LAWMAKERS ARE TAKING UP TOUGHER
GUN CONTROL MEASURES IN LANSING
RIGHT NOW, THESE BILLS ALL
INTRODUCED IN THE DAYS AFTER THE
SHOOTING AT MICHIGAN STATE,
MEGAN WOODS LIVE FROM LANSING
WITH WHAT’S IN THEM, MEGAN. OF
COURSE, DEMOCRATS HAVE THE
MAJORITY NOW IN LANSING, AND
THIS IS A TOP PRIORITY FOR THEM.
THAT’S RIGHT, AND THE DEMOCRATS
THEY DO HAVE THE MAJORITY, BUT
THEY’RE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO
ARE MAKING THIS A PRIORITY TODAY
DURING A HOUSE COMMITTEE MEETING
AND HEARING, A REPUBLICAN AND
FORMER CONGRESSMAN TESTIFIED
ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHERS,
INCLUDING MOMS, DEMAND ACTION,
AND WE WERE THERE WHEN THAT
MEETING STARTED WITH AN
EMOTIONAL PLEA, TAKE A LISTEN WE
HAVE PEOPLE HERE TODAY, KIDS
EVEN WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH
UNIMAGINABLE FEAR AND VIOLENCE
AS RECENTLY AS TWO WEEKS AGO,
AND THE BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS OF
MICHIGAN STATE JUST DOWN THE
ROAD, A CHILLING REMINDER THAT
THIS BILL PACKAGE ISN’T JUST
ABOUT PREVENTING FUTURE
TRAGEDIES BUT MENDING WHAT COULD
HAVE BEEN DONE. WE ALL WANT THE
SAME THING. TO HAVE OUR KIDS
COME HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY.
AND FOR OUR FRIENDS AND OUR
FAMILY TO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY.
AND SAFE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON
JUDICIARY HEARD FROM MEMBERS OF
THE COMMUNITY LIKE THIS FIREARMS
INSTRUCTOR WHO’S GRIEVING THE
LOSS OF CLOSE FRIENDS DUE TO
FIREARM SUICIDES. NONE OF THESE
LAWS INFRINGE ON MY SECOND
AMENDMENT RIGHTS. THEY DON’T
REVOKE MY RIGHT TO OWN OR
OPERATE A FIREARM. NORTHERN DO
THEY PROHIBIT WHAT I CAN OWN OR
WHERE I DON’T CARRY IT. THEN
THERE’S PEOPLE LIKE FORMER
MEMBER OF CONGRESS, FRED UPTON,
YOU KNOW HOW MANY STRAWS IS IT
GONNA TAKE FOR US TO FINALLY DO
SOMETHING TO HELP OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT? YOU MAKE OUR
COMMUNITIES A BIT SAFER. HIS
TESTIMONY OVER ZOOM WAS IN
SUPPORT OF THE GOVERNOR’S RED
FLAG LAW. UPTON IS A REPUBLICAN
SUPPORT THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
IT’S HIS HOPE THAT BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT LIKE THIS WILL MARK A
TURNING POINT FOR MICHIGANNATIVE
ALREADY HAVE IT MICHIGANNATIVE
20TH. THE COMMITTEE MADE IT VERY
CLEAR THIS AFTERNOON THAT THE
BILLS IN THIS PACKAGE ARE NOT AT
THE FINAL STAGE. SO THEY ARE
SAYING THIS IS JUST A STARTING
POINT. AND THAT’S WHY HEARINGS
LIKE THIS ARE SO IMPORTANT. NOW.
TOMORROW THERE IS A SENATE
HEARING AT NOON, AND ANOTHER
REPUBLICAN, A FORMER CONGRESSMAN
, DAVE TROTT, HE WILL BE
TESTIFYING AT THAT HEARING, SO
THEY ALSO PUT OUT STATEMENTS
WILL HAVE THAT ON
CLICKONDETROIT.COM LIVE IN
LANSING. I’M MEGAN WOODS. FOUR
LOCAL ALRIGHT. MEGAN AMINO
MICHIGAN STATE IS MAKING
SECURITY CHANGES FOLLOWING THE
SHOOTING THAT KILLED THREE
STUDENTS AND WOUNDED FIVE OTHERS
. UNIVERSITY IS ADDING LOCKS TWO
DOORS REQUIRING KEY CARD TO GET
INTO MOST BUILDINGS ON CAMPUS.
