\nRe:\u00a0 \u00a0 Line In The Snow<\/p>\n
Senator Gazelka,<\/p>\n
This morning on the lesser talk station, the host – Drew Lee – asked you about the approach your caucus, with its one-vote majority, was going to take regarding gun control in the coming session, given incoming Speaker Hortman’s statement that gun control is going to be her first priority.<\/p>\n
(In a state with a muirder rate among the lowest in the nation – truly the extremist tail wagging the dog).<\/p>\n
Your repliy seemed to indicate the proper response was to work with the opposition to find “a solution”.<\/p>\n
I’ll make it simple;\u00a0 the solution is\u00a0fight crime<\/em>.\u00a0 \u00a0Take everything that burdens the law-abiding gun owner off the table.<\/p>\n End of sentence.<\/p>\n The DFL – beholden as they are to millions of dollars in Bloomberg money for their wins in the election – will fight you on it.<\/p>\n We – the good guys, the law-abiding gun owners – will fight you a lot harder if you screw us.<\/p>\n Don’t screw us.<\/p>\n That is all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To:\u00a0 Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka From:\u00a0 Mitch Berg, Ornery Peasant Re:\u00a0 \u00a0 Line In The Snow Senator Gazelka, This morning on the lesser talk station, the host – Drew Lee – asked you about the approach your caucus, with its one-vote majority, was going to take regarding gun control in the coming session, given […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[280,2,132,72,22],"tags":[249],"class_list":["post-68572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-circular-firing-squad","category-minnesota-politics","category-mn-legislature","category-mngop","category-victim-disarmament","tag-open-letters"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=68572"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68574,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68572\/revisions\/68574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=68572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=68572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=68572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
