Michigan - Open Carry Gun Laws - Clear and Present Danger

Hello....

When they time......Reporters need to do a story on the 'Open Carry' Law problems...like they can carry guns into public buildings but CPL people can't....'Open Carry' either needs to be fixed or banned.....Open Carry is a clear and present danger to public safety....
Did Snyder also veto - eliminating gun boards - allowing County Sheriffs to approve gun permits...and making MSP the record keeper for gun registrations...
PS...I can carry a gun into stadiums, schools, etc...I have a pistol free zone exemption - as a retired police officer....Law enforcement officers, off duty, and retired LE personnel can do so - because of our past training....

The lack of training for Open Carry and non LE - CPL carriers is a very serious threat to public safety.............needs to be addressed and corrected....now......

The NRA now agrees the need for common sense gun laws - this is not about taking guns from citizens - BUT - taking military assault weapons and high capacity magazines from the public marketplace - they are not needed to protect a home or for hunting...they are for mass killing, to kill as many people as possible in war situations, not domestic situations..
Jase Bolger, is a slimy, dishonest, Republican House Speaker (?), he should be in jail - shunned by the Republican Party for trying to 'rig' and election! The fact that the Republicans let him be Speaker - shows their lack of respect for the voting public and their own lack of accountability.

NRA vs NEWTOWN, CT - STAND UP FOR THEM

NRA = GUN NUTS, FOOLS, PAID POLITICIANS - STAND UP TO THEM....

Do you think the people of Newtown, Ct, are rushing to buy guns and assault weapons, to protect themselves !!!! - from another school, movie theatre, or public gun massacre ???...

The NRA, Fox News (?), misguided gun nuts and others are trying to make us feel guilty for talking about gun laws and assault weapon bans, in the wake of the child massacre in Newtown.

NRA and their gun nut, fools and paid politicians members are trying to downplay another gun massacre, make us think - its about a single deranged shooter - and not the insane and wrong headed 'gun culture' that is engrained in the US culture. Our wrong belief that people kill people, not guns !!! And that more guns in the hands of more people will solve the problem.

There automatic response to our very prevalent - gun massacres - is more guns, less laws...'Don't take our guns away' - because then only criminals will have guns'. Not acknowledging that the availability of guns - is how criminals get guns ( from home invasions, B&E of autos, etc)

Military assault weapons (AR15 /16s - AK 47s - Uzis - Mac10s - etc ) are not guns. They are military weapons designed to kill a large amount of people in the least amount of time. High capacity magazines allow you to have all of the ammunition you will need without reloading as often as needed with smaller magazines.

Our Founding Fathers (1781 - 231 years ago) and our Constitution could not have imagined these personal weapons of mass destruction and death.
The Fathers were trying to establish the right of citizens to be able to protect themselves, their families, homes and towns from the English, French, and 'savage' Native Americans, before the establishment of local police departments, state police, FBI and other law enforcement agencies that have been created to fill the need for public safety - common sense guns laws (except) for home protection should be discussed and reevaluated to make them stronger and more effective.

We need an immediate Assault Weapons / High Capacity Magazine Ban - The President, Congress, Governors and State Legislators must all stand up pass similiar legislation - Stand Up against the NRA. We also need to review all gun laws to strengthen them and make them more effective.

We need and END to 'Open Carry Gun Laws' in Michigan and in every state in the Country, and more and improved training for those 'legitimate' citizens who want and have 'concealed weapons permits'....Everyone who carries a gun - should know how and when to properly use the weapon and a clear understanding of the rights and responsibilities of having a gun, in public.

Michigan Governor Snyder must Stand Up to the Tea Party / right wing Republicans and the NRA and VETO - the recently passed gun bill, that would allow gun to be brought into schools, stadiums, hospitals, and have a real review of the Michigan 'Open Carry Law' and 'CPL Law' - to ban OC and to make mandatory more training for CPL carriers.

I am a retired Detroit Police Sergeant - I want the massacres of innocents to be stopped - and the availability of military style weapons to end.

NRA - NEWTOWN MASSACRE - BLOODY HANDS..ASSAULT WEAPON BAN - NOW

Newtown, Cn, 20 school children, 6 adults (and counting) killed by a gun.
Guns KILL People...

The NRA is complicit in another mass killing of innocents - another massacre, in which, the killing weapon was a gun...

The NRA opposition to an Assault Weapon / High Capacity Magazine Ban, makes them complicit and responsible..Their opposition, intimidation and lavish money lobbying,
is reprehensible, now and in the past.