OFFICIALS SAY MORE CAMERAS ARE
BEING ADDED TO THE THOUSANDS
THAT ARE ALREADY UP. THERE WERE
NO CAMERAS AT BERKEY HALL, WHERE
SEVEN OF THE STUDENTS WERE SHOT
IN A CLASSROOM. BUT MSU IS ALSO
TAKING BIDS FOR AN OUTSIDE
REVIEW OF THE UNIVERSITY’S
RESPONSE TO THE SHOOTING. A MAN
FACING FEDERAL CHARGES TONIGHT
AFTER A SERIES OF TWEETS IN
WHICH SHE ALLEGEDLY THREATENED
JEWISH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS THE
LATEST INCIDENT WHERE MEMBERS OF
THE JEWISH COMMUNITY WERE
TARGETED. VICTOR WILLIAMS TAKES
A LIVE LOOK AT THIS WITH WHAT
HE’S LEARNING ABOUT THIS CASE,
VICTOR YES, KIMBERLY AND DEVON.
IT LOOKS LIKE THIS MAN WAS
TWEETING ALL THE WAY FROM TEXAS,
BUT THE FBI DID NOT TAKE IT
LIGHTLY AT ALL. THIS IS A REAL
THREAT. 41 YEAR OLD JACK
CARPENTER. THE THIRD IS FOUND
HIMSELF IN HOT WATER AFTER
ALLEGEDLY MAKING THREATS AGAINST
JEWISH STATE OFFICIALS IN
MICHIGAN SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
RELATIONS COUNCIL RABBI ASHER
LOW PATENT IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNED
WITH THE NEWS. AMERICAN JEWS
FEEL THREATENED BY ANTI
SEMITISM. IT’S INCREASED. IT’S
REAL, AND THIS IS ANOTHER
ILLUSTRATION. IT’S SAID THAT ON
FEBRUARY, THE 17TH AND 18TH
CARPENTER MADE THE THREATS USING
A TWITTER ACCOUNT WITH THE
HANDLE TEMPERED REASON. ONE
TWEET READS. QUOTE I’M HEADING
BACK TO MICHIGAN NOW THREATENING
TO CARRY OUT THE PUNISHMENT OF
DEATH TO ANYONE THAT IS JEWISH
AND MICHIGAN GOVERNMENT IF THEY
DON’T LEAVE OR CONFESS. AND NOW
THAT KIND OF PROBLEM BECAUSE I
CAN LEGALLY DO THAT RIGHT END
QUOTE MORE THAN LIKELY THAT
TWEET IS IN REFERENCE TO
CARPENTERS ALLEGED DECLARATION
OF SOVEREIGNTY, WHERE HE CLAIMED
A NEW COUNTRY NAMED NEW ISRAEL
WAS BEING FORMED AT HIS MICHIGAN
HOME IN TIPTON, AND THAT
AMERICAN LAWS DID NOT APPLY
PEOPLE. UNFORTUNATELY THAT MIGHT
HAVE EVEN MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
CAN KILL PEOPLE ANOTHER TWEET.
HE SPECIFICALLY NAMES, LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT, SAYING QUOTE YOU
MAY WANT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW
WHEN WAYNE COUNTY SHERIFF AS
WELL, ANY ATTEMPT TO SUBDUE ME
WILL BE MET WITH DEADLY FORCE IN
SELF DEFENSE. THE TWEETS APPEAR
TO BE ADDRESSED PARTIALLY TWO
CARPENTERS MOTHER AFTER SHE
REFUSED TO SEND HIM MONEY TO
TRAVEL TO MICHIGAN. THE
INDICTMENT ALSO SAYS CARPENTER
HAD THREE REGISTERED HANDGUNS
ALONG WITH OTHER WEAPONS, ONE OF
WHICH HE ALLEGEDLY STOLE FROM
HIS MOTHER. THIS MAN HAS SAID SO
MANY DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH THE
LAW THAT IT IS VERY SCARING.
CARPENTER WAS ARRESTED BACK IN
DECEMBER FOR ASSAULT, AND WE’RE
ALSO TOLD THAT HE HAD AN
UNSERVED PERSONAL PROTECTION
ORDER AS WELL. NOW ON TOP OF
THAT STARTS THIS NEXT CHAPTER
AND ALL OF HIS LEGAL ISSUES.
VICTOR WILLIAMS LOCAL 4
