The Republican governor said in a release Tuesday that public venues need clear legal authority to ban firearms “if they see fit to do so.”
Snyder told The Associated Press Monday he was scrutinizing the bill after Friday’s massacre at a Connecticut school. He also drew on his own memories of a fatal shooting in his college dormitory more than three decades ago.
The legislation would have prohibited openly carrying guns in those places while allowing permit holders to carry concealed weapons. But they couldn’t do so if the locations declare themselves weapons-free zones.
Under existing law, people may openly carry guns in those and other locations but not concealed weapons.
Would it seriously stop a would be mass murderer. It would only block ppl from taking that person down and save their life.
The instances where a person with a concealed gun stops a gunman are few and fare between.
This is to show What America has become.Democrats and Liberal
Wow, a sane GOP politician. Given the tenor of the times, I didn’t think I’d live to see the day.
#2 ,
This is NOT TRUE.
firstly, many times have armed civillians stopped shootings.
#2 a armed civilian at the scene is less likely to hit a innocant bystander vs responding police 2% to the police 11%
#3 most shootings occur in gun free zones!
Gee, that’s brilliant!
This will definitely stop mass-murderers from from committing any more massacres in schools. After all, it’s a gun-free zone so he can’t bring in his guns. After all, someone who is about to commit a massacre takes such rules very seriously.
