Who voted for these azzwholes in the first place?
people get the government they deserve....now they're there how do you un-do them?
Sounds like quite a mess, no one has addressed the mental health issues or the illegal gang violence with these laws.... only gonna affect the law abiding citizens!

[Bawanna]

Minnesota added to the list of places not to visit or live.......check.

My the list is growing very fast.

Cuda, what are the chances of this passing?

[les strat]

Beat, tar & feather them. That's what you guys need to do.

The state of Minnesota tilts left, but often has had quite a few Republicans in office at both state & national level.

In fact, until the last election, both houses of the MN Legislature were controlled by the Republicans, although with a loony Dem as governor, and thus the current panic could not have happened.

Then the MN Republicans unwisely put 2 constitutional change initiatives on the ballot (one to prohibit gay marriage, and one requiring photo ID to vote). Opposition to those issues, plus the general Obama tidal wave, caused huge Dem turnout in the election that put the Dems totally in control of the state - and just at the wrong time, given the Newtown incident.

I think that one-party rule - regardless of which party - is a bad thing because there is nobody to rein in the extremists, who exist in both parties.

One can only hope that the citizens of MN will feel such revulsion over what the Dems are doing in this legislative session that they will throw the bums out over it in the next election - meanwhile hoping that not too much permanent damage occurs.

[AIRret]

Cuda, maybe you should move.
Does MN have a strong 2nd amendment group?
This will be devastating if it goes through, and may lead to a domino effect on other States controlled by the left.
No Grandfather claws,......unbelievable!

your State Firearms Association needs to inform the legislators that they intend to file suit against the State should any of these provisions be signed into law as they are in violation of the State Constitution. A States Bill of Rights cannot not be in conflict with the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The second amendment gives you the right to keep and bear arms and that individual right has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Relatively good new news in the liberal-leaning state of Minnesota:

"Bans on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines are virtually off the table in the gun control debate at the Minnesota Legislature."

And this is despite the fact that Minnesota is the place where Obama flew at great expense to make his case for gun control.

As reported earlier, a bunch of liberal state legislators had teed up a set of very restrictive bills that were copies of the draconian NY legislation, but then reality set in:

Yes, that is somewhat good news, but the fight to make citizens slaves will continue. If I want to sell a firearm to my buddy, the govt can kiss my ass.

The anti's have learned that what they cannot get nationally they will get part if not all of locally. Sadly it is the wave of the future. Divide and conquer.

[downtownv]

We're fighting this fight. We have a meeting the the Big Tuna Chris Christie. The senate is not in agreement with the Legislature's bills. That's good!
Get folks to join your 2a Organization. and show up for everything!

I live in MN and I personally write over two dozen e-mails per day both national and local. Send notes with your thoughts in the title because they file them that way. Use every e-mail address and alias you have.
