Criminal-safety groups like to jabber on about having a “conversation about guns”.
Here’s “Protect” Minnesota’s version of “conversation”.
What a bunch of gutless frauds.
Look, don’t get me wrong – it’s not like any criminal-safety advocates can hold their own in a conversation, much less any kind of informed debate with the good guys.
It’s just…
…well, no. That kinda sums it up.

You are wrong, Merg. They can always hold their own… in an echo chamber.
As my Papi would say, “Si, tienen huevos grande”. But then, don’t we love it when they’re so blatantly honest? I know I do. It saves time.
JPA,
Exactly.
PT,
That’s one way of looking at it. Probably a healthier one than I have.
Hey, they’re honest and they save everybody’s time. “We don’t want to have to justify our arguments, you either agree with us or you’re a non-person.”
Al Franken is on Fox News right now, testifying about Sessions. He is going on and on and on and on and on about how many cases Sessions personally handled vs what was on a questionnaire.
You have to see the shot of the people across from him. The look on their faces is “christ, who is this clown?”
Chuck – What difference, at this point, does it make?
Sessions moves on along with Mnuchin and Price. demonCrat obstructionists were “fired” for their dereliction of duty to vote. Bwahahahahahaha…
Night W…..yeah, events are moving at a very high speed right now. Al Franken thinks he’s got Nixon on the missing minutes on the tape, but in reality its just some trivial issue on a questionnaire that no one cares about. Its kind of sad actually.
What’s up Mitch, no screenshot of “You’ve been block by ___.”?
At one point, I thought I might move to Southren state, get ready to retire, get my law license down there. I had to apply for admission to the bar in that state. They wanted a list of every case I had been involved with. Involved how? As a litigant? No, every case, where you were a party AND where you were a lawyer.
I pointed out that as a small-town prosecuting attorney, I had been “involved” in literally thousands of cases – speeders, drunk drivers, disorderly conduct – the usual garbage cases that are pled out for a fine. Who cares? How can that possibly be relevant to my fitness to be a lawyer in your state?
Nope. Every one. It’s on the checklist so It Must Be Done. I ended up sending my application in a cardboard box with a ream of pages of computer printout.
ProtectMN reminds me of a discussion I had with an activist, and when I challenged him to consider what would change if such and such were true, he refused to even consider the possibility for the sake of argument.
Hahvid grad no less, living proof of “you can always tell a Harvard man, but you can’t tell him much.” In the same way, you can always tell a criminal rights activist, but you can’t tell him much, either. These guys refuse to consider contrary ideas, and then they wonder why the whole thing devolves into a shouting match.
I’m wondering about what rally was used for what appears to be a photoshopped Protect Minnesota sign. I’d be willing to place a bet that a “rally” of PM folks would be no more than 10 – 20 bedwetters at best.
Mitch, tangentially related. I saw your recent FB post where you so badly wished you could see a debate between Sarah Cade and Nord-Bence.
While that would be great to read in a transcript, Sarah needs a TON of public speaking training and practice before she’s ready to go up against the likes of Nord-Bence. Sarah’s voice was meek, tremulous because she was probably nervous in front of the crowd, and hesitant in some areas. Nord-Bence has probably a couple decades of weekly public speaking experience, and she is HUGELY capable of presenting her speech in a way that is very emotionally persuasive. Thinking back to that gun debate in Bloomington a few months ago, not in terms of WHAT was said but HOW it was said, she absolutely outclassed everyone else, even Bryan Strawser. Given how the gun ignorance is so rampant on their side, presentation of the facts doesn’t matter. The message is all that matters.
Scott, I would almost bet money that that wasn’t a “Protect” MN rally. It was probably some general progressive rally around a bunch of liberal causes and “P”M was just one of many along for the ride. The orange hats are their trademark but there aren’t a ton of them in that pic.
Bill, I forgot about the orange hats they wear. As far as a debate on topics I’d love to see the Rev agree to a debate with Mitch or our buddy Andrew Rothman, but we know that even with whatever speaking skills she might have it will never happen. It’d be fun if it were to happen though, maybe Tony Cornish for moderator, I’d want a front row seat!!!
Joe Doakes: Your tale is reminiscent of the many job apps I’ve filled out recently. Even though you attach your resume, they insist you fill out all their blank spaces for a thorough work history. Sometimes redundancy seems to be a requirement for a paycheck.
TBS, I remember applying to certain government agencies after college. The agencies in question had over 50 page applications. On one of the pages they asked you to list every place you had lived in the last decade in chronological order and gave you 5 lines in which to do it. I had to call and ask the recruiter if they wanted just the last 5 places I’d lived, because if I had to list *everywhere* I’d lived for more than 2 weeks for the last 10 years of school chronologically I’d need another 3 or 4 sheets. I figured I moved on average about 3 times a year, but between school, stints at home, then stints at internships, then home, then school, then lab work at national labs during school, then back to school, etc., all that took my chronological moves to averaging more than 10 lines/year. I pity the poor agents who took a look at that list. I have no doubt they punted on more than half the items since not everyone I lived with reported being contacted.
