Governor Gretchen Whitmer has taken decisive action in the fight against gun violence by signing several bills into law aimed at enhancing firearm safety.
The new legislation establishes universal background checks for all gun purchases and mandates safe storage practices. Governor Whitmer emphasized the importance of these measures in saving lives, stating, “Universal background checks and safe storage are long-overdue steps that will keep guns out of the hands of criminals, domestic abusers, and children.”
The signed bills include Senate Bills 79, 80, 81, and 82, as well as House Bills 4138 and 4142. These commonsense gun control measures signify a significant step forward in promoting safer communities and preventing tragic incidents involving firearms.
Lt. Governor Garland Gilchrist II says, “Universal background checks and safe storage laws will save lives and help keep families and kids safe at home, in the streets, at school, and at work.”
