    1. @Darren McDonald Thanks for the answer. Personally, I’d prefer the concealed carry kind of req’ts (need a reason and proper training) PLUS some kind of background/psych assurance, but I guess *the people of MI approved of that policy. And if you can carry into a bank….*

    2. @William McCroskey hypotheticals that could happen that could happen are a whole lot different that then what’s really happening in our street and it’s not by those concealed and carry people. Woulda Coulda Shoulda

    3. @William McCroskey not to mention the fact that I would walk into a ballot boost with 50 black lives matter protesters right out front I might be a little nervous but I would still write down Donald Trump for president because it isn’t like I’m going to walk out of the voting booth and say I just voted Donald Trump for president. They don’t follow you inside the vote so how do they intimidate you

    4. @janeen harris do they follow you into the voting booth and how do they attach it intimidate you if they don’t know who you vote for? Please fill me in

    5. @Billy Pardew you think I’m joking about the man who was shot dead in the gun shop? No its actually true read about it online.

      Why do these spams always happen at midnight for me

    1. @Water Snake I never said that and we all voted early so you guys are making up nonsense for nonsense reasons. Morons, you actually thought what I would not shut you down? When have I failed?

    2. @Darren McDonald any different brushed in the protesters are painting the police. One bad cop kills one criminal and all the police are the bad guys now and you’re burning and looting our cities over it is that not true or what oh and I suppose if you look hard enough you’ll find where one concealed and carry person Somewhere In A Country a 350 million people has went off and shot someone I still think my odds are better with those concealed and carry then it is with those so-called peaceful protesters

    3. @KungFlu BatSoup you called someone a liar. Accused them of not living in Michigan. Claimed you knew everyone in Michigan agree with carrying guns at polling stations. Your words. Others including myself challenged you on your statement. Most people do not see a reason or purpose other than intimidation for a group of militia nuts to think they’re some kind of authorized power to do who knows what polling stations where people are voting. The entire open carry nonsense has turned into a mindless idiocy. A bunch of low IQ people dressing up in some Rambo movie costume loaded up with weapons as if they’re in a Rambo war, thinking they’re the guardians of what? It’s comical

    4. @Billy Pardew it’s not one bad cop, it’s a cop culture of thinking laws don’t apply to them and that the badge, gun, blueline brotherhood and police unions shield them from accountability. As for protestors those protesting are not the ones committing vandalism, but the protests bring out criminals (arsonists, thieves, thugs) who take advantage of the opportunity to commit crimes.
      You tube is full of videos of abusive police brutality just as there are of vandals and thieves. People are people regardless of profession. Bad doctors, lawyers, cops, plumbers, painters, mechanics, etc.

    1. That’s your Republican state legislature at work, the Supreme Court never went beyond conceal carry and restrictions in places like schools or bars. This court is saying you have to trust the person with an assault rifle because the vast majority harm no one. I don’t see what argument could be made about an parent entering a grade school to handle something with their rifle, if you have to trust someone at a polling place you should trust them at a grade school what’s the difference.

  1. WTF is happening to our country? who in their right mind would make it OK to have firearms at a polling place? REALLY!? WHY!?

    1. Voter suppression. Because the ones open carrying firearms at a polling station are not likely to help elect a democrat.

    2. Andrew, not sure but honestly I think it would be the gun you didn’t see out in the open that you have to worry about. Just thinking if you just want to go shoot people, you don’t have to gain acceptance or have everyone see you!

    1. Imagine how few of these armed creatures are competent and intelligent. If they were competent and intelligent, they would need guns to protect themselves from their irrational fears.

    1. @Mario Lopez unless you’re black. Then they do (for the most part since republicans get single digit black vote typically)

  2. they are doing everything to keep that mad man trump in office now I hope the world can see the true face of the USA in 2020

  3. People go out and vote !! That’s why they have guns to scare
    That’s all they have always done
    Don’t allow Trump to win
    If this is how he wins: what do
    You think they will do to take control of America . Dictator
    For sure get this thang out of
    Office now. He is evil and full of
    Hate and all poor people will
    Be treat bad . White ,Black Brown, Red any race. He will use
    Who or what he can to not go
    To prison

    1. And who are not so universally disliked by their staff that no one tells them they have tp stuck to their shoe.

  4. We may be living in the End Times.
