On a typical day, more than <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ncadv.org\/STATISTICS\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">20,000 phone calls<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> are placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide.

Guns ultimately exacerbate power and control dynamics, helping abusers to inflict maximal emotional and physical abuse on their partners and family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/senatedems.com\/chang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/11\/DVAM-Stats-scaled.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; title_text=&#8221;DVAM Stats&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">While recent reports indicate that cases of domestic violence are slightly declining from pre-pandemic levels, researchers have found that cases are escalating into <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/michiganadvance.com\/2023\/10\/05\/domestic-violence-may-be-getting-more-deadly-in-michigan\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">more severe abuse<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> through use of firearms \u2014 leading to more lethal outcomes. In instances of domestic violence where a firearm is present, the risk of homicide increases by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ncadv.org\/STATISTICS\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">500 percent<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\"> <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Currently under state law, individuals convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor are not barred from possessing or carrying a firearm for any amount of time. To close this dangerous loophole, Sen. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit) and Sen. Sue Shink (D-Northfield Twp.) introduced Senate Bills <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/legislature.mi.gov\/doc.aspx?2023-SB-0471\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">471<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/legislature.mi.gov\/doc.aspx?2023-SB-0472\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">472<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/legislature.mi.gov\/doc.aspx?2023-SB-0528\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">528<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, with Rep.

This legislation would modify the state\u2019s penal code \u2014 protecting domestic violence survivors by preventing those convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence crimes from possessing, using, purchasing or carrying a firearm in Michigan for eight years.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cI have worked with domestic and gun violence prevention experts for years to address the issue of domestic violence and firearms, because too many survivors face dramatically increased risk from their abusers,\u201d said Sen. Chang. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen how firearms and domestic violence are a dangerous combination, yet our current state laws leave open a loophole that can be exploited by abusers to obtain a firearm and wreak deadly havoc. This bipartisan legislation serves as a common-sense solution to the problem and will protect survivors in our state from further abuse.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/senatedems.com\/chang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/11\/Sen-Chang-Speaks-On-DV-231011.mp4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Sen Chang Speaks On DV 231011&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sen. Stephanie Chang speaks on the floor of the Senate chamber in support of a legislative package to disarm convicted domestic abusers, helping provide relief to survivors across Michigan.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This bipartisan legislation brings Michigan into partial alignment with federal law, giving state and local law enforcement officials tools to protect survivors. Since its implementation in 1996, the federal law has successfully resulted in 17% fewer gun-related homicides among female intimate partner victims and 25% fewer gun homicides among child domestic violence victims. A state law will only serve to bolster these numbers and protect survivors from deadly outcomes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">&#8220;The issue of domestic violence touches Michiganders in all corners of our state,\u201d said Sen. Shink. \u201cThroughout the committee process, we\u2019ve heard heartbreaking testimony from residents who have survived abuse, as well as from parents and friends who&#8217;s loved one was shot and killed during a domestic dispute. The research is clear: Firearms and domestic violence are a volatile combination that ends all too often in the senseless loss of life. This legislation serves as an important step to disarm abusers and protect survivors from further pain.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/senatedems.com\/chang\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/11\/Chang-Shink-Committee.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Chang-Shink-Committee&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">Sen.

In previous sessions, Michigan legislators from both sides of the aisle came together to introduce this as a bipartisan package, and this term, the bills passed both the Senate and House with bipartisan support. It\u2019s clear that protecting women, children and other survivors from domestic violence is not a partisan issue \u2014 it\u2019s simply common sense.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Due to the Legislature\u2019s courageous action on these bills, Michigan is one step closer to joining the majority of states who have enhanced protections for survivors of domestic violence.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Everyone deserves a relationship free from domestic violence.
