Senator Gary Peters joined former congresswoman Gabby Giffords on her tour of gun safety.
Peters is calling for a universal background check on every gun owner and anyone who purchases a gun.
The senator says he is a gun owner and recognizes everyone right to bare arms but says this background check will help stop violence.

"Where these checks are in place it prevents these senseless, needless tragedies from occurring and I believe this has to be a bipartisan issue this is not a partisan issue, this is not a blue issue or a red issue this is about us coming together in a bipartisan way," Peters said.
According to Gabby Giffords eight and ten Michigan voters support universal background checks.
Peters says he knows Michiganders love hunting and this background check will make sure guns stay in safe hands.
The senator says this is a fight long fought and needs to get done.
