Hundreds of volunteers with the Minnesota chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and gun survivors from the Everytown Survivor Network rallied at the Capitol on Tuesday to urge lawmakers to reject gun bills filed this session. The committee hearing on the bills is scheduled for Wednesday. H 238 and S 292 would make Minnesota only the second new Stand Your Ground state since 2011. Stand Your Ground laws remove the duty to retreat before using force in self-defense. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
