State Sen. presses for more action on gun crimes [Video]

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) – Nearly a week after a teenager was shot and killed blocks away from the state capitol building, Democratic State Senator Sarah Anthony is calling on fellow lawmakers to keep up the momentum on battling gun violence.

Anthony made the statement in the state senate Wednesday while backing a resolution recognizing June as National Gun Violence Awareness Month.

“All I can think about was the loss of life and the potential that that young man would have contributed to our community, our state, and our country,” said Anthony.
