A cave-in to guns


Gov. Granholm's cave-in to the gun nuts -- first it was killing mourning doves, now it's killing people -- makes me want to weep. The pity of it all is that right-wing zealots like state Sen. Alan Cropsey aren't going to vote for her no matter how much she bows her head and bends her knee. He didn't have even the grace just to thank her.

All she accomplished is to risk losing votes from supporters like me who continue to long for a Democrat with the guts to stand up for what's right. Once more we have to choose between all we can get and the impossible.

Well, Joey, I hate to break it to you, but Governor Granholm may very well have saved her job by signing this legislation. A lot of people, Democrat, Republican, Independent and Third Party, like to be safe in their homes. If that makes us "gun-nuts," so be it, although most "gun-nuts" I know aren't into guns but do appreciate the Second Amendment and the right to self-defense.

Credit goes where credit is due, and she gets credit for signing this legislation. Obviously, with typical "supporters" like this guy, Governor Granholm took a pretty brave step in protecting our rights.
