Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Pushes More Gun Control for Michigan
Breitbart ^ | 04/23/2025 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 04/23/2025 11:40:24 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Tuesday, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) pushed for more gun control in her state, claiming, โ€œGuns are the number one killer of young people in America.โ€

Whitmer made the comments in Lansing, with members of the gun control lobby gathered behind her for Annual Advocacy Day.

For years the left was called out for claiming guns were the number one cause of death for children in America. Breitbart News showed this claim to be false when President Joe Biden first made it on June 2, 2022. We noted the claim was based on reported 2020 CDC data, then dug into the data to find that 18- and 19-year-olds (i.e., people of voting age) had to be counted as children in order for Bidenโ€™s claim to be accurate.

But 18- and 19-year-olds are not children, and therefore, Bidenโ€™s claim was false.

I think killers are the number one reason for killing.

Blacks in particular.

Black people are violent by nature, no impulse control, like feral animals?

Tribal without a purpose except chasing spinning rims and meaningless flair.

A very specific 3% of the US population commits the vast majority of gun crimes.

Can you guess which 3% that would be?

Never met a gun that jumped up and killed someone.
The stupid bitches just won’t go away!
So you know what, we will will ignore her laws.
Democrats can pass all the laws they want and we will ignore them.
They can call me a criminal, I think I am a Free man.
I obey God’s laws. Your women’s laws not so much.

Like gun control solves any crime issues... It doesn’t, it only makes matters worse for the citizens and better for the criminals.

Seems the dems want control of all lives to prevent killing but yet 20 million illegals with histories of violence were encouraged to illegally enter the Country and now the violent gang members are being supported by the dems to remain here even after Trump is legally trying to deport them.......Is Gretchen crazy?
