Michigan officials are saying protesters that are brandishing a firearm in an "intimidating" manner will be arrested. I love how they make it about the feelings of the government officials and not about the acts and intentions of the people exercising their rights.
I don't think it's okay for people to joke online about wanting to have a governor assassinated, but I also wouldn't be surprised if some of those comments were planted. Even if they were credible threats, that doesn't give them the right to take away the people's rights. It's not the right to keep arms at home where they can't intimidate someone. It's the right to keep and bear arms. Hell, part of the reason our founding fathers gave us the 2nd amendment was to strike fear into our government and remind them from time to time of our spirit of resistance.
