So my first piece of legislation had to do with safe storage of firearms. So I really believe strongly that if you have that right, it comes with a responsibility. And so If you have a firearm and you do not properly store it and a child gets ahold of it and hurts themselves or someone else, you're criminally liable. And we were able to pass that and get that to the governor's desk last year as well. So it's been a really interesting environment, a really exciting time to serve as a Democrat in Michigan.