The NRA must join, President Obama, Congress, Governors and Legilatures in supporting and passing an immediate - Assault Weapons / High Capacity Magazine Law.

This will not stop crazy, demented, unbalanced people from commiting crimes, but it will begin to change the gun mentality - the gun culture, and help take these dangerous military style weapons off the US market.

PS: Did Michigan Governor Snyder, have the guts, balls, courage to VETO, the insane legislative bill to allow guns in churchs and other protected areas ????

As a retired Police Sergeant, I feel, Michigan's Open (Gun) Carry Law, and the lack of training for CPLs (concealed weapons) is a clear and present danger to the public.

With the massacre of children, in Newtown, Cn, we need an immediate - Assa...ult Weapon / High Capacity Magazine Ban - Guns Kill People - the NRA is complicite in all gun massacres because of their opposition to the AWB - and their opposition to gun laws.

But it is also the President, Congress, Governors and State Legislatures that must - Stand Up - and against the NRA - and STAND WITH - the people who have been victims of gun violence and massacres.

DETROIT POLICE - SIXTH PRECINCT, DANGER ZONE - AGAIN

The Detroit Police Sixth Precinct, just a short nine months ago, was the subject of an internationally reported shooting, in which four police officers were shot, inside their building by a gunman, who rushed in with a shotgun and began to fire.

There was much hand ringing and promises of finding a solution to better protect the officers who sat behind a high desk, with almost NO view of people entering the front doors.

A hand held metal detector was used, then a real metal detector was brought in - problem solved ??? NO NO NO apparently the batteries or some other problem has left the metal detector - inoperable, unusable. An officer is now assigned to wand all visitors, a hand wand !!! The officer has a desk at the one entrance door, confusing signs on all the front doors make it difficult to find the right door to enter - then if the officers is not distracted by other duties, wands the visitor, BUT BUT nothing has been done to stop a person, who wants to burst in - guns blazing, because the front door is so close to the front desk, which officers sit at behind - with NO view of visitors coming in...

Apparently, the acting PC Chester Logan has known about the situation, as well as other police executives - a private citizen (former 6th Precinct Officer) and his company has offered to install a state of the art, metal detector, but 'red tape' has been delaying the gift.!!!!

Detroit police executives have said - Detroit has no money, to improve the Department. The Department us under Federal Consent Decress (for 10 years), paying out money to a monitor, under the view of US Judge Julian Cook,(who seems to have fallen asleep the past 10 years {a federal monitor slept with Mayor Kilpatrick}. The Detroit Police Department has no money to find a new Police Chief, to conduct a national search for a police chief, who can come in and clean up, clean out the Department of 'dead wood', nepotism, cronisym, and favoritism.

Mayor Bing and the City Council ,should go to Lansing and Washington DC, and request money - to protect the residents from crime, arsons, and to be able to transport its residents to a hospital, in a timely manner. State and Federal grants must be a priority in getting the funding to improve the Police / Fire / EMS Departments.

If no grant money is forthcoming the City - should tell Lansing and Washington DC, that it will layoff all Police / Fire / EMS personeel, or shut down all the non necessary duties of these employees. The police and fire unions must be brought in -to bear witness to the clear and present dangers to their members.

Detroit residents are NOT being properly protected by the police department, fire and EMS departments - not because of the officers, fireman, or medical technicians, but because of the politics, the negelect of duty - of current and previous mayors and council members. and police executives - Detroit residents deserve better...if City leaders don't act - then the Governor and Department of Justice - MUST step in and take control - to make Detroit a safe city.

MITT ROMNEY - BRAINWASHED ?????

MITT ROMNEY - BRAINWASHED ???

Is Mitt Romney being 'brainwashed' by Grover Norquist, Karl Rove and other enablers ?

He made a comment to his rich powerful supporters that 'gifts' President Obama promised to Blacks, Hispanics, and young voters, is what got him elected !!!

Mitt Romney is drinking the 'kool aid' of failed advisors, some official and some the murky background types - like Rove and Norquist both of whom seem bent on pushing the once proud Republican Party to the extreme right wing of American politics - an area that voters showed they didn' want to go.

Mitt Romney, helped doom himself to losing with comments about the - 47% - self deportation - let Detroit go bankrupt - Chrysler Jeeps to be made in China (?) - I will repeal Obamacare except parts that are popular - supporting anti arbortion fools - binders of women - the list goes on and on....

