Michigan Democrats Rush To Pass New Gun Control Laws After Michigan State Shooting

Every time there is a shooting, Democrats rush to infringe on the rights of the law abiding citizens who didn’t do it.

The case of the shooting at Michigan State University is no different.

And because Democrats in Michigan gained more power in the 2022 midterms, they plan to use it.

Michigan Democrats move to expedite new gun laws after MSU shooting

Michigan Democrats are looking to expedite new gun control laws after the mass shooting at Michigan State University.

Democrats won the two state legislatures in the 2022 midterm elections, giving them control of the three major seats of power in the state. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) won reelection as well.

The party now has the opportunity to push through gun control legislation that has been stonewalled by hesitant Republicans. Monday’s mass shooting at Michigan State University gives them an opportunity to hurry the legislation through the legislature.

“We’re going to try to move faster. After years of not getting an inch, now we’re making real plans,” Democratic state Sen. Rosemary Bayer told Politico.

“Some of the legislation we have goes back 10 years,” she added. “We just haven’t been able to get any traction to do anything.”

She went on to give a schedule of the new legislation, but she said the party should act earlier.

“We had a schedule that we’re trying to move up even more. We were targeting right after the first week of April, that’s what we were planning for, but we want to respond quicker,” Bayer said.

All the usual suspects are calling for more gun control.

The grifter @shannonrwatts can’t even wait an hour before injecting politics into a tragedy. And she’s already fundraising. Sickening.

If someone tells you there’s nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

— Gun laws in other countries have stopped mass shootings

— More guns don’t make us safer

— A majority of Americans want gun control

We don’t have to live like this.
