FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION (EXCERPT)
   Act 319 of 1990

    123.1102 Regulation of pistols or other firearms.Sec. 2.

A local unit of government shall not impose special taxation on, enact or enforce any ordinance or regulation pertaining to, or regulate in any other manner the ownership, registration, purchase, sale, transfer, transportation, or possession of pistols or other firearms, ammunition for pistols or other firearms, or components of pistols or other firearms, except as otherwise provided by federal law or a law of this state.

"If they want to carry guns so badly, they should join the Army and go over to Afghanistan. They have a lot of big guns over there."

Why that sounds exactly like every damned booger eatin' anti-Second Amendment Leftist assclown that I've ever argued with.

And, that sure as hell is a far cry away from him recommending that everyone "Buy an Uzi".  Then again, maybe Patterson is on the sauce again.

For example, Article IV, Section 16:

"§ 16 Legislature; officers, rules of procedure, expulsion of members.

"Sec. 16.

"Each house, except as otherwise provided in this constitution, shall choose its own officers and determine the rules of its proceedings, but shall not adopt any rule that will prevent a majority of the members elected thereto and serving therein from discharging a committee from the further consideration of any measure. ..."

But in 2008, a motion to discharge the House Judiciary Committee from sitting on the Parental Rights Joint Resolution, so that it could be sent on to the voters, was thwarted exactly in this manner, despite the vast majority of legislatures having cosigned the measure.
