“Gun makers are softening their image to ‘put a better face in front of people’ & ‘ramp up its appeal to women, children and members of minority groups,'” Igor Volsky, executive director of gun-control activist group Guns Down America, said in a tweet. Volsky, who is also a former vice president of the Center for American Progress, was commenting on a New York Times story about firearms marketing.
“That’s right,” Volsky continued. “Gun makers are increasingly advertising to WOMEN, CHILDREN & MINORITY COMMUNITIES. Firearm industry realizes that to survive into the future it must ‘broaden its reach beyond the aging white men who have been its core customers’—and so they’re now trying to sell their products to other demographics. This is incredibly dangerous.”
Imagine an executive in any other field bemoaning the diminished capacity of “WOMEN CHILDREN & MINORITIES” around any other product…
I”m an uncompromising proponent of 2nd Amendment rights.
And so it was with horror that I saw the MNGOP last week attacking the Dorr Brothers – the purveyors of “Minnesota Gun Rights”, as well as a pro-life and pro-Trump group – last week.
One could call it defamation – saying something untrue about someone, that’ll harm their reputation in the community, with malicious disregard for the facts.
I’ve publicly urged the Dorr Brothers (Facebook link and on the air) to take their case against the MNGOP to court, to lay the record out in public – the financial records proving their nonstop advocacy for gun rights – and forever shut down the allegationsthattheyare just a bunch of huckstersfleecing gullible Minnesotans with aggressive rhetoric (always aimed at pro-gun Republicans, almost never at anti-Gun Democrats.
I’m not sure if they took my advice and filed those papers yet.
But while I wait for word, I thought I’d point out the toll that this effort has taken on the Dorrs. They posted this yesterday:
Those personal attacks are really a sign of desperation.
Like this one, before the 2019 legislative session, aimed at Bryan Strawer and Rob Doar, the director and lobbyist for the MN Gun Owners Caucus, respectively.
Again. Here’s hoping the Dorrs take their case to court, and throw those books open, to defend their legacy of rigorous integrity.
The DFL’s two big gun grab bills – HF8 (Universal Gun Registration) and HF9 (Red Flag Confiscation Orders) are back for their second round in the biennium.
We expect the session to gavel in at 3:30 PM, but this may change.
IF YOU CAN MAKE IT, WE NEED YOU THERE.
WHERE: State Capitol – House Chamber (look for House Gallery entrance, 3rd floor)
WHEN: Arrive by 2:45PM to obtain a good seat. There is seating for around 80 people. There is a lot of standing room only space.
The bills will die in the Senate, of course. But it’s good that the House knows who’s really going to turn out this fall. There are a lot of mid-term DFLers from Trump districts who especially need to get the message.
The similarities in demographics in population between Virginia and Minnesota are inescapable. Both states are large, solid red expanses of land and people, surrounding small, densely populated democrat dominated Metropolitan areas.
And of course, both states have Democratic parties prone to going wild on orgies of spending and power grabbing whenever they get unfettered power. As the Democrats did in Virginia over the past year, driving a wave of “progressive” legislation pretty much across-the-board, but especially focusing on gun control.
And watching Virginia’s Democrats, it’s not hard to think that they might actually be a little bit calm and restrained compared to the ones we have in Minnesota, the party of Ryan Winkler and Alondra Cano and Melissa Melissa and Ilhan Omar.
It’s hard to imagine what that crew would stop at if they got unrestrained power Dash say, by flipping the Senate this fall, giving them raw, unfettered access to all the money and all the power.
This isn’t problem just for Second Amendment advocates, of course.
But Second amendment advocates are among the best organized to do something about it; I’ve been telling conservative groups for a decade that they need to learn something from the Second Amendment movement nationwide.
Four Minnesota counties – Clearwater, Marshall, Roseau and Wadena – have declared themselves “sanctuaries” for the Second amendment (some choose the term “dedicated” to avoid confusion with immigration issue – the effect is entirely the same). It’s not just a symbolic statement; the resolutions include language about litigation against intrusive legislation, as well as well as demurrals from enforcing unconstitutional laws.. Resolutions have been introduced in three more counties – and probably a few dozen more have some degree of activity on the subject.
