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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
