Gun Violence and MI Law

Thousands of young people attended a vigil Wednesday night to remember the students shot and killed this week in the heart of Michigan State’s campus. Today, we try to piece together the law that allowed for someone with a prior gun-conviction to legally own another gun. We also hear from a public health researcher about why stronger policies alone aren’t enough.  GUESTS: Craig Mauger, reporter, Detroit News Marc Zimmerman, Co-Director of the Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention at the University of Michigan ____ Looking for more conversations from Stateside?