Yours could be one of them, if you live in Minnesota; in fact, you could be the one to get things going in your county. The Gun Owners Caucus has a list of resources right here, as well as a list of sanctuary/dedicated county groups around the state.
Because what better way to show the DFL; This Is What Power-Drunk Overreach gets you.
Has it only been four years that the “Reverend” Nancy Nord Bence took over as the ‘Executive Director” and one of about five actual “members” of “Protect” Minnesota?
Sometimes it seems like so much longer.
Even by Twin Cities “progressive” standards, the “Reverend” Nord Bence blazed a trail of intellectual and moral depravity in which she stood nearly alone.
Am I being hyperbolic?
Oh heavens no:
She accused the MN Gun Owners Caucus of inviting “White Supremacists” to speak at their annual rally (and this was before Big Left accused everyone of “white supremacy”)
She accused the Caucus of involvement in the firebombing of the Dar Al Farouk mosque.
LIed about the goings-on at the Senate hearings in HIbbing a few weeks ago
…and was basically such a font of fodder that not only did I give her her own permanent tag, but she was granted a nearly-personal category on this blog.
From that first day to today, the “Reverend” Nord Bence has never – not once – made a statement about guns, gun laws, gun owners, gun crime, or anything about the Second Amendment that is simultaneously substantial, original and true. Her constant “false witness” about her law-abiding fellow citizens should be regarded as an abomination by her erstwhile denomination, the ELCA.
I said “should”.
But all good, loathsome-yet-risible things must come to an end. The “Reverend” is picking up and moving along:
Now, if it’s like most posts on the “Protect” MN facebook page, there’d be a better than even chance the post would be wrong, and quickly retracted, even if it weren’t a lie.
But it’s apparently as legit as anything “Protect” MN ever actually writes. The “Reverend” is going to lend her, um, “talents” to getting Democrats elected.
There are only two things we can be sure of:
Any campaign she’s involved in, outside safe urban areas (and by “safe”, I mean both for the DFL and for matronly unarmed white women to walk around in), is doomed.
“Protect” MN will hire someone even more radical to replace Nord Bence.
Adios, Nancy. You are a liar, and you never packed the gear to stand up to a rational debate, but…
…well, that pretty much covers it. Swirl away down the soilpipe of history, you sad lying hag.
As we noted earlier this week, Roseau County became Minnesota’s first Second Amendment Sanctuary county.
And you just knew the “Reverend” Nancy Nord Bence wouldn’t take long for an…
…er…
…er, “interesting” take on the situation.
But she pretty much outdid herself on Twitter:
Local anti-gun group Protect Minnesota claims that the Rouseau County Commissioners were “bullied by the gun lobby” into establishing “basically organized lawlessness” when they voted to become Minnesota’s first Second Amendment Sanctuary County earlier this week.
The county commission was “bullied”? Huh. Sounds serious. Was there anything to “Protect” MN’s claim?
Sheesh. It’s the “Reverend” Nancy Nord Bence. We’ve been through this before, right?
A Roseau County Commissioner left a comment on “Protect” MN’s Facebook page:
Roseau County Commissioner John Horner replies in a comment to Protect Minnesota about their completely made-up, misinformed post that the “gun lobby” somehow “bullied” the Roseau County Commissioners into passing a Second Amendment “Sanctuary” declaration. pic.twitter.com/cj2vp9Qcc5
What concerns me here is this: leftists pretty much up and down the food chain, from Nancy Pelosi down to “Reverend” Nord Bence, have learned that their constituency just doesn’t do critical thinking. If they say something, they know there’s not going to be anyone catching them after the rally trying to check them on any of it.
BIg Left is building a legion of the invincibly ignorant.
And while it’s not working in Roseau County, the post about Roseau County wasn’t aimed at rural Minnesota. It’s aimed at trying to keep the hordes of people in the third ring suburbs who voted DFL terrified.
Senator Klobuchar, fresh off having a third-place finish in a decreasingly important primary hailed like the victory march in Paris by a local who has acted like her personal PR firm ever since they were all getting pass-out drunk with her father, has this to say about gun control:
During the first 2020 Democratic primary debate, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar said if there is a mandatory buyback, it would not involve gun confiscation.
