Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said Sunday that she plans to issue a formal opinion that the Michigan Capitol Commission can ban guns from Capitol grounds.
This move underlines the letter she sent to the commission on Friday, in which she said they have the legal authority to prohibit firearms in the state Capitol. The six-person Capitol Commission operates, manages and maintains the building and its grounds.
Democratic lawmakers have pushed for guns to be banned after demonstrators, some of whom were armed, protested Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's state of emergency extension request on April 30.
The attorney general said she'd heard from some commissioners who were unsure if they had the legal authority to ban guns from the Capitol. That's what prompted her letter, which outlines their ability to take such action. The commission responded by saying they needed a formal opinion, Nessel said.
