“We failed you.” That phrase was used multiple times as Democrats told students who crowded into the House gallery that more should have and could have been done.
Representative Brenda Carter said the purpose was not only to honor the victims and first responders but also to make a promise:
“To take action! So it won’t happen again! And to set a goal:
“We can and we will end gun violence in Michigan”
The House Democratic majority is drafting bills to require universal background checks, locked gun storage, and a red flag law. Those could be introduced as soon as next week.
