There remains a lot of talk around the country about gun control following mass shootings over the weekend in Chicago, Dayton, and El Paso. At an event this week in Grand Rapids, Governor Whitmer was asked for her thoughts, and she says rejects the “false narrative” that you have to either be pro-Second Amendment or pro-gun control.
“Most people that I know who are gun owners support more stringent laws on the books with regard to who can access a gun and who can raise the red flags,” said Whitmer. “There are a lot of things that we can do.”
A state representative from Oakland County is seeking to introduce red flag legislation soon, which would temporarily remove firearms from someone deemed by a court to be a possible danger to themselves or others. President Trump and Congressman Fred Upton both called for those nationally in recent days as well.
