Open Letter To Paul Gazelka
By Mitch Berg
To: Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka
From: Mitch Berg, Ornery Peasant
Re: Line In The Snow
Senator Gazelka,
This morning on the lesser talk station, the host – Drew Lee – asked you about the approach your caucus, with its one-vote majority, was going to take regarding gun control in the coming session, given incoming Speaker Hortman’s statement that gun control is going to be her first priority.
(In a state with a muirder rate among the lowest in the nation – truly the extremist tail wagging the dog).
Your repliy seemed to indicate the proper response was to work with the opposition to find “a solution”.
I’ll make it simple; the solution is fight crime. Take everything that burdens the law-abiding gun owner off the table.
End of sentence.
The DFL – beholden as they are to millions of dollars in Bloomberg money for their wins in the election – will fight you on it.
We – the good guys, the law-abiding gun owners – will fight you a lot harder if you screw us.
Don’t screw us.
That is all.

Hopefully Mr Gazelka will read (or be informed of) this letter.

At this point, your best bargaining position is to beg for a reach-around.
