The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus has responded to “Protect” MN’s slanderous Facebook post yesterday: On Wednesday August 9th, local gun control activist group Protect Minnesota published a statement on their Facebook page implying that the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus has … Continue reading
State Representative Alice Hausman, on Facebook: Kommissar Hausman: perhaps you’ve heard of the Fifth Amendment? Nobody can be compelled to testify themselves? Also – the “qualified immunity” laws that you, in the legislature, continually pass and expand to keep the DFL’s benefactors in … Continue reading
During the many years when Representative Heather Martens ran “Protect” Minnesota, the organization developed a reputation as being dodderingly, genially incompetent – like a neighborhood garden circle where everyone forgot to bring gloves. In the year or so since the … Continue reading
Remember Paul John Scott? He’s the “writer from Rochester” who wrote the infarmous op-ed in the Strib last year telling fellow (what else?) liberals that it was OK, even necessary, to expunge all Trump voters from your life and social circle. … Continue reading
To: The Entire Twin Cities News Media From: Mitch Berg, ornery peasant Re: The Reverend Nancy Nord Bence Back during my brief and unlamented reporting career, I had not a few editors and producers warn me off using certain sources … Continue reading
My first carry permit instructor, the late great Joel Rosenberg, drilled into his students’ heads one key, overarching idea; that shooting in self-defense was, at best, the second-worst possible outcome to an incident. “You’re setting off a nuclear bomb in … Continue reading
All week, we’re going over the “Protect” Minnesota press release from last Friday evening (aka “where politicians take out their trash”). Because the Reverend Nancy Nord Bence’s work is just too awe-inspiringly bad to tackle in just one post. Aside: … Continue reading
Well, “Protect Minnesota” certainly seems happy – they broke out the “happy” stock photos yesterday! So Protect Minnesota is happy about something that happened in California? Why is that? Because they’ve got nothing to celebrate in Minnesota. Bupkes. Anti-gun Pro-criminal groups – “Protect” Minnesota and Moms … Continue reading
Today’s the day all the gun-grabbers have planned for their big…day. They’ll be having their little events, wearing their orange t-shirts, looking a little bit like human Dreamsicles. And they’ll be marching their marches, doing their speeches, yadda yadda. … Continue reading
The Early ’70s – the National Coalition to Ban Handguns distributes signs indicating that the home is “proud to be gun-free”. They made the usual, predictable media splash – the nation’s opinion-pushers were pretty roundly anti-gun in those days, and … Continue reading
It was said about “Protect” MN’s former “executive director” (and pretty much sole member) Heather Martens [1] that “she never once made a single subsantial, original, true statement about the Second Amendment, gun facts or gun rights”. When The Right Reverend Nancy … Continue reading
A couple of years ago, it almost appeared as if the MinnPost – a creation of Minnesota liberals with deep pockets intended to serve as a DFL PR outlet – might do the unthinkable; engage in some responsible journalism on … Continue reading
The Star/Tribune’s editorial board is a group of people, apparently in their sixties and seventies, who seem to spend their days pining away for a time when the media could say anything they want without fear of being caught out … Continue reading
There’s a new sheriff in town at “ProtectMN”. She’s got size two shoes to fill. And they’ll be having a party to talk about it tonight: Dear Heinrich, Come meet the new Executive Director of Protect Minnesota and learn how … Continue reading
Note to “The Other McCain” readers: Welcome! Note that the title of this post is misleading; I have no (new) evidence of voter fraud or payoffs to Planned Parenthood. The title was bait for a regular comment section, er, “visitor”. … Continue reading
“Protect Minnesota” is taking it to the streets! Heather Martens – who, let the record show, has never, not once, said or written a single true, substantive and original thing about guns or gun law – is undertaking one of … Continue reading
A couple of wannabe thugs apparently tried to turn a craigslist transaction into a heist in Shakopee yesterday. And while the article doesn’t say so explicitly, reading between the lines, it would appear the Fugs picked the wrong guy: Police radio … Continue reading
In Charles C.W. Cooke’s fantastic piece in National Review last week on the power of emotion in the gun debate, he made an excellent point; the gun debate is about more than just cold numbers. Much more. Influence: I grew … Continue reading
One of the mixed blessings of being involved with an issue – the human right to self-defense – as long as I have is that every couple of years, I’m treated to the spectacle of a whole new generation of … Continue reading
Busted last week for using public data to try to shame constituents who disagreed with her participation in a Black Lives Matter protest at the Mall of America, Alondra Cano is sorry… …that all you dissenters are such racisssss rubes: … Continue reading
I’m not sure why I bother with Heather Martens anymore. I mean, she was never a worthy opponent – for lil’ ol’ me, much less the Human Rights activists that actually matter – and she has yet, in all her … Continue reading
We apparently don’t have Heather Martens to kick around anymore!
There was a shooting at the 4th Precinct demonstrations, late Monday night. Three men, described by BLM as “white supremacists” – and in retrospect it appears they were, although to be fair some elements in BLM call everyone a white supremacist … Continue reading
In yesterday’s piece, where we caught Heather Martens lying about a 911 call in Colorado in a fundraising letter to fellow liberals with deep pockets, she also noted: P.S.: During the past few weeks, Protect MN has appeared on KMOJ … Continue reading
Because they don’t give the faintest whiff of a rat’s patoot about gun safety. When I was a kid, someone came into the school and gave us a quick demo and (IIRC) a film strip on actual gun safety. It … Continue reading
