I sent a couple letters to my congressmen today to oppose the rapidly growing threat to the second amendment and to encourage the reintroduction of a couple of bills from the last congress. I encourage you guys to do the same!

Anti-Gun Legislation

http://www.popvox.com/bills/us/113/x101

I understand you're seeing a flood of support for the "Common Sense Legislation to End Gun Violence" bill from a very specific niche of the political spectrum. Please stand strong in your opposition toward this bill. I've been a firearm owner for many years and I use my firearms for sport, recreation, hunting and other activities. At no point in time have my firearms been used in a violent manner, and it is unacceptable that my second amendment rights would be curtailed because of a single psychotic individual with whom I have no relation.

Thank you for your time.

National CCW Reciprocity

http://www.popvox.com/bills/us/112/hr822

I have held a concealed weapons permit for eight years and I enjoy the freedom to choose when and where I can carry a firearm in my home state. Fortunately, Michigan enjoys reciprocity with 39 other states, but eleven states either do not share reciprocity or have no CCW laws on the books.

Traveling to other states with a concealed firearm is always a painful process. Even if the state does share reciprocity, their specific laws regarding disclosure, "pistol-free zones", and other matters can vary greatly. By passing a successor to the national reciprocity act, we would enjoy reciprocity with every state that permits "shall issue" CCW laws and a singular list of non-permissible carry locations. In addition to making the lives of CCW-holder easier, it would also eliminate unintentional infractions that can ruin the lives of CCW holder without improving anybody's safety or security.

Republican Gov. Rick Snyder will reportedly announce a state takeover of Detroit on Friday, according to a breaking report from ABC affiliate WXYZ.

“[Detroit Mayor Dave] Bing says the governor told him his decision during a phone conversation this morning,” the station reports.

It'd be cheaper to just close up shop. Let Detroit become one giant urban exploration theme park.

Reply #1519 - Mar 1^st, 2013 at 8:18am Pretty amazing that the state can scrap elected officials. I guess it's better than doing nothing and watching the city fall as it has been. I voted no on the proposal in the latest election because the power could be so easily abused. In this case, it seems warranted. And if he saves Detroit, it will be legendary! One for the books.

Even if it works, I will never support EMs. Just like how I never support federal usurping of state law/money/etc. Each city, like each state, should be a product of testing of liberty and capitalism and reform. Let Detroit fail and let the people elect a new brand of leadership/rules and start over. When your 8 billion in the hole for a single city...it's time to take your F and retake the class.

Reply #1524 - Mar 2^nd, 2013 at 11:56am I think people are forgetting that bankruptcy is there for a reason. Clear the debt, resulting in a trashed credit. As X said, they screwed up, its time to start over. You can't accumulate debt forever, no matter what the Federal Government says/does.
