The Rotary Tri-District is organizing a conference in Dearborn aimed at promoting gun safety and discussing solutions for violence reduction. Scheduled for March 28 at Henry Ford College, the event offers a platform for community engagement, featuring three panels that will address the role of firearms in society, the impacts of gun violence, and effective safety strategies. Notably, Michigan state Rep. Brenda Carter will highlight recent changes to long gun registration laws, emphasizing the necessity of responsible ownership.
