<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><a name="_MailEndCompose">Hi:<o:p></o:p></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">Here is some additional clarification on the gun decisions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">The argument the court uses to distinguish between the CADL case and the Ann Arbor & Clio cases is , essentially, that there is a statute,
</span><a href="http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-123-1102"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">MCL 123,1102</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">, which prohibits the enactment of
any firearm regulation by “local units of government.” The statute defines “local units of government” as: “</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose"><i>a city, village, township, or county</i></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">”.
</span><a href="http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-123-1101"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">MCL 123.1101</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">In the CADL case, the court determined that since a District Library is established by two local units of government, it is covered within the purviews of MCL 123.1102.
In other words, a product of two local units of government, is, in effect, a local unit of government, and therefore specifically prohibited from regulating firearms by MCL 123.1102.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">School Districts, on the other hand, are NOT considered “local units of government” under MCL 123.1101. They are completely set apart. Additionally, the court applied
a four step analysis (called the “Llewellyn framework,” after the case which created the test) to determine that the School regulation is not preempted by the State Law and that there is no evidence to indicate that the State ever intended for School Districts
to be UNABLE to regulate firearms on their campuses. On the contrary, the court found several instances where the legislature has regulated guns in schools.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose">I hope this is helpful!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
