Michigan school districts may ban guns, state Supreme Court rules

[phands]

Finally some common sense, but no doubt the Government Of Putin and the Nasty Russian Assholes will try to have good sense undone.

Michigan school districts can ban firearms on campus, the state's Supreme Court ruled Friday.

State law allows people with concealed firearms permits to bring guns onto school property, but at least two districts enacted policies banning weapons.
Separate lawsuits were filed by firearm advocacy groups against the Ann Arbor and Clio school districts.
On Friday, four of seven justices ruled in the schools' favor.
"We feel like it's a great day for Michigan children," Jeanice Swift, superintendent of the Ann Arbor Public Schools, said. Swift said the policy, which is tied to a city ordinance about school disruptions, was enacted after someone legally carried a gun into a choir concert in March 2015.
After the incident "our board took a courageous stand to enact a set of policies to quantify the presence of a firearm as a disruption to the classroom environment," she said.
A lawyer for Michigan Gun Owners said he was shocked by the ruling and he thought the majority justices fit the ruling to match their opinions that firearms don't belong in school.

Of course, guns don't belong anywhere in a civilized society, but the US isn't one.

Michigan passed a law where people could bring guns into schools?

And when school districts said "ah... no"... people actually sued them?!

And the court merely ruled that State Law hasn't forbid School Districts from making rules on guns. So if the Michigan legislature wants to, they can say as such and people can carry concealed guns into schools.

Wonderful. God bless America!

I heard about this on the local news since Clio is nearby. The guy that is part of the lawsuit pulled his kid from the school after they banned guns. The other school he put the kid into did the same so he's moving the kid again. He's putting his ammosexual fetish above the welfare of his child.

What kind of nutjob feels he or she has to be able to carry a concealed weapon into a school?

The NRA and the current administration...nutjobs to a person.
