Spirit Plaza in downtown Detroit will host a rally Sunday afternoon urging two pieces of federal legislation regarding guns in America: mandatory background checks before gun sales, and a process to allow law enforcement to temporarily remove guns from people's homes who exhibit "red flags."
Sunday's rally comes just hours after an eight-hour period, between Saturday night and Sunday morning, where Detroit had eight people shot, one of them fatally, at six shooting scenes.
"Our focus is to get Congress to act at a federal level to get background checks passed," said Lindsay Warren, a deputy leader of the Michigan chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
