“The speaker is grateful for the work of the Capitol Commission, but it does not have the authority to set policy in the Capitol,” Lynn Afendoulis said in a news release. “The speaker will be looking at options for handling that moving forward. In the meantime, the Michigan State Police will be enforcing the new ruling.”
Commission Vice Chair John Truscott said the commission does not write policy but is ready to address general security issues. He stated state government will have to fund it.
“We don’t have a budget for security measures, so in reality, the governor and Legislature would have to deal with it,” Truscott stated. “We’ve gone as far as we can go with the budget constraints we have.”
Some of the anti-government extremists accused in a plot to kidnap Whitmer had carried guns at lockdown protests at the Capitol last spring. Prosecutors say the accused ringleader initially talked of recruiting 200 men to storm the building, take hostages and “execute tyrants.” A secondary plan involved locking exits and setting the statehouse on fire, according to court documents.

The Michigan Democratic Party issued a statement saying that though it applauds the fact the commission has “finally put their authority to use,” it is not enough and that all firearms should be banned inside the Capitol.
Sen. Dayna Polehanki pushed an effort to ban all firearms from the Capitol by introducing legislation last year that died in session. The Livonia Democrat stated Monday before the panel vote that an open carry ban does not go far enough and will lead to a false sense of security for those who work at and visit the Capitol.
“Bullets are bullets,” she stated no matter what kind of gun a person brings.

“There is no reason any gun belongs in the Capitol, it’s absurd, the world thinks it’s absurd,” Polehanki stated. “It sickens me that this is even being considered as a viable action.”