Mitt Romney is not George Romney, whom I would have voted for as President - but George was an honest man, who spoke, what he considered to be the truth - Mitt pushed to the extreme right wing, couldn't come up with a solid platform that appealed to the American people - Mitt got votes - but they were more anti - Obama votes, than we support Mitt votes.

Look at the fools, who now want to seceed from the Union - OMG - that is part of the Republican base - endorsed by: Shaun Hannity, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh (stellar lights in politcal insanity and speech).

And those Republicans who proudly say - we kept the House, are deluding themselves, incumbants usually win, unless they do / say something really stupid, - like 'abortion babies are God's will'.

That is what Republicans and Mitt Romney need to realize - their right wing agenda will not get them elected, if they hold true to their ways - they will lose big in the 2014 Congressional Elections - then Obama may have a madated to change America -and Republicans will be the fools looking in - while being out.

Appreciate any comments - this is America....

JON STEWART / DAILY SHOW - PRESIDENT OBAMA WINS RE-ELECTION

PRESIDENT OBAMA - WINS / RE-ELECTED

Jon Stewart on his Daily Show (CCN) announced the President Obama has been re-elected. Now followed by all the major networks -

The closet race (??) in American history is over by 11:30 pm - election night. $6 billion dollars has been spent , in the most expensive Presidential election, leaves us the same as before the election - a Democratic President, a Democratic US Senate, and a Republican House of Representatives.

All that is left of the Republican Party is for Paul Ryan and Gordon Norquist is to tear apart the GOP - the former home of Dwight Eishower, Ronald Regan, Gerald Ford and Abraham Lincoln - this once proud party has been undermined by right wing fanatics, who opposed President Obaman, in part, because he was black - and their denial of the USA as part of a world economy.

Obama has done a remarkable job taking us back from a recession - and creating a slow but steady growth. The US suffers as part of a world economic slowdown, not because of the 'failed policies of President Obama'.

Obama Care (Romney Care) will survive providing a better more affordable health care for Americans, the poor and middle class will benefit, and America will be better for it.

So America has survived a close call with fanaticism - but still in the heart of Mississippi a KKK leader predicted a race war (ABC News) if President Obama was re-eleted - so there are still major problems to face and overcome, but hopefully our political leaders will finally stand up and lead - so that America will move forward and lead the world to peace and prosperity.

God Bless America - and Thank you - God.

MIKE AND MARIAN ILITCH - DETROIT TIGERS...PAY BACK DETROIT TAXPAYERS

Mike and Marian Ilitch - Detroit Tigers - Gambling Casino ???

They own the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Red Winds, Fox Theatre, etc etc etc...BUT - they should pay back the up to $12 million dollars that Detroit taxpayers are owed for their failure secure and maintain historic Detroit Tiger Stadium....
Up to $12 million dollars, that Detroit needs to hire police officers, fire fighters, EMS techs, fix the lights, water and bus system. But they have no intention of paying and squeamish, cowardly public officials - won't stand up and demand, what is do - pay back to Detroit tax payers.

Mike Ilitch is getting a lot of positive publicity now that the Detroit Tigers have reached the World Series - but you must look behind the curtain - and see - what's behind the story.

Mike Ilitch has invested a lot of money in the Tigers (MLB) and the Detroit Red Wings (NHL) both professional sports teams - but his wife owns a Gambling Casino - The Motor City Casino) in Detroit, also - Is it wrong ??? Yes...Yes...but MLB and the NHL have failed to try and stop this obvious - conflict of interest...

Mile Ilitch has invested money in Detroit, but is he poorer now because of it...NO NO NO...he has reaped the benefits of his efforts and tax breaks and concessions from public officials, who were to sqeamish to stand up to him.

He is responsible for the destruction, of historic Detroit Tiger Stadium, a national treasure and a revenue source for deficeit riddent Detroit, along with George Jackson, of the DEGC and other sqeamish city officials (including former City Council President Ken Cockrell - who admitted publicly that Ilitch 'owed Detroit the money (for Tiger Stadium - up to $12m) and vowed 'to do everything I can to get it back' but hasn't done anything but complain to me - that I alerted the media to his comments.

So if the media want to do a fair portrait of Mike Ilitch look what he has taken from the City - even going so far as to help push, for Red Wing star, Darren McCartney, into bankruptcy for a debt to Marians's casino..

There is a doumentary about the Ilitch and the City's 'demolition by neglect of historic Detroit Tiger Stadium by Peter C. Riley and Gary Glaser - titled: Stranded at the Corner....

There is more sinister curtains to pull back...do you job and look.
