Democrats and Republicans in the Michigan State Legislature have both introduced bills that would impact gun laws or school security. Those all have to make it through the state House of Representatives and Senate before they can become law, but one proposal is already a done deal and will add millions for school security in this fiscal year.
Michigan’s Senate voted unanimously in April to pass a $18.65 million supplemental budget bill. Fifteen million will go toward school security grants through the Michigan State Police.
Three million will go toward an alert system app that will connect to 911 services, which will allow teachers to press one button to let authorities know about a threat or emergency.

How many times do we have to say this?
The Constitution provides authority only for background checks at retail, pursuant to the commerce clause.
THERE IS NO AUTHORITY IN THE CONSTITUTION DELEGATING AUTHORITY TO INTERFERE WITH PRIVATE TRANSFERS OF PROPERTY. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
