It may be an exaggeration to say that some Michigan lawmakers want to arm abusers.
But not by much.
Michigan's Legislature has approved a law, ostensibly aimed at standardizing the way concealed-weapons permits are issued, that also eliminates a state provision barring individuals subject to a personal protection order from obtaining such permits. |

One might agree with this concept but for a critical flaw. Thanks to "progressive thought" PFAs and ROs are issued by courts as a matter of routine, rather than necessity. Often, even in amicable divorce cases. A reality which may well mean the state "poisons the well" of human kindness existing prior to its order.
Particularly when one considers the "defendant" is often unaware of such an order being considered or offered opportunity to contest. Most often they only become aware when its a "fait accompli", and they're being compelled to surrender valuable personal property to the "tender mercy" of an arm of the state with no guarantee it will be preserved and maintained, and little recourse if it isn't. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
