Democrats and Republicans in the Michigan State Legislature have both introduced bills that would impact gun laws or school security. Those all have to make it through the state House of Representatives and Senate before they can become law, but one proposal is already a done deal and will add millions for school security in this fiscal year.
Michigan’s Senate voted unanimously in April to pass a $18.65 million supplemental budget bill. Fifteen million will go toward school security grants through the Michigan State Police.
Three million will go toward an alert system app that will connect to 911 services, which will allow teachers to press one button to let authorities know about a threat or emergency.

How many times do we have to say this?
The Constitution provides authority only for background checks at retail, pursuant to the commerce clause.
THERE IS NO AUTHORITY IN THE CONSTITUTION DELEGATING AUTHORITY TO INTERFERE WITH PRIVATE TRANSFERS OF PROPERTY. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
