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

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

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

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

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
