Gretchen Whitmer and violently overthrow state government<\/a>:<br \/><br \/>\u201cI was shaken to my core the day armed gunmen casually stood over us in the Michigan Senate, taunting and intimidating us, and I am again shaken, beyond belief, by today\u2019s news. While we are thankful to the state and federal agencies involved in thwarting these verifiable threats against public servants, I cannot overstate how much we need to change now before there is a next time \u2014 because there will be one \u2014 and God forbid if there are children present when it happens.<br \/><br \/>\u201cThere has never been a clearer alert signal than today\u2019s news that we must ban guns from the state Capitol except for those used by law enforcement and our sergeants. This is not normal, and it is incumbent upon us to not just talk the talk but walk the walk. It is one thing to condemn these domestic terrorists, but it is another thing to take a stand for something and say, \u2018no more.\u2019 We need to liberate Michigan from threats of violence, and I implore the state Capitol Commission to reconsider a ban on guns in the Michigan State Capitol immediately before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Sen. Polehanki and her colleague, Sen. Rosemary Bayer (D-Beverly Hills) have introduced legislation to ban guns from the Capitol grounds except by the Michigan State Police and each chamber\u2019s Sergeants-at-Arms.
