evidence_text: Rep. Wittenberg moved to substitute (H-4) the resolution as follows:
  
  Substitute for House Resolution No. 227.
  
  A resolution to reaffirm the right of Michigan residents to keep and bear arms under the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 and the Constitution of the United States .
  
  Whereas, Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 clearly affirms a right to keep and bear arms. This provision prescribes that the primary purpose of the right to keep and bear arms is not related solely to hunting, but undoubtedly allows Michigan citizens to be able to protect their selves and families from the private lawlessness of other persons or potential tyranny of governments; and
  
  Whereas, The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States clearly states that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” But the right to keep and bear arms entails responsible gun ownership, including universal background checks for all gun purchasers, mandatory trigger locks and/or gun safes in all houses where children under 18 reside, and the right to remove guns from individuals with an extreme “red flag” personal protection order filed against them; and
  
  Whereas, The Michigan Legislature will not pass laws that would infringe upon the ability of Michigan residents to own and keep firearms, except as provided for in this resolution. The Michigan Legislature will ensure that legislation in violation of our constitutional right to bear arms will not be imposed upon the citizens of Michigan by either the federal government or itself and would view such infringements as violations of both the Second Amendment and the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 ; now, therefore, be it
  
  Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we reaffirm the right of Michigan residents to keep and bear arms under the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963 and the Constitution of the United States .
  
  The motion did not prevail and the substitute (H-4) was not adopted, a majority of the members serving not voting therefor.
