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 |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
