Bipartisan Lawmakers Urge DOJ to Restore Domestic Violence Grants

News summary

Advocates, survivors, and lawmakers gathered at the Michigan Capitol to demand stronger gun violence prevention measures, highlighting the personal toll of gun violence and the ongoing need for legislative action. Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II emphasized the state's investment of over $1.6 billion in public safety and their commitment to enacting commonsense reforms, such as background checks, safe storage laws, and extreme risk protection orders. This year, there is a push for new policies that would hold the gun industry accountable and provide more support to gun violence victims. Survivors like Rebakah Schuler, affected by the Oxford High School shooting, called for further preventative action to protect future generations. Lawmakers are considering proposals to allow civil lawsuits against gun manufacturers, although gun rights advocates argue such measures threaten the industry. Despite progress, participants agreed that more work is needed to ensure the safety of all Michigan residents.
