LANSING, Mich. (WJBK) -
The governor is back on the move toward the
center of the political spectrum. That's what watchers in this town will
conclude as he took on the NRA, never a favorite of moderate and independent
voters, and nixed concealed weapons in Michigan schools and other public places.
To reach the conclusion that this governor acted for political reasons
is to misjudge him. This veto came from within and not because some
pollster told him to do it to recoup the middle ground
he lost by signing Right to Work last week.
No this one is personal
on several fronts.
Asked how he would feel if concealed
weapons were in his daughter's school, he began, "I don't see the value of having
weapons really present in the schools, hospitals and places like that."
Even though he has owned
guns since he was in high school and has a rifle and two shot guns now, this is
no card-carrying NRA member. He rejects it's argument that conceal guns are
actually a deterrent to crime.
Is that true? he was
asked in a WLNS-TV-6 and FOX2 TV interview.
Nope. "There is a difference of opinion on
that. I'm not on that side in terms of
looking at it."
See the pattern
here. He's been backing away from this
measure because schools were not given a path to block guns from their
buildings. But there's a more personal
reason: He was almost killed by a gunman while at the U of M.
In quiet and
deliberate tones, the governor recounts on camera the night he was on duty as
an R.A. when a would-be killer entered the dorm. Under normal circumstances the governor would
have been the first responder. But he
was detained while another R.A. "went up the floor and was killed."
That could have been you? the
interviewer inquired. Now pausing again, the governor recalls, "Ah, most
likely it should have been me."
As for the impact on his own life he says
it's real, adding he could "see this young man come down and be on the
verge of dying….and then he did die." And that might have been Rick
Snyder.
Now as governor his
backers will say his veto reflects that life experience aimed at saving lives
while the NRA will contend he got this one wrong.
