PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT
AND KEEPING OUR WATER CLEAN
“The epidemic of gun violence in this country became personal to me when, as a student at Central Michigan University, there was an active shooter on our campus. The coverage that I’d watched on TV, the experiences of taking cover for active shooter drills in grade school, and the way the educational experience of my generation became defined in part by a fear of gun violence became more real on that day than ever before. It’s time to finally stand up to the NRA and elect leaders who will address this crisis head on!” - Ethan

Enact Universal Background Checks on gun sales to ensure that dangerous criminals, those convicted of domestic violence, and those who may harm themselves or others aren’t able to obtain a gun through loopholes in the law.
-
Create waiting periods because studies have concluded that waiting periods save lives by ensuring that people who are angry at others have time to “cool off” before obtaining a weapon.
-
Pass Red Flag Laws to join 17 other states in allowing family members or law enforcement to petition a judge for an extreme risk protection order (ERPO) to remove guns from individuals who may harm themselves or others.

Ban the sale of Assault Weapons and limit high capacity magazines to stifle the ability of shooters to target so many people in a short period of time.

Close the “open carry” loophole by banning open carry in schools, places of worship, college campuses, bars, day cares, and hospitals.
-
Oppose GOP efforts to repeal Michigan’s gun-free zone law that bans concealed carry in schools, places of worship, college campuses, bars, day cares, and hospitals.
