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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
