Whitmer signs Michigan gun ban for domestic abusers | Detroit | Detroit Metro Times
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation aimed to keep guns out of abusers’ hands in Kalamazoo, 24 years after the tragic death of Maggie Wardle, 19, at the hands of an ex-boyfriend.
“I could jump for joy,” Maggie’s mother, Martha Omilian, told the Advance after Whitmer signed a series of bills that extend gun restrictions to those who are convicted of domestic violence-related crimes from just those with felonies to misdemeanors offenses.
“If one person … maybe somebody doesn’t have to go through this,” Martha said. “I will sit with this for the rest of my life. It’s the last thing I think about at night and the first thing I think about in the morning.”

During the #trial, state prosecutors had argued that #Molitor and the #NullBrothers had participated in military-style drills & cased Whitmer’s vacation property in #AntrimCounty in northern #Michigan. The plot, which #FBI informants helped disrupt, involved plans to capture #Whitmer (D) at the home, #detonate a #bridge & ignite an #ArmedRebellion ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
