April 13, 2023, 2:01 PMStudents demonstrate next to the Spartan statue as they stand with others that have faced gun violence two months after a shooting at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich., April 12, 2023.Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed two gun safety bills into law Thursday, requiring universal background checks for all gun sales and the safe storage of firearms and ammunition in homes.
The first of the two new laws would require anyone who does not have a gun license to undergo a federal national instant criminal background check before purchasing a gun, according to the legislation. Prior Michigan law only required background checks for pistol purchases, but not long gun or shotgun purchases. Whitmer said the previous law "doesn't make any sense," adding that background checks also help law enforcement stay safe on the job and solve crimes more easily.The second law introduces new safe storage requirements, aiming to ensure children do not have access to guns and ammunition being stored at home.
Gun owners who enter other premises where a minor is located and leave their firearm unattended in a vehicle must store the firearm in a locked box or container in the vehicle, or keep the firearm unloaded and lock the firearm with a locking device that is properly engaged to render the firearm inoperable by any individual other than the owner or an authorized user, according to the legislation.
Sadly dems pass gun laws that would not have prevented the MSU shooting. Career dems will take people's emotions, pass useless law and celebrate. MSU was a gun free zone and had campus police. Mass shooter don't follow gun laws. Gun laws take guns away from future victims.
All right Y'all. This is what meaningful gun legislation looks like! Way to go Michigan. Go GREEN!
This still won’t prevent an Oxford or MSU scenario. Oxford - parents purchased gun legally then illegally allowed their 15 year old to possess it. MSU-guy was in possession of a pistol illegally. The theme here: “ILLEGALLY” which they don’t follow the rules.
