State Senator Claire Celsi, D-West Moines, tweeted on Tuesday afternoon that “gun-toting protestors totally abused their privilege.” The first-term legislator responded to an article reporting that Michigan could consider a ban on weapons in the state capitol after some residents protesting Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home orders open carried weapons into the statehouse. |

This is par for the course for Sen. Celsi. On March 20, 2020, the Des Moines Register published my response to a series of anti-gun statistical distortions stated by Sen. Celsi in a prior opinion piece. My article is at: https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/columnists/iowa-view/2020/03/20/research-firearms-clear-guns-used-defense-deterrent/2874030001/
You can't count on Sen. Celsi for truth or accuracy on Second Amendment issues. She is strictly anti-gun. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
