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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
