Whitmer wants "red flag" laws, "universal" background checks, and more

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer told lawmakers on Wednesday that the “time for only thoughts and prayers is over”… and now it’s apparently open season on the Second Amendment rights of residents.

While Democrats hold slim majorities in both legislative chambers, Whitmer called on them to impose a number of new restrictions on legal gun owners, though her legislative wish list did not include a ban on so-called assault weapons, as we’ve seen in a number of other blue states this year.
