The Tree of Liberty doesn’t like being thirsty....

First they want to enforce house arrest for all the people in the state who are not sick. Now they want to arrest all the armed people in the state who did not threaten state officials. Whatever will they do next?

[The_Media_never_lie]

Why bring a gun to this rally? What is the purpose?

Well, technically, BRANDISHING is, holding and displaying in a threatening manner. IE, displaying a weapon in a manner so as to imply, back off or you’re in trouble. Carrying is, self-explanatory.

I think its time to drop party labels, and refer to those either on the side of the State, and those on the side of the People.

Sir, that is correct!

[hal ogen]

What an incredibly screwed - up state? Are all of the “leaders “ there fascist buffoons ? Just askin ‘ for a friend .

[proud American in Canada]

Shirky? As in shirk your responsibility? Oh yes he’s done that.

But more than that...the Michigan governor really made an incredibly stupid decision in preventing people from buying home and gardening supplies.

It’s springtime, woman, and people want, no, they need to be outside, in the fresh air and sunshine, planting their gardens.

These gardens are important. Fresh fruit
important for low-income people, who can grow their own fresh vegetables and fruits in community gardens; for seniors who can do the same. They can garden, with assistance, perhaps.

But people need fresh fruit and vegetables, people of all incomes.

You’re an idiot Governor Whitmer.

*hope I’m posting on the right thread, about Michigan?*

Hey, Wit-less:

This is my rifle.
This is my gun.
This one’s for fightin’
This one’s for fun.

Dear governess,

Extreme tyranny generates extreme rhetoric.

[proud American in Canada]

“Fresh fruit” should read: fresh fruit and vegetables.

[Lisbon1940]

Ok, thanks. Hope they don’t brandish.

[ConservativeInPA]

They are exercising their rights. Two at the same time. These days carrying a weapon is a form of free expression- free speech. It also reminds the state that there are a hell of a lot of weapons in the hands of free citizens and they want to stay that way. Plus, just the sight of a black weapon makes pencil necked liberals piss their pants in fear. They’re all racists, you know.

In the case of our Tyrannical Trannie Secretary of "Health" its because she/he/it can't figure our which restroom to use.

On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey said that despite a longstanding rule that Michiganders with permits can bring weapons into the Capitol, “anyone brandishing them in such a way as to intimidate or threaten anyone else should be properly handcuffed, properly taken in and fingerprinted.

[Lisbon1940]

Lotta liberals can’t tell about brandishments. Ot blandishments either.

[jospehm20]

No kidding. Simply openly carrying is not brandishing.

[elcid1970]

Am I the only one who notices that Gov Whitmer’s name can be rendered as “Whitler”, reflecting her fascistic tendencies?

[cherry]

I wish they wouldn’t bring guns....its a bad optic....

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Give a Democrat/leftist a dime and they automatically call in a “threat” to their own. /sarc
