Demonstrators waved Confederate flags and Trump campaign banners on the lawn outside the capitol building

Tom Lambert, former president of Michigan Open Carry, addressed the crowd."Whether you decide to open carry or concealed carry, that is your choice. It is not my job to make that decision for you," M Live quoted him as saying."It is not their job to make that decision for you either."

"We were elected to work for our constituents, and this is preventing us from doing that. Ban guns from the Capitol now."Similar protests were staged earlier in the year when Demonstrators carrying guns hold a rally in front of the Michigan state capital building to protest the governor's stay-at-home order on May 14, 2020 in Lansing, Michigan. Governor Gretchen Whitmer imposed the order to curtail the spread of the coronavirus Covid-19.Michigan Senate Democrats tweeted earlier this week that"legislators, staff, children & teachers shouldn't have to fear guns in the Capitol.

Conservatives are weak cowards

TreesJustice What exactly are the guns for?

Small dick squadron

THIS. THIS is Trumps America.

This is how the Nazis carried on. This is Not Real Democracy. This is just Division, Intimidation and Hatred dressed up as Democracy. Disgraceful.

People must keep their rights at any cost!!! If the COMMIES/DEMOCRATS/FOREIGN AGENTS( SOROS + Gates etc....) want to take over... let them pay de price!!!! Go to their houses.... Americans don’t know what’s cooking up...

Time to call out the National Guard and get these lunatics off the streets

Activist, huh?

State Police should stand their ground and shoot to kill if threatened.

Muricans 😂😂😂

Is that dude dragging the flag on the ground and holding it in the middle?

Trump supporters 🤯🙄🤮

- Haven't caused mass property damage - Haven't beaten anyone for their political ideology - Haven't surrounded or harassed anyone until they bent the ideological knee This are definitional peaceful protestors

ustooenough Bastards. Every single one of these insecure little men.

Thank you for quoting me. Even the conservative Detroit News has condemned guns in Michigan’s capitol.

Abusing 2A interpretations is a good way to lose those rights as a whole.

Where are trumps secret thugs now? Oh, they're right there. They just took off their masks. Peaceful protesters exercising their Constitutional rights get shot, gassed, beaten, and arrested while heavily armed activists surround a State Capitol and nothing!

Where is a tank when you need one? They would disperse fast or be flat as a pancake, otherwise.

These are your future tdomestic terrorists.

have the national guard or military take the trash down

Huh I see American flags being displayed, were good. I was worried if I saw Aunt-Tifa stuff.

OMG !!! Wheres the national guard

A real strong person doesn't need weapons to show strength or character and less joining a group trying to impose an image of strength, it needs to show that he/she can speak with the hearth and mind to communicate the real person they are. Militias are things from the past.

Terrifying.

Bunch of fine people

THIS IS WRONG! ArrestThemAll

WhereAreTheTaskForcesAttackingTheseGunToting LowerLevelHumans like the do Our Peaceful Protesters MyEmpathyIsStrongerThanYourSickness

VileVilliany

Where are the HeatRay and tanks plus Sedition charges for these traitors and DomesticTerrorists?

It's apparent that .GOP brand of 'law and order' is just straight up domestic terrorism

Many with no masks😔

Again? Is the National Guard on it’s way yet?

And interestingly no one was shot or harmed.

And of course, not a peep from trump.

When did this become ok?

Thank you for the reference ! xcited1 look at this. Their crazed with what?!!! What do they want?! I am asking for goodness sakes!!!!

Where are the so called decent cops now

So if protesting can be considered sedition per AG Barr, doesn't waving a defeated rebellious organization's flag (traitors by definition) also count as sedition?

Where's the National Guard? Where are the tear gas and the orders to disperse? These guys and their military-grade large-magazine human death machines with no training are way more dangerous than crowds throwing rocks and bottles. Please disperse this mob.

Terrorists

Call in the National Guard.

THIS IS FINE!

They want to play GI Joe, they should join a branch of our military.

Seems the Proud Boys are some half-baked neuvo version of Hitler’s Brown Shirts. Nazis. They need to be broken up and arrests need to be made. FascismIsHere FascistTrump DUMP THE FASCISTS! BidenHarris in 2020!!!

