After several years of quick turnarounds at the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, Conservation Officer, Nick Wellman said, “I plan to stay around for a while.“ Assigned to Branch County in May 2018, right out of the academy, Wellman said he plans to make himself more known to the community and not just with fish and game enforcement.
For the first time, Wellman brought the DNR Hunter Safety trailer to the Branch County Fair. There he spent time talking to those who hunt and letting youngster try out the laser simulated shooting range, “teaching gun safety, hunter safety, and hunter etiquette,” he said.
In his time here, Wellman has worked three hunting accidents.

Almost all the candidates running in the Democratic Party primary are currently not running to become president of the United States, but of the internet. This is causing them to scramble leftward across each other in an attempt to win the Twitter primary.
Front-runner Joe Biden, despite leading with the majority that doesn’t live online, is as susceptible as the rest. Given the renewed discussion about gun control, he had this to say on Thursday: “It violates no one’s Second Amendment rights to say you can’t own certain weapons. You’re not allowed to own a bazooka; you can’t own a flamethrower.” |

When tragedy strikes, as it did in two mass killings this month, there is always the urge to pressure the government do something.
Governments are animated by the belief that doing something — any demonstrable overt behavior — will show that they are in control. I understand the natural fears that good folks have that an El Paso or a Dayton episode might happen again, but doing something for the sake of appearance can be dangerous to personal liberty. |

Faith leaders and gun-control activists are calling for Gov. Eric Holcomb to stand up against white supremacy and gun violence, including supporting a ban on assault weapons.
“The dehumanizing rhetoric and speeches from our highest office have put us on a dangerous course toward the normalization of a renewed, open and more emboldened white nationalism,” the group Faith in Indiana said in a letter delivered to Holcomb’s Statehouse office Tuesday morning. “Coupled with easy access to guns, this ideology has created a white terrorism crisis.” |

The U.S. Supreme Court by the end of this year might hear its first Second Amendment case in almost a decade, and March for Our Lives filed a legal document Monday to advise the court on the impact of firearms on America's youth. It argues that the court should decline to set a nationwide firearm policy and instead leave the decision to local and state lawmakers, especially because the people likeliest to be affected by gun violence are reaching an age when they can vote for the first time. Nine students — including two survivors of the mass shooting last year at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland — shared stories of how gun violence has affected their lives. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
