Jonathan Oosting The Detroit News Published 8:08 p.m. UTC Jul 27, 2018 Lansing — Michigan schools can ban guns on their property, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday, upholding policies that Ann Arbor and Clio districts have defended as common-sense safety measures.

But the Legislature “has not done so here,” according to the majority opinion written by Justice Bridget McCormack, a Democrat-nominated jurist who called it a “straightforward” case. “The Legislature has, expressly, restricted some but not all local governments from regulating firearms,” she wrote. “Schools in particular are not on the preempted list, quite possibly for reasons not difficult to imagine.” McCormack added: “Of course, if the Legislature in its wisdom sees fit to allow open … [Read more...] about Schools can ban guns, Michigan Supreme Court rules
