2022 MI Governor's race: on Gun Control

James Craig: Disarm criminals, not law abiding citizens

James Craig: Gun buybacks are a comedy show, a recipe for failure

Tudor Dixon: Stop all efforts to restrict the 2nd Amendment

Regarding school safety, she has called for all so-called "diversity/equity/inclusion" consultants and administrators in public schools to be cut and the funding for their positions to be repurposed and used for armed school security. She also proposed using one-time federal COVID relief funds to harden schools through increased security features and planning.
• Enact Constitutional Carry: Stop all efforts to restrict the 2nd Amendment and ensure that law-abiding citizens can protect themselves.
• Fund De-escalation Training: Increase funding for training in de-escalation techniques. Stop perpetuating the false and racist myths that law enforcement officers are inherently racist.
• Zero-Tolerance for Riots: Enhance criminal penalties for crimes committed during riots or violent "protests."

Gretchen Whitmer: We need red-flag laws and requirement for secure gun storage

Dixon said she wants armed security at schools, as well as a single entry point for school buildings. "We need an Office of Safe Schools, like states like Florida have, to make sure that this is a top priority," Dixon said.

"We've been trying that for 30 years. It's not working," Whitmer said. Instead, she said, Michigan needs to enact laws requiring background checks and secure storage, as well as "red flag" laws. "Ask yourself, who is going to keep your kids safe: The former prosecutor with plans, or a candidate with thoughts and prayers?" Whitmer said.
