What We’re Up Against

Joe Doakes from Como Park emails in re Pioneer Press piece on last nights’ House Public Safety Committee hearings and the, er, standard of logic on the DFL side:

“If we don’t believe that criminal laws deter people, than I don’t know what purpose all of you exist for here in this room. Because clearly, people do abide by laws,” [Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association boss Dennis] Flaherty said. “And this notion that if we pass this, criminals won’t by abide by it, well that could be said about everything from speeding to virtually every crime you create here in this room.”

Then where is the need for this law? Let’s outlaw gun crimes and let anyone have a gun and just be lawful.

And we can outlaw poverty and ignorance too. And bad breath.

Until you admit the reality that some people DO NOT follow the law, and identify who those people are, you can’t craft a solution to prevent those people from committing gun crimes. Democrats are still in denial. Flaherty is still a moron.

Flaherty is doing his job – shilling the line of his organization, which is itself a DFL-controlled pressure group as much as a “union”.

One thought on “What We’re Up Against

  1. It follows the same logic that a sign saying No Guns Allowed, will keep a criminal or a nut out.
