"Authorities in Lansing, Michigan, are seeking felony-level sexual assault and weapons charges against Republican State House Rep. Neil Friske, according to records obtained by The Detroit Free Press.

The 62-year-old lawmaker was arrested in the wee hours of Thursday morning after he allegedly 'chased an adult dancer after a disagreement' while in possession of a firearm. Ingham County Prosecutor John Dewane’s office told the Free Press that law enforcement responded to reports of an armed male 'as well as possible shots that were fired.' Law enforcement learned 'of a possible sexual assault of an adult female' in their response."

So, are we to understand that the GOP now considers armed sexual assault as an expression of one's 2nd Amendment rights?
