A Fife Lake village council member blamed excessive restrictions for the board’s decision to shoot down a proposed weapons policy.
Board members voted unanimously against the policy Monday, which would have banned village employees and elected officials from possessing firearms on village-owned properties and work sites, said Trustee Brian Hayes.
State law allows residents to tote weapons on government grounds with the proper permitting and licenses, he said. Law allows government officials to enact weapons restrictions only on government employees and elected officials. Such a ban would have only impacted the village’s 12 employees.
“It seemed kind of futile to develop a policy,” he said. |

"Township Clerk Terry Street formerly worked as a school principal and administrator and reviewed several weapons policies. He agreed something needed to be in place, he said."
Even in small town northern Michigan, "education professionals" (and retirees) are knee-jerk progressive tyrants. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
