As I was digging around through the Campaign Finance Board’s lobbying reports yesterday, I happened upon this little\u00a0bon mot <\/em>among\u00a0“Everytown for ‘Gun Safety'” “Minnesota’s” various disclosures:<\/p>\n

First – to the surprise of absolutely nobody who hasn’t\u00a0been marinading\u00a0their head in “progressive” kool-aid – “Everytown for Gun ‘Safety'” “Minnesota” is (see the upper red rectangle) based in New York City; it is about as Minnesotan as open displays of emotion and capable professional sports (I say this so as not to jinx the Twins with unseemly optimism).<\/p>\n

And in the lower rectangle?<\/p>\n

They’re gone. \u00a0Done. \u00a0Hanging up their scolding sticks and sending their monogrammed checkbooks back to New York and jabbering away into the sunset.<\/p>\n

This, after outspending the pro-human rights, Real Americans who support our civil liberties by a lopsided margin.<\/p>\n

I’m sure they’ll be back for 2016, of course – if not as “Everytown”, as something else; maybe “No More Dead Children Inc” or something equally measured and rational.<\/p>\n

But for now? \u00a0It’s like the Germans racing back across the Rhine in the summer of 1944.<\/p>\n

And that’s a good thing – if you’re on the right side.<\/p>\n

Pooing Where They Eat<\/strong>: \u00a0The funny part – if you’re a Real Minnesotan – is that when Bloomberg rolled into town with his armored car full of cash, he basically told the local pro-gun-confiscation group, “Protect” MN, and “Moms Want Action”, to sit down and shut up and let the competent folks do the thinking.<\/p>\n

And so while in the past election and session Everytown disclosed a metric poop-ton of spending, as we pointed out yesterday, “Protect” MN spent not one dime on lobbying<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Again, have no fear; Bloomie will be back. \u00a0So will the blow-dried slickee boys who tried to browbeat the legislators\u00a0during this past session and election.<\/p>\n

Now would be a fine time to join GOCRA<\/a> and MNGOPAC<\/a>, by the way. \u00a0If you don’t keep Bloomberg and the gun-grabbers at bay, who will?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
