On the same day as the Nashville shooting, a federal judge approved a legal settlement lowering the minimum age to carry handguns without a permit in Tennessee from 21 to 18. That came just two years after a new law set the age at 21.Michigan’s new Democratic legislative majority took its first steps earlier this month toward passing a sweeping gun safety package.
Much of the package was crafted by Democrats nearly 15 months ago following a shooting at Oxford High School. But the bills saw little movement until Democrats won control of the Legislature from Republicans in last fall’s elections. They’ve gained momentum after a gunman killed three people last month at Michigan State University, not far from the state Capitol.
The bills would expand who can petition to temporarily remove a firearm from someone who poses a danger, raise the minimum age for purchasing a firearm from 18 to 21 and institute a three-day waiting period when buying a gun. While Polis supports those three bills, he has demurred from questions around a fourth bill that would ban semi-automatic firearms. That bill faces a steeper battle to become law.
But GOP state leaders have made clear from the start that these bills do not have the necessary votes to pass.
It’s amazing how little attention you give a shooting, or an SUV in a parade, etc. when the perp is not someone you oppose politically.
Mass shootings aren't having the desired effect on sheeple? Maybe it's time to stop
Almost as if one of the parties is incentivized to never do anything. 🤔
