Around 100 people braved the relentless Michigan summer sun Wednesday for a rally in defense of gun rights in Michigan following months of new gun control bills being signed into law and ahead of a full ban on firearms at the state Capitol.

The event, held on a farm in Ionia, 40 minutes northwest from the state Capitol, took the place of the annual Second Amendment March that’s been held on the Capitol lawn for the last decade, as the Advance previously reported.

So far this legislative session, in which Democrats have control of both the state House and Senate for the first time in almost 40 years, lawmakers have passed and gotten Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to sign laws instituting universal background checks for firearm sales in Michigan and require firearms and ammunition to be safely stored away from minors.

In May, alongside gun control advocates, including Michigan State University student Troy Forbush, who survived the Feb. 13 campus shooting, Whitmer signed “red flag” legislation into law that allows judges to order the removal of firearms from individuals that pose a threat to themselves or others.

I posted about this a few days ago. Frankly, I'm surprised that 100 people showed up for this travesty.
