Heavily Armed Protesters Gather Again At Michigan Capitol To Decry Stay-At-Home Order Enlarge this image toggle caption Gregory Shamus/Getty Images Gregory Shamus/Getty Images Updated at 12:09 p.m. ET Despite heavy rain, armed protesters gathered Thursday at the State Capitol in Michigan in what the organizing group, Michigan United for Liberty, has branded "judgment day." On Monday, the Democratic attorney general issued an opinion saying the appointed body had the authority to do so and warned against a "powder keg dynamic" created by heavily armed protesters. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey later called the notion of a gun ban "cowardly" in a floor speech, calling for protesters who are threatening on Thursday to be arrested by state police.
