to provide a coherent narrative to accompany those photos. It still seems surreal and we're actually living through it.

As a responsible gun owner I have them for a task.

Right now they are safely locked up.

But to the OP. This is the ultimate trolling of the right wing nuts. They fear Black men with guns more than anything and this lady knows it. You won’t hear many of the standing up and congratulating her for having these men exercise their ‘god given right’ to defend her.

Good for her.

Although I also assume she knows this will make it more likely that the republicans in the Michigan legislature vote to make carrying them at the statehouse illegal.

Can’t have black folks walking around with guns, you know. Scare the good white people.

Hope it not necessary, but...
