Summary
White supremacist Avi Rachlin used racist slurs during a Michigan Senate committee hearing, claiming proposed gun legislation unfairly targets white people while suggesting lawmakers focus on Black communities in Detroit.
Representing the extremist group “Groypers for America,” Rachlin falsely argued the bill was retaliation against white Trump supporters.
His comments, including the use of the N-word, were condemned by lawmakers, with Sen. Jim Runestad calling the remarks inappropriate.
The committee ultimately advanced the bill, which would expand the ban on firearms in Michigan’s Capitol, initially requested after armed protests in 2020.
“It is racial because the people who carry in the Capitol are primarily white people“
Because the black ones are accosted and harassed if they’re armed? Something I heard a long time ago was that whites fear becoming a minority because they know how minorities are treated. I just find it odd that they use that as a reason to obsessively cling to power instead of trying to make everyone’s lives better.
Back in 2020, Democratic lawmakers requested a change to firearm regulations in the Capitol when armed demonstrators and militia members went into the building demanding an end to COVID-19.
Funny how gun laws and gun restrictions are okay when it comes to protecting lawmakers, but not okay when it comes to protecting schoolchildren.
Weird, because historically gun control happens when white people get scared a black man has the same rights as them.
Just ask Dredd Scott v Sanford , or Ronald Reagan.
This scum doesn’t deserve to exist anymore.
White person from MI here. I don’t want anyone to have easy access to guns, especially white people. And I don’t want them to be allowed where peaceful protests happen. Armed protestors are not protesting they are intimidating.
