@praytogodus the real story is that Karen McDonald was doing this for political reasons and she wants to be the first district attorney to be able to say that she charged and convicted the parents mass shooting 🤷🏻‍♀️ and that’s just the truth

He noted that the bills were ready to go so quickly as they had come about following the 2021 shooting at Oxford High School, which left four students dead, as well as “incidents prior.” Among the bills introduced Thursday is Senate Bill 79, of which Camilleri is a co-sponsor, which seeks to mandate the safe storage of an unloaded firearm in a locked storage box or container when a person knows that firearm is accessible to a minor. This would also extend to locking a firearm in the glove compartment of a car. The bill defines a minor as someone under 18 years-old.

Safe storage laws will take effect Come February 13,2024 Michiganders will also be required to safely store firearms when minors are present. A person could be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by not more than 93 days in jail, a fine of no more than $500, or both, if a minor obtains the firearm due to improper storage. Additional fines and fees are then prescribed for an adult if the minor hurt another with an unsafely stored firearm. These increase should a minor kill another with the obtained firearm. To encourage the purchase of gun safety devices, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer also signed off on two bills that amend Michigan’s sales and use tax to exempt trigger and barrel locks, safes, lock boxes and other items designated to enhance home firearm safety.

It isn’t a crime where this happened. It’s in Michigan. I happen to live there as well and them buying a gun and taking their son to the shooting range or target practicing outside in their backyard is perfectly legal.

@kelleylynch4490 What is the new gun safe storage law in Michigan? The guns must be unloaded and locked with a trigger-locking mechanism or stored in a locked storage container. The legislation, which passed last spring, came after the Feb. 13, 2023, mass shooting on Michigan State University's campus and Nov. 30, 2021, attack at Oxford High School.

If that minor should hurt another person with that obtained firearm, a person could be guilty of a felony and be punished with up to five years of jail time, an up to $5,000 fine, or both; that would jump to a potential 15 year jail sentence, up to $7,500 in fines, or both, should that minor kill another person with the obtained firearm. This would not apply to instances of ranching or farming, target practices, hunting or instruction in the safe use of a firearm. It would also not apply should an employed minor need to possess a firearm.
