More than 100 gun control advocates rallied Thursday at the Michigan Capitol, urging the state’s Republican-led Legislature to enact new “common sense” regulations after a teen gunman last week killed 17 people at a Florida high school.
Organizers said they want lawmakers to ban assault weapons in Michigan, increase funding for community mental health services, hike school funding for social workers, tighten background check rules and do more to keep guns out of the hands of “extreme risk” individuals.
“It’s a sad place and time in America where you go to school and you have to fear for your life,” said Jake Foles, 18, a senior at Kalamazoo Central High School.

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
