“...automatic gunfire at night from my bedroom.” Solution: attack private property.
Stupid is as stupid does. These politicians need an enema of the brain.
How many children were killed by guns this week in MN? How many were killed by an illegal alien driver? It seems the MN legislators would recognize the greater danger and do something about it.
He's even admitting it won't accomplish anything. How any legislator can bring up a bill like this in the face of all the evidence and an organized gun lobby is beyond me.
Anyone purchasing a firearm would have to undergo a federal and local background check.
This is de facto registration unless the database is truly purged (which I don't believe for a minute that it is no matter what the law says).
Highly unlikely you commie bastard.
You may have heard gun fire on occasion, but automatic gun fire is quite distinctive.
And if you 'heard' some gun fire, why does that equate to infringing on the rights of the citizens?
Only in the mind of a wannabe tyrant.
The proposed law includes “assault weapons”. Ha.
For some reason though they think shotguns are ok in private sales.
Maybe if you fully funded your police force Minneapolis, instead of diverting millions into feel good Eco-freak projects and "mass transit" schemes, you wouldn't have this problem
Freedom...slipping away at the hands of do-gooders who don’t have the mental capacity to follow an argument to its logical conclusion.
These people simply must be stopped. We, the people, must assert our rights at EVERY challenge, no matter how small, no matter how local. It has become obvious that we won’t undo three generations of DhimmiLib entitlement socialism by starting in Washington DC. So...we must start at the state and local level.
Geee. Will the new law regulate gun sales held in parking lots?
Fine. Make it like liquor sales. Illegal to buy and sell to an unqualified buyer.
Offer a free number to be able to call and check if someone is qualified (or put a mark on drivers licenses of those who are disqualified).
Do NOT collect data about who is buying what. After all the goal is not to create a confiscation database, but to make sure guns aren’t sold to criminals.
Anyone who insists on databasing the serial number and model of a gun an individual buys is clearly bent on confiscation.
Get a rope.
Is it time yet?
Does he mean automatic as in machine guns? Otherwise, he is not hearing automatic fire. Machine guns that are operable on automatic are not legal except by the military and law enforcement.
If there was automnatic gun fire, it would have been all over the press by now.
This is total Bravo Sierra.
This guy’s incorrect use of the terminology is inidicative of someone who knows nothing about guns.
He probably believes that if one is in the house there is a danger of it deciding, on its own, to run down the hallway and shoot him in bed.
I highly doubt that you lying piece of offal.
“”This is a very dangerous weapon. “
Can this bozo name one functional weapon that could not be called dangerous?
“I hear automatic gunfire at night from my bedroom,” said Samuels.
That’s cuz your TV is on and an action movie is playing silly
I have as much regard for such politicians as I do for cockroaches! As usual, the criminals won’t be affected such useless legislation.
The left is obsessed with seizing guns from LAW-ABIDING citizens, and leaving them in the hands of criminals.
Deliberately.
Automatic gunfire? Aren’t they already heavily regulated under Federal Law? Or did I miss the repeal?
The solution to his hearing gunfire at night is very simple: Pass a law requiring all firearms to be equipped with silencers, and remover them from Class III.