“Gun confiscation, right, if the government is buying back, how do you not have that conversation?” moderator Chuck Todd asked.
“Well, that’s not gun confiscation because you give them the offer to buy back their gun,” Klobuchar said
Oh. It’s just a buyback.
OK. Not selling.
Now what?
They never answer this one directly, do they?
I may have to go to one of her “town halls” and ask her directly.
Oh, yeah – she said this:
“I look at these proposals and I say, ‘Does this hurt my uncle Dick and his deer stand?’ coming from a proud hunting and fishing state? These ideas don’t do that,” she added.
If her “Uncle Dick” is stupid enough to believe they won’t be coming for his precious dear rifle when, not if their current round of “gun safety” laws fail to make anyone safer, then Dick might just be a lifelong DFLer anyway.

Exhibit D-24662-F:
This is a tweet for for the founders of the gun violence prevention movement started centuries ago by almost entirely black, brown and indigenous lgbtq women and non binary people that never got on the news or in most history books.
The vision of gay slaves and Seminoles sitting in orange T-shirts and ELCA hair waving signs in safe white neighborhoods in Eagan, in 1820 (“centuries ago”) almost made me chuckle.
while the colonists and early citizens of the United States were well-armed and saw virtually no restrictions on what arms they could own or when they could carry or use them in a peaceful manner, this was not true for all inhabitants of the land. Many people of color were brought to this country as slaves, and as property, they had no rights. Furthermore, free persons of color and Native Americans were often prevented by law from owning firearms. Such gun control as Hogg champions would have hurt those fighting slavery. Abolitionists were highly unpopular and threatened with violence or worse. Rev. Elijah Parish Lovejoy, publisher of the abolitionist newspaper The Saint Louis Observer, was murdered by a pro-slavery mob who shot him before destroying his new printing press. Members of the Underground Railroad needed to protect themselves from law enforcement and bounty hunters enforcing fugitive slave laws, and so were often armed. The most famous example of these is Harriet Tubman, who carried a pistol for self defense while escorting runaway slaves to freedom. While the 14th Amendment eliminated some of this discrimination, many additional laws were passed to keep people of color, the poor, and other “undesirables” from owning or carrying arms as part of the many Jim Crow laws of the time. Some of these statutes have survived to the present day, such as the North Carolina Pistol Purchase Permit. It requires that an applicant be of “good moral character” despite the fact that “The term ‘good moral character’ is not defined in our statutes nor is there a case specifically on point as to what constitutes good moral character for purposes of a pistol purchase permit.”
Needless to say, being a person of color was ample reason to deny a permit under these circumstances. Most famously, in 1950 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, applied for an Alabama concealed-weapon permit after receiving death threats. He was, of course, denied. In the 1960s, California’s Mulford Act banned the open carry of firearms as a direct reaction to members of the Black Panthers patrolling minority neighborhoods while visibly armed.

Remember the gun buyback in Minneapolis in August of 2016? You wrote about it in a column entitled Buyback Diary. I sold a couple of guns, got six gift cards worth $25 each, issued by Sunrise Banks. I threw them in my range box for a rainy day. Money in the bank, right? Nope. Sunrise Banks charges a $5 fee per year. I just talked to the bank manager. The money is all gone. Should have read the fine print. I would say something profound, like “I won’t make that mistake again.” Except I no longer have any guns to sell, having sold those two and lost all the rest in that tragic canoe accident. Joe Doakes
Is there anything about that buyback (read the link) that didn’t turn into comedy gold?
There are only two real explantions for the DFL’s messaging on most issues – especially, but hardly limited to, 2nd Amendment issues:
Either:
They are not especially bright
They are counting on their audience not being especially bright.
