The Michigan Capitol Commission on Monday voted unanimously to ban open-carry guns inside the state Capitol following last week's deadly riot in Washington, D.C., according to multiple reports.

Before Monday's decision, Michigan was one of only three states that had no firearm regulations or security measures in place for its state Capitol, according to the Free Press.

"In addition to lawmakers doing the work of the people, our Capitol is open to school kids, tour groups and others seeking to learn more about the history of our amazing state.

"We don't have the budget, the personnel, the infrastructure to implement at this point," Truscott said after the meeting, according to the Free Press.

After Monday's decision by the state commission to ban open-carry firearms, Whitmer issued a statement saying: "The Capitol Commission’s action to ban open carry guns at the Capitol is a good start, but more action is needed.

On a normal day, hundreds of people walk through the Capitol, including groups of fourth graders, teachers and parents on school field trips to learn about state government.".
