    "Right to work" makes it so a person does not have to join a union. Colorado is kind of a Right to Work state.

    You know this just has to stick in BO's craw just a little bit.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    I'll probably get flamed for this, but I don't care.

    I don't see how a state banning guns is unconstitutional. Or a city, as long long as it doesn't violate the state constitution. I think it's stupid, but I don't think it's unconstitutional. The way I understand it, the 2A, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights, as originally written applies to the central government.

    Well that sounds promising. I saw a map briefly on the TV in our office break room, that showed the "right to work" states, and Colorado wasn't highlighted. I know we in CO have a lot of industry and jobs that aren't forcibly unionized, but I didn't think that many others were so much different than here. I hope this turns out to be a very positive change for Michigan.
    Please leave any relevant feedback here:

    Holy crap, the courts using logic. This has to be a first.

    "Judge Richard Posner wrote in the court's majority opinion that the state "had to provide us with more than merely a rational basis for believing that its uniquely sweeping ban is justified by an increase in public safety. It has failed to meet this burden." He continued: "The theoretical and empirical evidence (which overall is inconclusive) is consistent with concluding that a right to carry firearms in public may promote self-defense."

    I thought the Bill of Rights was the almighty trump card... "No state shall" clause and all that.

    The phrase "No state shall" is not in the BoR.

    Oh my bad- It's "Congress shall make no law..."
