The gun-grabber movement is going to make a particularly insidious push to attack your second-amendment rights in the upcoming session.<\/p>\n
The Minnesota Gun Owners PAC is launching an opening salvo, getting on the endorsement board for the upcoming Senate race and backing Senator Julianne Ortman:<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cThroughout her time in the Minnesota Senate, Julianne Ortman has been an energetic and consistent advocate for Minnesota\u2019s gun owners, \u201c said Mark Okern, Chairman, Minnesota Gun Owners PAC.\u00a0 \u201cShe has demonstrated a strong commitment to policies that protect the rights of Minnesotans to hunt, enjoy the shooting sports, and protect their families from violent criminals.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The gun-grabbers are going to be doing a lot of talk about “common sense”. Ortman gets it – there is no “common sense” to the idea of the gun-show background check:<\/p>\n
As a Minnesota State Senator, Julianne Ortman consistently opposed gun control measures that would have impacted the rights of law-abiding Minnesotans while having no impact on violent criminals.\u00a0 Senator Ortman supported the Minnesota Citizen\u2019s Personal Protection Act in 2003 and 2005.\u00a0 She also supported Stand Your Ground legislation in 2012 that was later vetoed by Governor Mark Dayton.\u00a0 Most recently, she was a strong and vocal advocate for gun owners as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee during several days of hearings.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>\u201cAs United States Senator, we are confident Julianne Ortman will continue her strong support for Minnesota\u2019s gun owners and be a leader on this issue not only for Minnesota but also for the nation, \u201c said Okern.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ortman has gotten a mixed rap – but, I maintain, has done a good job of earning conservatives’ support, especially that of the communities that support the Second Amendment. She was vital in pushing the “Good Gun Bill” last session – a finger in the eye of the “Let’s Just Ban Something!” crowd.<\/p>\n
