Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer called the shootings "horrific.""My heart breaks for the students, teachers, staff and families of Oxford High School," Whitmer said in a statement. "... I want to thank the first responders on the ground working hard to keep people safe as law enforcement officials investigate this shooting and get the community the help it needs right now. “As Michiganders, we have a responsibility to do everything we can to protect each other from gun violence. No one should be afraid to go to school, work, a house of worship, or even their own home. Gun violence is a public health crisis that claims lives every day. We have the tools to reduce gun violence in Michigan. This is a time for us to come together and help our children feel safe at school." [More]
As opposed to helping "our" children BE safe at school?
Gretchen Whitmer, on the other hand, has not only spoken out against arming educators...

In 1990 a law was passed effectively prohibiting the adults in a school from protecting the children; the Gun Free School Zones act. After that the school shootings started, but the act was not rescinded. (One wonders if that was intentional, for political reasons. After all, it was then just a matter of waiting for the occasional nutcase.)
