Governor Gretchen Whitmer and former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords of Arizona held a gun safety rally with state lawmakers at the Michigan Capitol yesterday. Giffords served in the U.S. House from 2006 until 2012 and survived an assassination attempt in Tucson in January 2011. She said change does not happen overnight, while Whitmer said lawmakers are working on universal background checks, extreme risk protection orders, and creating safe storage laws. Also speaking were survivors of the Oxford High School and Michigan State University mass shootings.
