A little bird forwarded me this email from “Protect”MN to its mailing list. I’ll add emphasis:
You are Invited!

And so the Carlbom era of gun control in Minnesota begins.
Before Richard Carlbom, the gay marriage debate in Minnesota was between people who believed in principle that marriage was a gender-blind civil right, and people who believed that it was a religious institution intended for the creation and raising of future generations.
After Carlbom, it became a battle between good, compassionate people who cared about rights, and evil bigots.
And that’s what the anti-civil-rights movement – and its highly-paid consultant, Carlbom – wants to do with the civil right of self defense; frame it as a battle between people who represent a “culture of violence”, and people who believe that with enough laws, we can create a violence-free utopia.
Like Chicago. Or Washington DC.
“Protect”MN and Carlbom want the uninformed and gullible to conflate “armed self-defense” with gun violence; to lump people like this, this, this, this, this, these and thousands of others in with gang-bangers, thugs and spree killers.
