Governor Klink released his gun control proposals yesterday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did he propose to push metro prosecutors to use <\/em>the sentence enhancement for using guns to commit crime?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perish the thought, simple peasant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, the usual California-stye gruel: magazine capacity limits, age limits, and most importantly gun registration [1]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s time to turn out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus is holding its annual “Lobby Day” on Thursday morning<\/a>. Come on down to the Capitol. Members of the Caucus will meet you, show you how to find your Rep and Senator in the various office buildings, and help you represent gun owners, face to face, to our legislature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislature takes these days seriously since they know that unlike the astroturf clutches of biddies with ELCA Hair that ProtectMN and Moms Want Action sends waddling around the place, we represent a hell of a lot of actual voters that consider the 2nd Amendment a litmus test. And there are a lot <\/em>of us out there. Enough to flip a chamber or two in 2024? Yep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope to see you there on Thursday morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[1] They’re called “Universal Background Checks” – but the only way to make them “universal” is to keep track of which guns have been background-checked. This creates a set of linked data points – or, as they’re called in the information management business, a “database” . Ringing a bell, yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
