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.
Republicans tripped over each other to enact gun control when they saw organized and arm black people excersiding their right to bare arms.
It feels like 70% of US laws and agencies were motivated by racism and oppression of minorities.