What a bunch of clowns.

Luckily for them they are white so no harm will come to them.

Armed sedition.

Where’s Trump’s law and order now? These right wing nut are the real threat to our republic (after Trump himself).

I bet nobody gets shot or businesses looted

Sure-- now they want to wear masks to hide their identity and their FalseGod aka Trump says NOTHING!

Domestic terrorist

Firearms shouldn’t be on the same grounds as lawmakers... period...it’s intimidation and disrupts the legislative process

Define 'heavily-armed' please.

I really don't understand why people in the US need to buy such rifles. It's like there is a war going on where knowone in the world is aware of. This is one off the reasons you have these mass shootings because it's available to buy. Ridiculous!!!

Bring out the national guard

They should make every state, federal and polling location a gun free area

Good for them.

terrorists

Get the heat rays!

Not patriots.

I own my guns for sport and self defense...not public intimidation or small dick enhancement

For Tea?

This is what realDonaldTrump wants. More death and violence. RepublicansForBiden

The weekend is here...The clowns are out in full force! 🤣🤣🤣

Activists or rioters? Oh wait, that only applies to BLM protestors.

For what?

but did they burn anything down or destroy property? Oh they just stood around ok, big story..

Right wing radical terrorists.

Tear gas 'em.

Shot them

Peaceful 2A activists don't need that kind of firepower and patriotic Americans don't need confederate flags.

mirabarhillel Welcome to America's second civil war.

Seems more serious than cardboard signs, spray cans and loud voices.

Yup, time to man up pilgrim, and get us some John Wayne society, red neck, trailer park trash.

If they were black what would happen?

DOMESTIC TERRORIST LOCK THEM UP FOR SEDITION PER BILL BARR

The NRA love those guys! 👎💩🤬

They are well equipped to start a civil war in US! Poor USA!

So? They didn't block the entrance or exit. It looks like that for the MSM 'surround a place' is worse than burning it down...

Anyone who considers this publication a “news organization” needs to learn what the word objective means. Why is one demonstration labeled “heavily-armed” but Portland is “peaceful protests”

Why can't you say radical white supremacist terrorist?

Domestic Terrorism. Pure and simple.

Male-menopause society meeting.

Depending on one’s political persuasion that may be a very good thing. I believe that suburbanites are more frightened of heavily armed right wing militia than BLM. There’s still memories of them storming the building.

Where’s the National Guard Now ?

I say call out the national guard & give them the choice of disband, or jail.... then see what ya got.

America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Unlike the liberal riots, there aren't burning down businesses.

Terrorist

Hard to believe their mothers let them out of the house looking like that.

Confederate flags in Michigan. SMH.

These are the terrorists that realDonaldTrump won't condemn. He would rather go after peaceful protesters.

Imagine the outrage from the president and his cult members if that had been a heavily armed BLM or ANTIFA group.

So are vigilantes replacing policemen. This is the answer to defunding the police. I think we're in bigger danger

Losers.. no doubt 90% of them never served in the armed forces, just living a PS3 modern warfare life

The cops had better be their up their assholes.

Oh, but they’re all perfectly fine people... It’s funny— they used to wear white hoods; now they refuse to wear a simple mask.

protest with GUN ? wow . 😳 If its possible in India, Then definitely we achieve 300 millions death by every year. 🤔 🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫

One thing that we can agree on, most gun owners would be terrible shots........very rarely attending a shooting range for practice sessions.

It goes without say, but I’ll say it anyway. Imagine the response in Conservative land if these were heavily-armed blacks.

We start to see first hand how Hitler and Mussolini came to power.

Why any citizen anywhere needs that type of weaponry I don’t get it how can that be legal ?

FAKE NEWS MEDIA 🤨(NEWSWEEK/STAFFERS !)

They attempting to start a Civil War before the election. Then Trump will declare martial law and abolish the election . I read the same books!

This is not a “well regulated militia.”

Cops probably got them some breakfast croissants and cocoa for them.

A show by men with small penis and even smaller brains Michigan

While their police pals chew donuts and grin
