A recent article covering Michigan’s proposed Castle Doctrine law prompted this response from the Brady Campaign:

“This law is a terrible signal to send to people, that if you had second thoughts before, rest assured the government is on your side, so go ahead and kill somebody,” said Peter Ham [sic] of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence in Washington, D.C. “It makes my stomach turn.”

What is most curious is the common thread throughout Brady literature and media statements: their organization focuses on killing, not the dynamics of situations which may require the use of deadly force.

Since they enacted their right-to-carry law in 2001, Michigan has seen a greater-than-average drop in violent crime and murder.[2] There is every indication that Michigan’s law-abiding gun owners exercise restraint and responsibility.

House Bill 347 will have another hearing next week. The bill has been added to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Criminal Justice's agenda for May 17 at 9:00 a.m. in Senate Building, North Hearing Room.

The purpose for Wednesday's hearing is so that the committee may hear testimony on HB347 from proponents and opponents of the legislation, and other interested parties. Buckeye Firearms Association leaders will be on hand.

Filling hearing rooms as this legislation nears a committee vote will make a serious statement of support. Your presence at this meeting is beneficial to the cause. Please consider making the trip to Columbus to be a visible show of support for HB347 and its sponsor, Rep. Aslanides.
