Escalating violence as armed protests planned in all 50 state capitals

[Rev. Rye]

Our MAGA governor's statements on guns at the upcoming protest.

Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts said during his Tuesday news conference that he would not prohibit the carrying of weapons in the state Capitol because of the second amendment. Ricketts said the Nebraska Capitol building would remain open next week despite FBI warnings of potential threats at all 50 state capitals and Washington, D.C. surrounding the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. The governor said no ban on guns in the state Capitol would be considered, answering twice that it was a violation of the 2nd Amendment. “It’s a Constitutional right, the second amendment,” he said.

Encouraging peaceful protests, the governor did acknowledge that Nebraska has an open-carry law. “Please protest peacefully. Also, be thoughtful there are people here who are nervous when you bring your guns out, so be thoughtful of that as well.”

Stay home that day, bud. It's likely to get stupid.
