Credit Grand Traverse County Board of Commissioners
Ron Clous, vice chair of the Grand Traverse County Board of Commissioners, showed off a rifle as a constituent voiced concerns about guns during a virtual meeting Wednesday.
During the public comment period, a resident expressed concerns that members of the Proud Boys, a far-right group with a history of violence in the state, had attended a previous meeting.
The group came to show support for a resolution the board eventually passed on the Second Amendment.
“I can certainly appreciate people wanting to have their gun rights protected,” she said. “But ... permission has been given to these activist groups to do more with their guns than go out hunting.”
