The Giffords Law Center released its nationwide, annual gun law scorecard.
The study graded states by their gun safety measures and 2018 gun violence statistics.
The center is a nationally known policy organization that has supported the reduction of gun violence through stricter gun laws.
The center said gun violence kills more than 1,000 Michigan residents each year.
It gave Michigan a letter grade of "C" and ranked the state 16 out of 50.
The study said Michigan's gun related death rank is 37 out of 50.
The study also found that Michigan's gun violence has disproportionately impacted communities of color.

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
