Oh no! Not the death threat meme again.

Michigan “official” doesn’t know the laws of the state he supposedly serves.

“Brandishing” has particular legal meaning.
Holstered/slung/shouldered is not “brandishing”.
“Brandishing” without due cause is, of itself, cause for arrest.

It is utterly amazing how cheap government officials consider the citizens rights to be.

(A)nyone brandishing them in such a way as to intimidate or threaten anyone else should be properly handcuffed, properly taken in and fingerprinted.
Shirkeys language is not very clear. It seems to leave things open to subjective interpretation by saying in such a way as to intimidate, stepping outside what the legal meaning would stipulate for the word brandish.

The Great Unwashed need to have their place in society impressed upon them. By force if necessary.

The ironic thing is that people are 100’s of thousands of times more likely to be injured or worse in traffic accidents or road rage incidents getting to and from these rallies then they are facing the business end of a firearm.

anyone can claim intimidation just seeing something even though its legal to display or be seen with said something

Brandishing involves pointing or threatening with a weapon. I'm sure an expansion of that meaning is going to be used.
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.
That is what it is coming to.

“The warnings come after several members of the groups planning on attending the rally called for the assassination of Governor Gretchen Whitmer”
Oh, is THAT what they call a Reichstag fire these days?

How can they tell the difference between brandishing and just carrying?
