Gov. Whitmer says she's 'very disappointed' after the Michigan Capitol Commission voted to create a special panel to study whether it has the power to ban firearms in the state Capitol, postponing any decision.
Randall said at the outset that he never expected the commission to be in a situation"where we're being asked to interpret law to try and take some responsibility that has historically been the responsibility of the Legislature and develop a plan to control firearms."
"As unelectable, unaccountable individuals," Truscott said, the six members are"here basically as museum caretakers and gardeners." Should they bar guns from the premises,"we would have an injunction filed almost immediately." "We're not just gardeners. We're not just antique curators," she said, adding that the panel is responsible for the well-being of those who visit the Capitol. However, she said, the commission shouldn't move in haste.
