    I would like to see a penalty. By their own admission, the policy is probably unconstitutional. They violate the constitution, currently, because there is no penalty. If this passes, they can violate state law as well as the Constitution because there is nothing to stop them.

    Refreshing. I would like to see more laws written this simply.

    I agree with luckless. Penalties would only need another paragraph, and it would still be a nice straight forward statute.
    No clause in the constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under some general pretence by a state legislature. But if in any blind pursuit of inordinate power, either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.

    I am pretty sure that the Michigan Constitution would prevent that in the State. The US Constitution is looser on the subject of hostile amendments.

    Article IV Sections 21-27?

    This is a HORRIBLE bill. Yes it sounds good at first glance but what it actually does is chip away at field preemption.

    It is already illegal for agencies to consider firearms ownership under MCL 123.1101. This could easily harm rather than help us.

    I agree with this. After going through this very situation as recent as yesterday, I don't think there's any need to change anything unless it's an addition of penalties towards the offending agency. We were told yesterday, word for word, in regards to their rules against carrying or possessing a firearm while fostering, "it's our request and we know it's not legal and there's nothing we can do about It". They are fully aware it's illegal and they don't care because there's no penalty for making this request. They refuse to license my wife unless she signs their paperwork and agrees to never carry her firearm while fostering. The kicker is, the paperwork she had to sign only cover safe storage and zero about carrying, so she signed the safe storage agreement and will continue to carry.

    I don't want anymore bills or laws, I just want people to start obeying the ones we have in place or answer to someone for violating them.
