The anti-gun set went bonkers in Michigan a year ago when the courts stymied their efforts to gut a new law expanding gun rights. The Michigan Supreme Court threw out the gun-control advocates` ballot initiative, saying the issue couldn`t be challenged with a referendum. Having failed there, the anti-gunners took aim with the only weapon left in their arsenal: inflated rhetoric. Dial forward to the present. The law is now in effect and Michigan has not become "Dodge City," as one gun control advocate warned at the time. As for the political backlash, that`s something we should ask of the three Democrats competing in the Aug. 6 primary for governor. For More Information See: Right To Carry 2002
