 So let's begin this conversation and I'm going to begin it on a subject of great importance, but a bit of a downer Governor, which is that in the wake of the tragedy at the Michigan State Obviously the question of safety in schools safety and campuses is of great concern all around the country I'm sure especially to the audience here After it happened you said I this quote we're in a unique position to take action and save lives So what are you gonna do? Well first let me say this you know of all the tough stuff that I've had to navigate the last four plus years And there's been a lot right from five or your flooding events to plots to a pandemic I mean, it's just been one challenge after another There's no question that the toughest days have been in the wake of the Oxford shooting at the end of 2021 and of course the That shoot in on Michigan State's campus and it is maddening that in this country and only in the US The number one killer of young people is guns We can and we must take action and that's that's what I'm trying to do Our legislatures in session right now, they are debating things like secure storage requirements background checks Extreme protection orders these are measures that can mitigate the likelihood of something like this happening again You and I did an interview earlier and you said you know does that go far enough? Should we do more? We need to keep working at this but we got to get started And so this is this is the conversation that we're having right now at the state Capitol, but it's also one that is mind-bogglingly Polarizing in terms of politics, you know It was Republicans and Democrats and independents and people who don't identify with voting who were worried about kids on campus Couple weeks ago when this was playing out We've got to find common ground and I think part of wide, you know conversations like the one we're having Is to do that to see the humanity in one another and to see what is possible if we work together and you know I think it is our duty to to pursue it
