We have two articles to highlight today on the subject of the failed Minnesota gun ban. The first comes from Mike McDaniel at the American Thinker entitled Minnesota fails to ban (assault weapons (sic)). McDaniel points out that:
...Suffice it to say, no government that disarmed its people ever did so for altruistic and benevolent reasons. Just ask the Iranians or Cubans.
McDaniel starts off his post with:
There are several blue states that have extinguished themselves by going full Communist/Islamist. Never go full Communist/Islamist. The big three are California, Illinois and New York, but Minnesota, under soon to be ex-governor Tampon Tim Walz, is vying for the number one spot in that pantheon of lunatic anti-Americanism.
The Minnesota Senate is barely in the hands of Democrats while the House is evenly split, with the Speaker of the House a Republican largely due to Democrats getting caught cheating in the 2024 election. As with the big three and every other blue state, there are certain articles of faith. Arguably the most important among them is that Normal Americans—largely but not exclusively Republicans—must be disarmed, not only within their Communist/Islamist states, but everywhere. They understand that unless and until they can disarm Normal Americans, their utopian state, a tyranny of the majority, can never be realized.
That is what all the fuss is about. The so-called "Democrats" don't care about criminals with guns, or they wouldn't routinely let them out to rob and murder again. No, what they care about is YOU, the law-abiding gun owner. You scare them because they want, indeed they can almost taste it, complete power over you and how you live. It has been tried and failed before, most notably in the old Soviet Union. There the "citizens" were told where to work, where to live, what they could buy right down to what foods they could buy. Anyone who understands human nature knows this kind of control will fail.
A similar article, though more passionate, is After Failing to Pass a Radical Gun Control Bill, a Minnesota Democrat Responded With Violence at Townhall.com by Amy Curtis. Curtis points out that no matter how many gun control bills are already on the books, Democrats believe that one more will magically make us safer. But the fact that Democrat prosecutors and judges seem not to throw the book at felons in possession, even they don't believe it. This makes you wonder what these Democrats really want.
Democrats will never cease in their efforts to strip us of our Second Amendment rights. Any time there is a mass shooting, they trip over themselves to get in front of a microphone to demand more gun control laws. It doesn't matter that there are countless gun control laws on the books already — laws Democrats refuse to enforce — they insist more gun laws will magically make us 'safer.'
The reality is they won't. Last month, former Virginia Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax killed his estranged wife and himself in a murder-suicide. Fairfax was a proponent of gun control, including red flag laws that weren't followed as Fairfax's marriage fell apart and reports of increased drinking were apparently known. In Massachusetts, Judge Janet Sanders gave Boston career criminal Tyler Brown only five years after Brown — a man with a 20-year history of crimes, including firearms charges — tried to shoot two Boston police officers. Sanders admitted she was 'taking a risk' on Brown because law enforcement told her he was dangerous. Last week, Brown used a rifle to open fire on a Massachusetts road, critically wounding two commuters. And in Fairfax County, VA, Prosecutor Steve Descano released illegal alien Marvin Morales Ortez, dropping gun charges against him.
This reality doesn't matter to Democrats, because their goal is to take guns away not from criminals, but from law-abiding citizens. And when they don't get their way, they get nasty and violent, as Minnesota State Rep. Aisha Gomez did after a radical gun control bill failed to pass.
...snip...
Democrats accuse gun owners and Republicans of fomenting gun violence, but the reality is far different. At the drop of a hat, Democrats are willing to engage in violence when they do not get their way politically. Their accusations are really confessions, as Gomez once again demonstrated here. They know their Republican opponents are not violent; they wouldn't say such abhorrent things if we were.
Please go and read both articles. Understand that they could care less about the criminal element. The real target of these gun control laws is the law-abiding citizen.
