Lie First, Lie Always: Lie, Finally
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…

Lie First, Lie Always: We’ve Been Through This, Right?
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…

This Is Nancy Nord Bence’s Mind On…Er…Does Anyone Actually Know?
“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…

City Slickers
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. Well, among the right Twin Citians, anyway.

Full Gaslight
On Facebook the other day, The “Reverend” Nancy Nord Bence went full-on gaslight: “To face the reality of our gun problem, you’ll have to admit that you are the problem too. You’ll be forced to connect the dots between guns and your white theology, guns and your nationalism, guns and your Islamophobia, guns and your…

And When I Say “The Reverend Nancy Nord Bence Has Never Said Anything About The Gun Issue That Is Simultaneously Original, Substantial And True…
…that statement would seem to have spread to statements about her own “group”. Bear with me. “Protect” Minnesota was at Game Fair over the last two weekends. Game Fair is pretty much the biggest outdoor sports fair in the state; hunting, fishing, dogs, the whole nine yards. It takes place in deep-red Ramsay. And “Protect”…

At Long Last “Honesty” (Of A Sort) (Sort Of)
The Reverend Nancy Nord Bence has never, not once, made a statement about guns, gun owners, gun crime, gun laws, the 2nd Amendment’s meaning and history that is simultaneously original, substantial and true. Not once. Her news release earlier this week wasn’t “honest”, per se – but it was unusual in its frankness. Because while…

The Reverend Nancy Nord Bence: Lying Now, Lying Then, Lying Always
If you only take one message away from this blog, it should be… Well, it should be “Freedom is good and must be defended without reset, since tyranny never sleeps”. But if you take another message from this blog, it’s… …well, Berg’s Seventh Law. But if you get three messages from this blog, number three…

Orange You Disappointed You Didn’t Get An Invite?
SCENE: A meeting of the “Protect” MInnesota governing board. The Reverend Nancy Nord Bence presides over a room with half a dozen middle-aged, white men and women with ELCA hair (short, unadorned gray for the ladies; close cropped gray hair and neatly-trimmed Progressive-standard beards for the males). NORD BENCE: OK, I call this meeting of…

Oops! She Did It Again!
“Protect” Minnesota – most likely their “executive director” and one of very few actual members, the Reverend Nancy Nord Bence – reported on what the belived to be their bete noir, a good guy with a gun, doing something allegedly stupid and horrible. Oh, no! On the one hand, it touches all “P”M’s hot buttons:…

Up From Zero
As I’ve pointed out in the past, “Protect” Minnesota and their director, the “Reverend” Nancy Nord Bence, have never made an assertion about guns, gun owners, gun laws, gun crime, gun statistics, the Second Amendment or its history that is simultaneously: Original Substantial, and True. You might get two out of three, sometimes. This next…

Every Time You Read Nancy Nord Bence, You Get A Little Dumber
First things first: Kenneth Lilly, the security guard alleged to have shot the bus driver on 35W the other day, has been charged with attempted murder, among other things. And it’s seem, from watching the video, to be a fair cop. To use a gun in self-defense – we’ve been through this before – you…

Nancying The News
The Reverend Nancy Nord Bence had a red-letter day yesterday. And by “Red Letter Day”, we mean “a day where she passed on more lies and ignorance than normal”. In fact, today is going to be a rare Bence Bifecta. Remember – “Protect” Minnesota and its leadership have never, not once, made a statement about…

Advice
I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it at least once a month until “Protect” MInnesota finally gets laughed out of polite company in this state: the local gun grab group and its arious leaders – the “Reverend” Nancy Nord Bence today, Rep. Heather Martens before her – have never, not once, made…

A Good Guy With A Gun – And One Lucky Cop
Arizona man saves a state trooper’s life after an ambush on I-10 following a “shots fired’ radio call that led the officer to a crashed car and a mortally-injured woman: [Arizona Department of Public Safety director Col. Frank Milstead] said as the trooper began blocking off lanes of traffic and laying out flares, he was…

Lie First, Lie Always: An Open Letter To The Reverend Nancy Nord Bence
To: The Reverend Nancy Nord BenceFrom: Mitch Berg, Irascible PeasantRe: Think. Think Really Really Hard Rev. Nord Bence, Over the weekend, you posted this on “Protect” MN’s Facebook page: Over the years, I’ve pointed out – with absolute accuracy – that you have never made a single statement about guns, gun owners, gun history, gun laws, the…

Lie First, Lie Always: Nancy Nord Bence’s Unbroken Streak!
It’s not quite a “Berg’s Law”, since it only pertains to a few groups, most particularly “Protect” Minnesota – the voice of the gun control movement in Minnesota – but it’s getting close. Let be say this as clearly and unequivocally as I can: “Protect” Minnesota has never made a single statement about guns, gun…

Lie First, Lie Always: Nancy Nord Bence Goes Full-Bore Ghoul (CORRECTION: It Was Erin Maye Quade)
I went to a League of Women Voters’ panel forum on “Gun Violence” in Burnsville last night. It was actually a fairly even-handed forum; the LWV volunteer who did the initial setup of the topic, “Emily” (didn’t catch the last name) gave an incredibly even-handed presentation on the facts of the “gun debate” – most of which…

This Is Minnesota’s Gun Control Movement In Action
Gun control groups don’t care about saving lives. It’s true in big ways – you will never see a gun control group, or at least not one of the main line, lily white ones like Everytown Julie one of their protest in any American inner city, which is where the vast majority of the “gun…
-
I’m Not Saying…
…that gun control activists are stupid. I am saying they sure hope you’re stupid, and are trying to make you more so “Protect” MN posted this: Now, I get that you can’t judge a book by its cover… …but do you see this guy standing m line at Cabelas filling out his paperwork while waiting…

The Juggernaut Strikes
It’s convention time. Time for groups trying to influence the political process to wield the power of their numbers, finances and organizing skill to benefit the candidate they choose. For a group with serious power – human, financial or moral – it’s time to apply that power to the endorsement of candidates for key state…

Ghouls Just Want To Have Fun
Over the Memorial Day weekend “Protect” Minnesota just couldn’t help itself; they had to appropriate a solemn national observance to their mission: Normally, something like this would end up in me wading into the fever swamp to smack them down. Especially when you get people like this chiming in: (Would someone please tell me what…

Nancy Nord Bence Throws In The Towel
The Reverend Nord Bence sent out one of her tl;dr news releases yesterday, including this curious little passage: There will be no Protect Minnesota protest at the Capitol today. The pro-gun rights Majority is dug in, no sensible gun bills will be passed today, and we’re not going to give them the satisfaction of smugly…

Blowback
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 information on the attack at the Dar Al Farooq Mosque, and was withholding that information…

Lie First, Lie Always: Slander
We’ve been pointing out for years – correctly – that “Protect” Minnesota has never, not once, made a single statement that is simultaneously original, substantial and true. But today, the’ve slid over the line into slander. “We hope that groups like Minnesota Gun Rights, Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus and Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance can…
