Let’s strengthen our democracy by keeping citizens safe from criminals brandishing firearms in public spaces. Why is Representative Lee Chatfield @voteleechatfield the only politician to have protection? #EnforceBrandishingLawMI
Speaker Chatfield posted State Police at the door of his office. John Truscott said they used their weapons to intimidate lawmakers. Leader Shirkey said they used “intimidation and the threat of physical harm to stir up fear” #EnforceBrandishingLawMI
Gun-carrying demonstrators violated our community by invading our state Capitol, displaying firearms, & threatening the legislators. They violated Michigan law - it is against the law to display a firearm in a threatening manner. Protect the public. #EnforceBrandishingLawMI
Our politicians deserve a safe place while they work to save Michigan lives. Criminals brandishing firearms threaten our governmental process and people. Protesters who instill fear must be held accountable. Call Representative Maddock @StateRepMaddock and tell him to call off his posse of haters. #EnforceBrandishingLawMI
The Michigan Capitol is a public space. School children visit, and our lawmakers and staff work there. Gunners at the State Capital brandish firearms, intimidating the public and workers. It’s illegal for these men to brandish firearms. We must enforce brandishing laws and arrest the men who brandish their firearms and threaten our lawmakers and the public. #EnforceBrandishingLawMI
A strong democracy requires a safe Michigan Capitol, yet protesters brandish firearms and instill fear in people which violates Michigan law. It’s illegal and wrong - they should be arrested. #EnforceBrandishingLawMI

In a peaceful community, you expect the law to be obeyed. These are the rules that allow a community, and you, to work productively. And you rely upon others to ensure that laws are obeyed - the leaders of the community and, importantly, the police. #EnforceBrandishingLawMI
