It’s good to keep the ban on weapons in churches and daycares - if you believe that someone who doesn’t mind the felony of mass murder will turn back when they realize that carrying the gun into a church is also a felony. Besides, what are the chances that a gun would ever be needed in church?

Thanks to restrictive laws, there has never been an armed security person or off duty cop in the schools that had mass shootings, so there is rarely a happy ending to these stories in schools. Liberals seem to think that is a good trade off, that 20 dead kids are an opportunity to pass the laws they want, not a tragedy that could have been avoided if they had not forced the existing laws on us.

Before hammering the Guv too hard, keep in mind that just last week he used up a lot of his existing political capital signing the “Right to Work” legislation.

So what? Either your mind is right or it isn't.

I don't give a crap about "political capital".

vetoed gun legislation that would have allowed concealed weapons in churches, schools and daycares.

Idiot.
That's exactly what needs to happen - arm the teachers.
Surely every school has a last one teacher who isn't a squishy lame-brain who will arm up to protect their school.

They are always “tragic boating accidents,” aren’t they? And why would you be carrying a handgun on a boat, anyway? Even lacks plausibility.

Don’t you people ever get tired of that dead, unfunny, un-clever joke? Damn.

Everybody knows what it means. That’s what makes it funny.

Without providing armed guards patrolling all of these 'gun free zones' the Governor is sentencing more innocent people to death.

Gotta' make him feel good ~ in a Liberal sort of way!

That crazy gun-toting abortionist down in Kansas was shot to death in a Lutheran church.

If he'd stuck to his own faith ~ church of Satan ~ he'd still be alive and kicking. Dude changes church one time and BANG.

I think the Leftwingtards have him in mind when they think of guns in church ~ not realizing, of course, that he himself was always armed.

So Governor Snyder's logic is he doesn't want concealed guns in schools, yet by vetoing the bill it leaves the status quo in Michigan law.

Under current Michigan law, holders of a Concealed Pistol License cannot carry concealed on school grounds, but they can open carry.

So which is more scary; having someone who's been to additional training carrying concealed in school, or someone openly carrying in the hallways?

If there are no public schools there can be no public school massacres.

Absolutely.

Separate school and state, before any more innocents are massacred spiritually, morally, or physically.

Perhaps the governor’s reserves of courage were used up last week?

As a retiree, I grudgingly went along with his implementing a tax on retiree pensions but this latest cave-in has caused me to disenfranchise myself from the RINO........

The blood of Michigan school children and staff is on Synder's head if a "Sandy Hook" type massacre happens in his state. Shame on Synder.

Your standards for comedy must be exceptionally low.
