The Minnesota Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance has spent the past few weeks compiling its biennial legislative report card.<\/p>\n

As, for that matter, have a lot of Minnesota activist groups. It’s election season, after all.<\/p>\n

But I’m going to guess not very many got a response like a GOCRA volunteer got from Minnesota state representative Ron Erhardt (DFL, HD 49A) of Edina:
\n\"20140803-132016-48016012.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“No more surveys! You come near me, I’ll blow your head off” was Erhardt’s \u00a0response, according to GOCRA. \u00a0I have sent Rep. Erhardt an email asking for elaboration.<\/p>\n

I’m trying to imagine what’d happen if a pro-life Representative had said that to a volunteer from Emily’s List? \u00a0If a fundamentalist Christian rep had said something like that to a gay marriage advocate?<\/p>\n

I’m not saying that only Democrats have this sense of depraved entitlement.<\/p>\n

Just that only Democrats can get away with it in this state.<\/p>\n

Note to Aaron Rupar, Rachel Stassen-Berger and Tom Scheck: \u00a0Boy, wouldn’t this be a big, juicy story to report on!<\/p>\n
