the legislature will die with it....

Where did you hear this?

 

[Brett Bellmore]

It was published in both the Detroit Free Press, www.freep.com/news/mich/qgun3.htm
and Detroit News www.detnews.com/1999/metro/9906/03/06030055.htm

Both of which are anti-gun, of course. (The News came out of the closet especially for this fight.) So I'm not yet assuming all really IS lost, it may just be meant to dishearten us. But I AM e-mailing everyone who voted for the bill.

Republicans letting a pro-gun bill die? I can't believe it!
