Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed a package of six expansive gun violence prevention bills into law Thursday that will create universal background checks for all firearms and mandate safe storage requirements around children

. Michigan has felt the impact of deadly school shootings in recent years. In February, a gunman killed three Michigan State University students and critically wounded five others. In 2021, a shooting at Oxford High School near Detroit left four students dead and six others injured.

The sale of firearm safety devices will be exempted from sales tax and the law specifies that the state’s “use tax” will not apply to the storage or use of firearm safety devices. “The tragic mass shooting at Michigan State University was a call to action, and Governor Whitmer and Michigan legislators answered it by championing common-sense laws to keep all Michiganders safe from gun violence,” John Feinblatt, the president of Everytown for Gun Safety, said in a statement.

Why not add to the bill that the parents be punished the same as the child that commits the gun crime !!

How about sign some bills to check the mental illness in this country, corresponding to anti-depressant medications, brought on societal programming and social media addiction 🤔

huh wonder if the gang violence will stop now

She did nothing but pander votes. These laws are already in place across America. But the sheep don't know.

I wish she'd fight so hard to save babies instead of to murder them

Why are you still not in jail

She planning on getting a crew to “take “ her again 🤷🏽‍♀️

Michigan sucks

That's a good thing 👍

Does anyone really believe criminals and murderers are going to participate in these Unconstitutional gun laws? 'Hell No'

No one cares about Michigan.

Thank you.

Prosecutors all across the country fail to enforce gun laws. Cops can arrest a drug dealer with a gun and prosecutors may charge the drugs and ignore the gun possession charge claiming the “other charge is enough”. Thus, the FULL extent of gun crimes and illegal guns is unknown.

This is comical. There are already background checks and safe storage of guns in place for legal gun owners as a whole. The ILLEGAL guns are being ignored because it is too damn hard for Gretchen and her ilk to tackle this problem. Everyday people are being murdered in cities by…

Looking forward to this trash legislation being struck down as unconstitutional

Still not going to stop a nut with no criminal history from getting a assault weapon and killing people

And it does nothing to any black thugs shooting other black thugs.

I'm sure criminals will get right on those safe storage requirements.

This is how gun laws should be made. At the state level. That way if you don't like your gun laws in your state move.

Looks like cartels will be expanding their business to gun sales. Why do democRATS Cartels so much, that they are doing everything they can to make them more money!?

How the fuck do you prove safe usage?

Hopefully she's including the illegal gun owners on the streets that a commitment in most the crime. That would mean taking these guns off the street the illegal ones that is

Big deal, she is just doing that now. Many states already have that on the books.

Needs elección control

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED ? [THEY] KNOW THESE LAWS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL THE CONSTITUTION HAS TO BE CHANGED FIRST

Will criminals follow these bills?

That means absolutely nothing absolutely nothing when humans want to create violence they'll pick up any kind of weapon does it matter what it is they've used many different things to harm or kill people it's the human mind and what you're teaching these kids in school .

I'm sure Detroit is much safer today

Scotus will strike down. Waste of time

Sick !

Crooks will have free access to their weapons giving the upper hand to them when they decide to break into your home?

Just like California

She needs to run for president

Allow police to enforce current laws and have prosecutors and judges to sentence accordingly. You can make all these BS laws, but if you don’t do that 👆then none of it matters.

Oh look more gun laws they won’t enforce and that won’t fix the issue

Will her security detail be keeping their guns in a safe?

I’m sure all the criminals will be deterred after that signing. Fucking joke.

He thinks that’s going make a difference. 😂😂😂

A little late!

And when they don't work, are dems willing to repeal them?

Same Gov that banned gardening and traveling to lake houses during Covid. Well, for everyone other than her.

What’s she going to do when there’s still mass shootings in Michigan?

Tyrant

Send $1 to $Quejamhar please, anything will help!

Make all the laws you want, criminals don't care.

Go Michigan!

Racist Democrats are helping criminals kill black people

Finally a politician with balls ! Funny that it’s a woman with more balls than most male politicians...

I bet this doesn't make detroit any safer.

They sure like locking minority up! These new laws are racist! DemocratsDestroyEverything

Why does nobody wanna talk about the fact that black males are responsible for most gun violence

Are they going to send people with guns to make sure everyone has their guns locked up? Will there be warrants issued, or will they just be able to check, no questions asked?

Whitmer signs stricter gun background check, storage billsMichigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has signed legislation that will enact safe storage requirements for firearms and universal background checks for gun sales. Whitmer signed the legislation Thursday at the East Lansing campus of Michigan State University where three students were killed by a gunman two months ago. The Michigan House is expected to vote Thursday afternoon on red flag laws, also known as extreme risk protection orders, and Whitmer said she would sign the bills when they are given final approval. A shooting in downtown Louisville this week was the 15th mass killing of the year in the U.S. in which four or more people were killed other than the perpetrator. So nothing new was passed. But she's at least doing something.... all gun purchases not under the table have required a background check. This is not new. Do we need state permits to practice the 1st amendment now too?
