What a bunch of crap. Lawmakers cannot reduce violence. It is a social construct that they help create.

A shift in the balance of power at the state Capitol has boosted the odds of lawmakers passing bills to reduce gun violence during the upcoming legislative session. The Democratic takeover of the Minnesota House includes so many freshmen who support tougher gun laws that staunch gun control opponents now consider the chamber to be hostile territory. The Senate, where the GOP maintains a one-vote majority, remains a question mark, though the chamber's top Republican, Majority Leader Paul Gazelka of Nisswa, has signaled "some openness" to discussing gun proposals that got blocked in previous sessions .
Sen. Ron Latz, a Democrat from St. Louis Park, said he expects some kind of bill will become law for universal background checks for gun purchasers. He said he also expects approval of a "red flag" law that would let families and police get court orders to temporarily take guns away from people who are a danger to themselves or others. He lost a procedural effort to force a vote on both proposals last session.

I guess they really don't care that they voted for a lesbian.
Or, they're just too stupid to know who they actually voted for.
Reduce gun violence? Stricter laws always do that. Think chiraq.
The Dems are going to pass Vermont-style carry laws?
Democrats would vote for a loaf of Wonder bread as long as it had a D listed by it on the ballot.
Not a chance.
"...where the GOP maintains a one-vote majority..."
1 in 4 have a license to fish and hunt in Minnesota.
They can try but it won’t go anywhere.

I know people who hunt and fish in MN, and they and their families vote in lock-step with the DFL.
They gave us Keith the woman beater Ellison and Omar the bigot muslim in the 5th to..

with a near 80% turn out in Hennepin county I am sure there was much cheating going on.

Also, what the media keeps forgetting..
The republicans run the state senate..
not much is gonna get done in the next 2 years.
it was a off year for the senate.. Only 1 seat was up on a special election (because Gov Dumbass named his Lt Gov to the senate, this pulled the president of the senate a republican out of the senate and made a huge mess of things)..
a republican won that seat.
worse.. somalia..
A state may not violate a constitutional right.
***********************************************
The only rights we have are those we’re willing to shed blood to keep.
Now, we’ve convinced the enemy we’ll never go that far. So, the enemy believes it can take away whatever rights it decides to.
The only way to stop them will be to kill them in very large numbers. The enemy will not believe we’re capable of doing so right up until we’ve done so.
I don’t think we’ll go there.
There’s a lot of talk about going there. Slogans and such like. But, seriously, if we were going to go there, we’d already have been there and back. The provocations have been sufficient.
I wonder what they would see when they look at all the states today, if they were going to flush out an even stronger union. They probably would not give CA, WA, OR, IL, MN or NY a second look.
Wanna bet?
