A state Senate committee held a hearing Thursday on gun violence.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer made stops Tuesday in Lansing and Brighton to build support for her 2023 agenda as she prepares to deliver her fifth State of the State address.

“If we reach across the aisle and we bring people together in every region, and focus on solving problems, we can make Michigan a place where all people can envision a great future,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Recent mass shootings in New York and Texas have renewed the national conversation around gun reform. But in Indiana, access to guns is becoming easier.

Organizers say nearly 600 people showed up to the demonstration in Oxford. There were an estimated 300 protests across the country, including ones in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Traverse City, and Port Huron.

In the wake of mass shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo, more than 100 people gathered in downtown South Bend Saturday to call for stricter gun regulations and government action to prevent future gun violence.
