The Michigan Capitol Commission voted Monday to form a special committee for studying its power to ban guns inside the Capitol building as lawyers offered differing legal opinions on the matter.
The move came after demonstrators openly carried firearms during an emotional April 30 protest at the Capitol and garnered national attention. The situation jettisoned the six-member panel in charge of the Capitol grounds into the spotlight.
A few hours before the Capitol Commission's 11 a.m. meeting, Attorney General Dana Nessel issued a formal legal opinion, stating that the Capitol Commission had the authority to unilaterally ban guns. But the commission's legal consultant, Amy Shaw, disagreed during the meeting.

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
