LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – Look for the pro-gun control lobby to introduce new legislation this week aimed at reducing gun violence in schools. This comes, of course, in the wake of the four student deaths at Oxford High School last week.
The Senate GOP leader Mike Shirkey reportedly told Senator Rosemary Bayer (D-Oakland County) before COVID-19 struck that he would allow a committee hearing on gun control legislation. If indeed there was such a pledge, it would be a break through for the gun control lobby. A committee hearing doesn’t guarantee the votes will be there, but at least there is a chance to bring public pressure to bare on some Republicans to vote yes. “I don’t think we’re going to do it on our own, to put forth a compromise, without public pressure from the outside helping them to understand – not me telling them – that the people really want to do this,” said Bayer. Sen. Bayer has a host of new proposals coming up, but placing metal detectors in schools is not on her agenda. “We need less guns in high schools, not metal detectors that turn schools into prisons and military zones,” said Bayer. What she does favor is forcing firearms buyers to sign a document promising to keep their weapons away from young children and she wants to limit magazines to 10 bullets. “There is proven evidence in other states, it reduces accidents, it reduces intentional violence by guns and it reduces suicides,” she said. But the Democratic senator knows that Republican Shirkey does not want his caucus to vote yes on these gun control measures. Yet, the senator believes she has some GOP tacit support. More than five GOP senators have thrown their tentative support behind her proposal, Bayer claims. https://www.wlns.com/news/michigan/skubick-pro-gun-control-lobby-to-introduce-legislation-in-mi-senate/ |

They can submit any bill they want to, that doesn't mean it's going to be a law.

10 round magazines reduce suicides?
How is that even possible? If I shot myself 9 times and am still kicking it was just not meant to happen. |

Honestly? At this point, any mag restrictions introduced - anywhere - used to lose me off but now simply baffle me as they smack of so 2 years ago. Gun and ammo sales have been the roof since peak the-thing-that-had-its-own-forum and riots/chaos over the last year that is seems anyone who still pushes for restrictions are few in number.

Not one of the reasons she mentioned would have been positively effected by the 10 round limit. Genius.

“There is proven evidence in other states, it reduces accidents, it reduces intentional violence by guns and it reduces suicides,” she said. View Quote Okay, so where's a reporter to ask her what the "proven evidence" is? No one ever calls these people on their nonsense. It's like when they lie about something they said, someone should be right there with a video clip of their original words. How about you make it easier to get help for troubled children, including isolation if necessary, before they turn to violence and seek weapons to harm others? A three day stay at a cushy psychiatric facility doesn't fix a broken psyche. The mental health crisis is real, and it's not getting better. |

"it reduces accidents," that is what you call a flat lie. One can buy that 1 round is and accident two no way, 10 impossible. Yep, he shot the guy 10 times in the back by accident. "it reduces intentional violence by guns and it reduces suicides," show us the evidence, talk is cheap and when it comes from a leftist it is worthless. |

Quoted: Shirkey and Upton need to be primaried yesterday View Quote Shirkey distributes state money in his district to buy votes and it's always difficult to beat an incumbent. In the meantime Matt Maddock is in the house and wants to be majority leader next year. He's solid on our side and deserves our support. We want him to be house leader because the leader sets the agenda. |

Everything is about signaling with these people. It’s all about punishing those they don’t like, and avoiding implications that make them uncomfortable, like that the world is dangerous, and practical measures like metal detectors work better than feel good shit about banning magazines.

Mag bans and all the other restrictions always touted after a high profile event are simply political tools to fool the sheeple that they are "doing something". But we all know none of it matters to the insane and criminally minded, but they'll never admit it. Feelings outweigh facts every time.
Having recently moved from CT and experiencing first hand the wish list of gun control rapidly enacted capitalizing on the emotional horror following Sandy Hook, the end result was 2 years later Hartford became the ""Murder capitol of New England " But they did something, for the children. |

Just add the GOP members who go along with it or allow the committee hearings on to the list of assholes who need to be primaried out.
