Most of the Minnesota Organization of Bloggers’ blogs are actually in, y’know, Minnesota.

But Regular Folks United is a group blog featuring a wide variety of conservative writers – the best known being Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher, but also featuring Twin Cities conservative activist Todd Kruse.

And he’s got some good stuff:

Mesa, Arizona resident  Tanya Nareau, age 33 was arrested this week by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department for allegedly “trading her 2 year old daughter for a gun.”

Apparently Nareau traded her daughter to a family friend in return for a gun because Nareau thought the friend would do a better job raising the child.   Perhaps that is the only correct assumption Ms. Nareau made in her life since clearly she does not have the moral code and sound mind needed to be a loving parent.

As an active participant in our right in the USA to keep and bear arms let me call on the gun control advocates out there —  then again I am certain they don’t read Regular Folks United — to explain to me how even stricter gun control laws would have prevented this “family friend”  from giving  Nareau a gun.  Both parties in this unholy ‘trade” clearly do not value life nor do they appreciate the original purpose of the Second Amendment so why should law abiding citizens pay the price via burdensome gun control laws generated by complete idiots such as Nareau?   No amount of “gun control” would have prevented Nareau from getting this gun since clearly no “background check” was conducted by the family friend willing to accept the baby as payment.

And what of the baby’s future?    At two years old a child is old enough to remember who their parents are so pause for a moment to consider this child’s fate —  a mother in prison,   a family friend with a mere “claim of ownership” due to this gun trade, and a likely life of being shuffled along the government social services network until age 18.

It is enough to make me consider adopting this child.