Submitted for your review – a tweet, from yesterday, from Senator Matt Little, one of the suburban legislators that swept into office in the ’18 mid-terms:

A loaded gun, a ballistic vest, multiple magazines and 18 rounds of loose ammunition. That’s what police say they discovered inside a vehicle parked in an alley in the 1000 block of Beech Street in St. Paul last Saturday night. The man in the driver’s seat has been arrested four times since September. Each time officers found firearms, say court records, which detail just three of the arrests. The firearm, a loaded Brugger & Thomet TP9 handgun, was beneath the driver’s seat, according to the complaint. The ballistic vest, three Glock 9-millimeter magazines, two Tec magazines and the loose rounds of ammunition were in a suitcase in the back seat. Lincoln was arrested at the scene and declined to make a statement to investigators. The female passenger with him said she didn’t know anything about guns in the vehicle. State law prohibits Lincoln from possessing a firearm since he was convicted of felony level domestic assault in 2011, court records say. He has two other unlawful gun-possession cases pending against him in Ramsey County from earlier this fall. In the first, officers pulled him over Sept. 13 after noting that his vehicle’s windows were illegally tinted and found multiple bags of marijuana, as well as two loaded handguns, inside, charges say.
A proposal to make Sherburne County a “Second Amendment Sanctuary” has been floated.
If you live in SherbCo, your mission is clear.
The proposal, from State Rep. Shane Mekeland, from the “New House Republican Caucus”, would commit SherbCo and its law enforcement to defying any future oppressive gun restrictions:
The Saint Cloud Times has Mekeland elaborating:
In a phone interview Monday afternoon, Mekeland said the resolution is basically the county board saying it will not support perceived threats to Second Amendment rights should they come from the state level.
Will SherbCo go through with it? I think it’s doubtful. And I don’t think it matters.
I think the real payoff was what we saw in Richmond yesterday – the movement gives the silent majority a coherent focus for their political power.
There may not be any Second Amendment sanctuaries in MInnesota this time next year – but a lot of Real Americans will come to the polls because of the movement.
Expect much tut-tutting from theSaint Cloud Times, the Strib, MPR and Ryan WInkler.
After a chaotic morning at the state capitol in Richmond, and despite huge turnout from thousands of gun owners, Virginia Democrats approved a number of gun control bills in a key committee hearing Monday.
Ten years ago, I’d have said “this kind of overreach is going to lead them to an electoral reckoning”. Power for “progressives” is like a Blackjack table for a habitual gambler.
And it could very well still be the case in Virginia, where most of the counties have declared themselves “sanctuaries” from Governor McMinstrel’s depredations.
But I’m less sanguine about this than I used to be, at least in places like Virginia. Virginia is so dominated by Blue counties, and Blue America has gotten so very, very tribal, intellectually monolithic, entitled and, let’s be honest, stupid – and that’s not even bringing the money of Big Left into the picture.
“Protect“ Minnesota is planning to bring people to the senates hearings on “gun safety“ up in Hibbing next week.
But… Only the right people…
It would be so fun to get some film of The “Reverend” Nancy Norred Ben’s and her enforcers ensuring that no “gun rights advocates” – Or, for that matter, people who are disabled and can’t afford T-shirts – get on the bus.
It’s almost becoming a truism; behind every spree killer lies a judge, investigator,
prosecutor, psychiatrist or some other alleyway in the system that looked at someone who gave of warning signs…
… And did nothing.
So, naturally, with the case of Thomas Kinnunan, The man who tried to shoot up a church service in White Settlement, Texas a few weeks ago. He killed two people, before being shot by a parishioner on voluntary security duty.And yes, the system has blood on his hands:,

Linden, New Jersey police arrested Kinnunen in September of 2016 for unlawful possession of a firearm. Kinnunen had been riding a bicycle near a refinery while carrying a 12-gauge shotgun. He told police he was homeless, traveling on his bike from Texas and taking photos of “interesting sites.”
Kinnunen’s trial took place in January 2017. At that time, he accepted a plea deal finding him guilty of criminal trespass, with no mention of a firearm. The misdemeanor was punished with time served at Union County Jail, totaling about 90 days.
The judge ordered him to forfeit his shotgun – but didn’t bother putting anything on his record that’d help any other jurisdictions deal with the guy.
New Jersey – tough on law-abiding gun owners, easy on criminals.
Preventing criminals from obtaining firearms is like keeping squirrels out of your bird feeder. Tricks and gadgets simply don’t work. Liberals’ solution is to stop feeding the birds. Conservatives’ solution is a pellet gun. I know which solution I prefer. Joe Doakes
Correction: the “progressive” solution isn’t to stop feeding all birds. Some birds are more equal than others.
