Sen. Virgil Smith (D-MI) represents parts of Detroit, Dearborn and all of Allen Park. As a Democrat, it should come as no surprise that he is rated at 0% by the Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Ownership.
Smith has voted anti-gun since taking office in the House of Representatives back in 2003 to 2008, and now as a state senator.
The NRA rated Smith "D" regarding his voting on gun rights, which translates to 21% overall.
He voted "nay" on SB 59 bill that: "Expands Areas Where Concealed Weapons are Authorized," and voted "nay" on SB 789 that "Amends Firearm Licensing Procedures," that makes obtaining a license easier but with more training.
He did, however, vote "yea" on H-1 Self-Defense/Deadly Force Bill.
So why was a shotgun fired in his home today, and where did the Senator go?
Police believe he fired a shotgun after a having a fight with his ex-wife-girlfriend. Nobody was injured in the shooting because the slugs missed the woman but hit her 2015 Mercedes Benz. She is a prominent Ann Arbor businesswoman.
It's unclear if the misses were intended or if Smith's marksmanship sucks.
Sen. Smith lives on Detroit's northwest side and is serving a second term as state senator in Michigan's 4th Senate District. He received the Man of Excellence Award by the Michigan Chronicle in 2014 and was named Legislator of the Year by the Michigan Bankers Association last year as well.
Detroit police are looking for him at this time and no arrest has been made.
