The Giffords Law Center released its nationwide, annual gun law scorecard.
The study graded states by their gun safety measures and 2018 gun violence statistics.
The center is a nationally known policy organization that has supported the reduction of gun violence through stricter gun laws.
The center said gun violence kills more than 1,000 Michigan residents each year.
It gave Michigan a letter grade of "C" and ranked the state 16 out of 50.
The study said Michigan's gun related death rank is 37 out of 50.
The study also found that Michigan's gun violence has disproportionately impacted communities of color.

TO REMEMBER |
| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal. — Pete Shields, founder of Handgun Control, Inc., New Yorker Magazine, June 26, 1976, pg. 53 |