“Protect” Minnesota – which, as we all know, is Nancy Nord Bence and a bunch of the kind of people who think armed churchgoers are a bad thing, but only if they have never shot anyone and will never shoot anyone – posted this on social media last week:
So – prohibition doesn’t work, and people who want to flout laws will seek what they want on a black market which will leap to fill the demand, with the higher price enforced by the legal risk to the product…
…but “Universal Background Checks” will curb crime!
The reason we say gun grabbers are irrational bobbleheads is, they are irrational bobbleheads.
SCENE: Mitch BERG is walking out of a Ukrainian sausage shop in Northeast Minneapolis when he notes Avery LIBRELLE, wearing matching “Meat is Murder” hat, T-Shirt, and carrying a matching sign, beginning to picket the store. BERG tries to tiptoe back inside, but LIBRELLE notices him.
LIBRELLE: Merg!
BERG: Er, hey, Avery. What brings you… (But LIBRELLE interrupts)
LIBRELLE: The presence of those guns in that church in Tennesee…
BERG: Texas
LIBRELLE: Tomayto tomahto. The presence of guns in that peckerwood church made the murders possible.
BERG: So let me get this straight…
LIBRELLE: Inclusivity!
BERG: Sure fine – look, almost nobody makes the jump from “clean criminal record” to “mass murderer”, and even less so “street criminal”, without some kind of warning sign.
But we’re dodging the point here. Society really has two options:
Disarm the law-abiding, Which leaves only those who don’t bother following the law with guns.
Let the law-abiding exercise their right to defend themselves.
LIBRELLE: Option three – take away all the guns.
BERG: Er, yeah – in a society of 320 million people, with 100 million gun owners and probably 200 million guns, you won’t get ’em all, and a ban will do for guns what prohibition did for booze, pot and cocaine. So we’re back to two options: disarm the law abiding, or recognize their right to defend themselves.
LIBRELLE: Nope. If you disarm the so-called “law-abiding”, you’ll get rid of all guns.
BERG: (Sounding tired) Huh. Do tell.
LIBRELLE: Every criminal was once a so-called “law biding citizen”. So if you disarm them, eventually criminals will be disarmed.
BERG: Huh. Hey, look – that guy is wearing a “Carnivores for Trump” cap!
LIBRELLE: (Frantically looks for cap) Where? Where?
On Sunday, during what would otherwise likely be a quiet worship service at the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas, an armed gunman entered the church and after talking to a man for several minutes in the corner, pulled out a shotgun and opened fire. The gunman, as was witnessed in recorded video of the entire incident, barely managed to get off more than a few rounds before an armed security guard standing 50 feet away from the shooter drew his pistol and fired a single shot, instantly killing the gunman with what appeared to be a perfectly placed head shot.
Go ahead – try to put a shot into a five inch circle at 50 feet. Simulate the stress of the situation first, though – do fifty jumping jacks and then grab your gun and squeeze off the shot in a second or less.
Wilson, who is running to be county commissioner in Hood County, shared on Facebook that while he is sad he lost “two dear friends and brothers in CHRIST,” he thanks God for being able to protect the congregation because evil does exist in the world. “I just want to thank all who have sent their prayers and comments on the events of today. The events at West Freeway Church of Christ put me in a position that I would hope no one would have to be in, but evil exist and I had to take out an active shooter in church,” Wilson wrote.
Yep, I’ll be headed to the range. Or I would, if all my guns hadn’t fallen into Mille Lacs and they didn’t completely terrify me anyway.
To be clear, churches would still be able to prohibit licensed citizens from carrying firearms on their premises so long as they provide oral or written notice. Campbell’s bill codifies a previous opinion from Attorney General Ken Paxton sought shortly after the shooting in Sutherland Springs. In the opinion, Paxton stated that “unless a church provides effective oral or written notice prohibiting the carrying of handguns on its property, a license holder may carry a handgun onto the premises of church property as the law allows.”
I predict a steep decline in copy-cat shootings in churches – in “shall issue” and “constitutional carry” states, anyway.
