Michigan Governor Signs Gun Violence Prevention Bills into Law.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation aimed at preventing gun violence by expanding background checks and establishing penalties for those who fail to keep firearms out of the hands of children. The bills also require gun owners to store their firearms in a locked container or use a locking device if they have a child in the house or take their gun somewhere a child could gain access to it. Whitmer repeated her call for lawmakers to send legislation to create a so-called "red flag law" her way.
