Two gun bills making their way through the Minnesota legislature are raising concerns among some in the law and law enforcement community.
One of the bills would do away with permit to carry. The other would redefine self-defense laws. Nearly every person who testified for over two hours on Wednesday about the two gun bills was against them, including the police chiefs association and the county attorneys association.
Both the committee room and the overflow room a floor above were filled to capacity with both passionate opponents and power supporters. |

“If this bill passes, people who've never passed a criminal background check and never learned how to handle a gun safely would be able to carry one in public,” Olson said.
This ridiculous statement demonstrates the effectiveness of brainwashing.
How anybody could not possibly see the holes in this 'logic' is befuddling.
1) Criminals don't GAF about laws - ANY laws.
2) 99% of the people to whom he refers are average Joes just like him, so to extrapolate his 'logic', he wouldn't even trust himself without a permit and/or training.
Sad. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
