TIME SENSITIVE: Urge Capitol Commission to Ban Weapons in State Capitol
By MUUSJN on Sunday, January 10th, 2021
Dear Justice Activists:
TIME SENSITIVE! Urge Capitol Commission TODAY to Ban Weapons in Michigan’s State Capitol!
The Michigan Capitol Commission will be meeting Monday (tomorrow) at 1 p.m. to make a decision about a policy of no longer allowing open carry weapons to be brought into the Michigan State Capitol. A group called Michigan Resistance sent an alert and I’m forwarding information from this alert to you. They would like not only for the Commission to end a policy of open carry of guns in our state capitol, but also would oppose bringing into the “people’s house” concealed weapons. NOTE: Capitol rules now block bringing signs into the capitol, but not guns!
This was a key concern on January 6th when a mob of people attacked the U.S. Capitol in Washington DC. Some of these insurgents were carrying guns and some brought pipe bombs to disrupt Congress’s voting to confirm the results of the 2020 election.
CALL OR EMAIL THE COMMISSION TODAY!
The Michigan Capitol Commission is meeting this Monday at 1 p.m. in an “emergency session” to consider banning open carry of weapons, but continuing to permit concealed weapons. It is vital that ALL weapons be prohibited in our State capitol and grounds.
To express your concern over the urgency of this decision, YOU WILL NEED TO EMAIL THE COMMISSIONERS BY THIS SUNDAY NIGHT. They should also be urged to require metal detectors at all public entrances of the capitol and should order an independent third party to review security practices and procedures. PLEASE HELP PREVENT VIOLENCE BY EMAILING THE COMMISSIONERS.
