The images of screaming, ranting protesters, some of them armed to the teeth as they raged in the Michigan state Capitol against the state’s COVID-19 lockdown order, was more than disturbing. It was frightening.
The guns, carried legally by people apparently beyond fed up with the hard-hit state’s lockdown, seemed unnecessary, carried as tools of intimidation and threat. Whatever the protest started out to be, it degenerated into bullying at its finest as the Michigan Legislature, just feet away, debated extending Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s lockdown.
Furious people. Guns. Close quarters. Cops. What possibly could have gone wrong?

| I have rarely read such cloistered, rank paranoia. I'm amazed that this is an Alaskan readership. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
