Today's The Day?

Today is very likely the day the Minnesota Personal Protection Act will be debated on the floor of the Senate.

Keep your calls to your Senators going. As far as this session goes, today is likely for all the marbles.

One of the problems is the number of poison-pill amendments that the likes of Wes "Lying Sack Of Filth" Skoglund attached to the bill in committee. There should be enough votes to remove the amendments - but again, you need to be contacting your Senator.

Joel Rosenberg discusses one of the amendments:

Right now, the argument -- offstage, although very noisy -- is over fingerprinting of permit applicants. For those who have ever, say, been in the military, it's unnecessary (all military folks are fingerprinted). For those who have never been so much as accused of a crime, it's insulting.

Me, I don't much care, on a personal basis -- I've offered to let Senator Steve Kelley fingerprint me, if he's willing to (quite literally) get his hands dirty doing so (he's yet to either take me up on the offer or decline it; I've made the same offer to Skogie, via Senator Kelly) -- but I very much do care about the precedent of fingerprinting people simply because they wish to exercise a right. If we're going to fingerprint people, let's start with those wishing to exercise a privilege: apply for a drivers license, receive welfare or get a government job of any sort, hold a Realtor's or Series 6 license, serve in the legislature or on any town or city council, etc., etc.

And then, after that, let's talk about fingerprinting people simply because they want to exercise their rights.

What do you think the DFL would say if we fingerprinted the homeless? People seeking abortions? People signing up for social services?

None of those are spelled out in the Constitution.

I wish I could be there for the hearings today.

It might be some backdoor way of making the master list of permit holders more public--something the opponents have been trying to do. How hard is it to search for the names of Minnesota people with fingerprints on file? I don't know. As I understand it, the list of permit holders is not public right now. The opponents obviously want it public so that they can discriminate against permit holders.

In the time that we had the MPPA that got struck down, has any permit holder EVER been convicted of using a weapon to commit a violent crime? Of course not, because we would be hearing about it every single day from our worthy nannies at the Star Tribune. I always laugh when I see the "no guns allowed" signs at malls or other places(interestingly, my church doesn't have one!). I'm sure the career criminals take those signs to heart and return all their weapons to the bus or train they rode in on.

I just realized, the problem in Iraq: not enough "NO CAR-BOMBS ALLOWED" signs.

Today's also the day we got the BRAC list. Not looking good for Duluth after it first looked like they would make it in the clear...read more here:
