The final part of Alice Hausman’s HF241` – her\u00a0gun grab bill focused on so-called “assault weapons”<\/a>\u00a0– may be the strangest, most vaguely-written, dumbest of all. \u00a0It’d ban any…:<\/p>\n

It’d seem to be aimed at the big, scary looking “Streetsweeper”-class shotguns, which do, indeed, have a “revolving cylinder” holding their rounds…:<\/p>\n

Look – we get it. \u00a0Alice Hausman is subcontracting her bill-writing out to Heather Martens – who, herself, knows nothing about guns whatsoever.<\/p>\n

The question isn’t “are Hausman and Martens and the rest of the DFL metrocrats on the Public Safety committee talking out their asses on the subject”. \u00a0That’s a given.<\/p>\n

The question is “aren’t you DFLers embarassed?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
