Mai's lawyer clarified the situation, stating, "It is essential to clarify that Ms. Jenkins’ insistence on reasonable safety measures being put in place. Such as safely securing and locking away all firearms that have been unsecured in the past. As well as having familiarity and properly trained caregivers is absolutely not gatekeeping. But rather a responsible effort to prioritize their daughter’s well-being." The legal documents further elaborate on the nature of Mai's requests. Emphasizing that they stem from a sincere desire to ensure the safety and security of their daughter. Particularly when she is under the care of others or traveling across the country, Mai seeks what her legal team deems as reasonable protective measures.
