Remember – the gun grabber agenda picks up again with a vengeance today at the Capitol – and once again, we’ll need Real Americans to turn out to hold them back.<\/p>\n

The first hearings, at noon today, will be for the Capitol Trap Bill:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on the flawed recommendations of lame duck Lieutenant Governor Prettner Solon\u2019s capitol safety advisory committee, and steamrolled by lame duck Representative Michael Paymar, SF2690 <\/a>would impose additional red tape hoops to jump through, and \u201cgotcha\u201d felonies for permit holders visiting the State Capitol Complex. THE BILL WILL BE HEARD THURSDAY, March 20, at noon<\/strong> in Room 15 of the Capitol.<\/p>\n

This bill would create a trap<\/strong> for harmless permit holders whose meaningless, duplicative, unused notifications \u201cexpired.\u201d A visit to any capitol-area building \u2014 even the Minnesota History Center \u2014 after this false \u201cexpiration\u201d would turn a permit holder into a felon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then, this evening, Ron “I’m From Harvard.\u00a0 Are You From Harvard?\u00a0 No?\u00a0 Oh” Latz will present a gun confiscation bill:<\/p>\n

Civil rights opponent Ron Latz, chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, introduced SF2639<\/a>, a bill that would create de facto confiscation<\/strong> of firearms from persons accused<\/strong> of domestic violence.<\/p>\n

Senator Ron “I went To Harvard, you know. Did you go to Harvard? No? Because you know, I actually WENT to Harvard” Latz<\/p><\/div>\n

THE BILL WILL BE HEARD THURSDAY EVENING, March 20, at 6 p.m<\/strong>. in Room 15 of the Capitol.<\/p>\n

While GOCRA has no love for wife-beaters, this bill goes far beyond protecting victims, and would impose a back-door theft of personal property through exorbitant fees.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This bill would gang-rape due process for those accused <\/em>but not convicted of domestic violence.\u00a0 Remember – a shocking number of domestic violence charges are completely made up; many soon-to-be-ex-spouses know full well that getting the police to confiscate their soon-to-be-ex’s firearms, among all the many ugly consequences of false accusations of domestic abuse\u00a0is a great <\/em>way to dig at them – and Latz’ bill would put on onerous burden on the innocent.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

I’ll be there this evening.\u00a0 Hope you can too.\u00a0 Bring your maroon GOCRA shirts if you have ’em – but whether you have the shirt or not,\u00a0show up.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And remember – we Real Americans have been winning the battles against Bloomberg’s Billions lately, but it’s only because we show up<\/em>; we make the phone calls, we sacrifice the time and shoe leather, we come to the hearings, we fight the fight on the street.\u00a0 If we ever stop – at least while the DFL controls the show in Saint Paul – then the orcs win.<\/p>\n

If you can’t make it to the hearings?\u00a0 You know the drill; call your rep and your legislator.\u00a0 If they’re among the good guys – mostly GOP, but also many out-state Democrats – then thank them for defending your civil rights, and encourage them to keep up the fight.\u00a0 If they’re with the orcs – most Metro DFLers – express your opposition politely and calmly.\u00a0 <\/em>We win this thing by being better than our opponents<\/em>.\u00a0 And we pretty much always are.<\/p>\n

I hope to see you tonight.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:\u00a0 I’m going to keep this post at the top of the page for the rest of the day; new posts will fill in below at the usual time, around noon.\u00a0 Just saying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
