State senator John Marty – he of the radical gun control bill that the progressive caucus his flogging in the legislature, to try and fluff up progressive morale – took a picture at the “Moms Demand Action” rally in front of the Minnesota state capital earlier this week.
Here it is:
Pretty impressive photo.
But…it sure is a nice tight angle shot, isn’t it?
There’s a reason for that. Here’s the wide shot of the same scene:
Another angle? Sure:
Since roughly the 2002 election, gun control in Minnesota has been a mile wide and an inch deep.
And, at least in Minnesota, at least this year,, where Michael Bloomberg‘s money is going to states where they’ve got a chance of cramming down a symbolic victory, and not paying to drag “community groups” out for “spontaneous”, “community” protests, it’s not even that wide.
Hey, Mitch, do you have a pic of a second Amendment rally taken in the same place?
We had crowds that size when we had open carry picnics at Lake Harriet Pavilion a few years back..
Can we please refer to the rally in a manner that more accurately reflects their number?
May I suggest “Mom Demands Action”?
More moms would have been there, but they were afraid of being carjacked when they drove into St. Paul.

Oh yeah? Well how many of them got drunk and started shooting their guns into the air while doing the Hitler salute? Huh? And how many went on shooting sprees and killed BIPOC and LGBQT+ people because their guns were really just signs of their disturbing and repressed homoerotic feelings for Donald Trump? Huh, Scott Hughes? How many?
