Time To Stand Up For Stand Your Ground
By Mitch Berg
Tony Cornish’s “Stand Your Ground” bill – which would make legal self-defense a more tenable option for law-abiding Minnesotans – is coming up for another hearing in the Senate Thursday.
The bill – which got side-tracked in the last session, amid a mass of inaccurate and dishonest reporting on the issue – is a must-pass for this session. And I think it’s fair to say if the GOP allows it to die this time, a lot of gun-owning Minnesotans are going to wonder when they’ll get some payback for all their commitment.
I’m going to urge all you Second-Amendment supporting Minnesotans to get on the phone. These Senators are all pretty much in line to support HF1467/SF1357:
- Michelle L. Fischbach, (651) 296-2084
- David W. Hann, 651) 296-1749
- Ingebrigtsen, Bill, 651) 297-8063
- Magnus, Doug, (651) 296-5650
- Scott J. Newman, 651) 296-4131
- Gen Olson, (651) 296-1282
- Mike Parry, (651) 296-9457
They could use a call to encourage them, but mainly thank them for their continued support for Civil Liberties in Minnesota.
Three more Senators on the committee – Terri E. Bonoff, Barb Goodwin and Linda Higgins – are worthless Metrocrats. Rust-encrusted enemies of civil liberty, none of them is worth the time it’d take to contact them.
The last two…
- Keith Langseth (651) 296-3205
- LeRoy A. Stumpf. (651) 296-8660
So please – take a moment to email or (especially) call today and tomorrow.
Remember – have them support HF1467/SF1357.
