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

.... Seriously? How about; because it is The Right of We The People to Bear Arms.

Don’t the police bring guns?

I do not think “bad optics” were worried about during the late eighteenth century.

Given the state of technology these days, it is nearly impossible to make an actual death threat against a high government official without being caught.

I MIGHT believe that Wretched Witless received many ACTUAL death threats when the perpetrators are paraded in front of the news cameras as they are being hauled into jail pending trial.

Until then, I’m gonna assume that they are lying about the death threats for their own purposes.

Notice how Antifa fails to show up when our side is armed?

Notice how the police stay within their Constitutional boundaries when they are aware that they are out-gunned 100 to 1?

The warnings come after several members of the groups planning on attending the rally called for the assassination of Governor Gretchen Whitmer which saw one man writing: “Can we please just take up a collection for an assassin to put that woman from Michigan down.”

No doubt someone on the left posted that to give the dems an excuse to make criminals out of law abiding citizens.

"On Monday, Whitmer said she respected people’s rights to protest"

Only if it's something she agrees with.

1. It’s legal.

2. A right not exercised, like a muscle, will waste away.

3. It is a visual reminder of the right of abolition and replacement of the guardians of our security as specified in the Declaration of Independence (the sentence begins “But when a long train of abuses...”).

I could continue, but I’m “essential” (machining motorcycle parts!) and off to work in a few. Someone else may pick it up from here if so inclined.

‘What an incredibly screwed - up state?’

no worse than PA; both are awash in large city and college age dems...and I predict both going blue this election; last time around Trump caught lightning in a bottle, this time the electorate has changed, and he will be under intense pressure...

We are literally reliving the 1930s experienced in Germany. These horrible democrats want to control and kill you using government.

Please continue to fight back, folks.

I ask the same thing... as well as why the Trump flags. It is a lockdown protest. the group could get a shit load of democrat support if they didnt make it look like a trump rally. my daddy used to say... if you insist on hitting yourself in the head with a hammer, dont come complaining to me when you have a head ache...

Why? So when the fascist bimbo sick’s her state JBTs on the people to make them comply, the people can defend themselves.

She’s a democRAT - you know she wants to.

Protestors in Michigan planning to rally at the state Capitol on Thursday are being warned that if they bring firearms to the event they will be arrested.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Whine, whine, whine and then whine. Worry about something worthwhile. Something like halitosis on elevators. And keep your hands off of the God-given, Constitutionally recognized rights. You remember them, do you not, things called the right to peacefully assemble, petition the government for redress of grievances. And the right to keep and bear arms. Get a life.
