FRIEND AND NEIGHBORS –
Logic and history demonstrate law-abiding gun owners do not commit crimes, but that is not stopping legislative Democrats from once again coming after the guns of responsible gun owners.
Democrats are continuing their commitment to eroding our Second Amendment rights rather than focusing on measures that would have a real impact to keep Minnesotans safe from record-setting crime rates. It is truly unfortunate Democrats politicize local and national tragedies to advance their agenda focused on inanimate objects (firearms) rather than evil people committed to acts of violence. Democrats see fit to abuse their 34-33 seat majority to ram through anti-Second Amendment legislation.
The House is already holding hearings on several extreme anti-gun bills, including:
HF 14: universal gun registration
HF 15: so-called ‘Red Flag’ confiscation
HF 396: gun storage restrictions
HF 601: criminalizing failing to report lost/stolen firearms
Thus far there have not been any anti-gun hearings in the Democrat Senate, but if that happens I promise to fight them tooth and nail.
The history of the world is crystal clear: every government that aims to oppress its citizens first disarms them. Our forefathers knew this, which is why they gave us the Second Amendment – put into place to protect us from a possible future tyrannical government.
Increasing infringements on law-abiding citizens will not make any of us safer.
Sincerely,
Minnesota State Senator
District 30