I usually deride Medium.com’s “social science” section as “Tumbler for overdramatic solipsists” – but they’ve had some good stuff on 2nd Amendment issues over the years.
“It appears that a gunman shot two church members at back of auditorium with a footlong weapon, then a member shot the gunman with a pistol,” [Editor Bobby Ross of Christian Chronicle] wrote. “This is just based on me watching the video again. Screaming afterward in the church. So tragic. Two quick shots at back, then another shot. Then at least three members (I believe) with pistols [walking] toward where the gunman appeared to fall.” CBS News Dallas reported that a witness confirmed to them that another church member shot the suspect.
The “Reverend” Nancy Nord Bence, of “Protect” Minnesota, on Facebook:
Why, it’s almost as if “Protect” MN is admitting it’s a purely metro-centric organization! The “group” clearly think all gun policy should be set in the Twin Cities.
Remember – when Progs soothingly, condescendingly coo “nobody’s coming to take your guns”, there’s always, always and implied “until we can get away with it” at the end.
Democrat in Virginia think they can get away with it.
Now, America’s real #resistance, in the form of 75 Virginia counties, have declared themselves “Second Amendment Sanctuaries”, with no intention of enforcing Governor and Chief Blackface Minstrel Ralph Northam’s gun confiscation laws.
Which has the salutary effect of getting some Virginia Democrats to screw up and let their inner id romp and play in public:
A U.S. congressman suggested that the Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam could deploy the National Guard to enforce gun laws in counties that have declared themselves “Second Amendment sanctuaries.”
“Ultimately, I’m not the governor, but the governor may have to nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law,” Rep. Donald McEachin said, according to The Washington Examiner.“That’s his call, because I don’t know how serious these counties are and how severe the violations of law will be. But that’s obviously an option he has,” McEachin added.
Gov. Northam himself said on Wednesday that Virginia localities who refuse to enforce gun laws will face “consequences,” but did not allude to what those consequences could entail.
They want to sic the military on dissenters.
Scratch the surface of any “progressive” and you’ll eventually find a totalitarian waiting to get out. With some, you don’t have to scratch as hard.
The commandant of the Virginia Guard didn’t exactly quash the idea – but then, he’s a political appointee commenting on one of his boss, Governor Minstrel’s, idiot colleagues. I’ll cut him some slack.
But I’m going to guess that Governor Minstrel and Rep. McEachin are talking from an abundance of overconfidence in the loyalty of the Guard1. Most soldiers are drawn from the same class of people as the people who own the guns in the first place. I’m thinking Rep. McEachan might wind up going door to door himself, in his little pink kitty hat, at this rate.
Of course, “Protect” Minnesota, the legiion of the ignorant and depraved, was there with their own little authoritarian twist:
Slavery, segregation, poll taxes, “Separate but Equal” and Jews wearing yellow stars were all “the law”, “Reverend” Nord Bence.
Try again – and a little lighter on the “soullless totalitarian harpy” next time.
Democrats contemplate asking the National Guard to seize firearms from citizens. And the leader of the Guard doesn’t rule it out. Leaving aside the irony of Democrats endorsing one form of sanctuary city (illegal immigrants) while threatening to crush another form of sanctuary city (guns), this might make an interesting test case. Will Virginians who serve in the National Guard take up arms against their friends and neighbors who decline to give up arms? Will Virginia National Guard members shoot homeowners who object to having their firearms confiscated? If the answer is “Hell, yes, the law is the law and we obey orders even if we disagree with them,” then Second Amendment activists must rethink things in a big way. We’ve been confident the military won’t obey gun grabbers, won’t open fire on civilians, won’t act the part of British Redcoats at Lexington and Concord. What if we’re wrong? Might be a good time to find out, before we pledge our lives, and the lives of our families, to a losing battle. Joe Doakes
More on the VNG Adjutant General’s comments later today.
For my part? I believe most of the military, being overwhelmingly drawn from the same part of society that “gun culture” grows in, will side with The People…
…which is why I think the real attack on our freedom will be a lot more subtle than Governor Blackface McMinstrel’s japery.
And that’s the danger – too many people will think “attacks on our freedom” will be this sort of comic book foolishness.
