Senate DFL passes unconstitutional weapons ban

If I said that I was surprised that the Senate DFL passed an assault weapons ban, I'd be lying. The truth is that this is their annual assault weapons ban push or, as I put it, the DFL's annual show that they're unwilling to care about U.S. Supreme Court, aka SCOTUS, rulings. In this instance, the most-relevant SCOTUS ruling is New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Brouen.

Acccording to Brouen, "It is undisputed that petitioners Koch and Nash—two ordinary, law-abiding, adult citizens—are part of “the people” whom the Second Amendment protects. See Heller, 554 U. S., at 580. And no party disputes that handguns are weapons "in common use" today for self-defense. Assault weapons are designed for self-defense. With the onslaught of soft-on-crime Democrat presidents, Soros-funded DAs and defund-the-cops Democrats, sales of handguns, AK-47s and AR-15s exploded. According to the Alpha News article, "The Minnesota Senate passed sweeping gun control legislation in a 34-33, party-line vote on Monday afternoon. That bill, SF 4067, would require Minnesotans to register many of their firearms with the state government."

What business is it of the state's to know who owns which guns? Gun registration won't make the neighborhoods safer. If registration made neighborhoods safer, we would've seen the results 20+ years ago. This is classic 'busybody government.' This doesn't have anything to do with making neighborhoods safer. Ask the authors of this bill to explain HOW registering guns makes people safer. Then prepare yourself for a Kamala Harris-class word salad that doesn't explain anything. About 4:20 into this video hearing, Jamie Long engages in a 'word-salad-for-the-ages':

He literally tried deflecting from investigating Tim Walz and Keith Ellison by saying "Mr. Chairman, we have 1 month left of session and, instead of focusing on the things Minnesotans are asking us to do, like deal with cost-of-living, like deal with gun violence prevention, the Republicans are proposing that we use that remaining time in partisan attacks." Ladies and gentlemen, that's a Harris-class word salad. That's a deflection-for-the-ages. I rest my case;

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...

I couldn't help but smile when I read the headline to this article . The title is "BREAKING: Minnesota Department of Education to strengthen hiring practices — after Alpha News reports." Thank God for well-run government agencies. Under DFL management, the Minnesota Department of Education, aka MDE, has turned inot an embarassment. Thank God Alpha News takes oversight seriously. Alpha News reports that "The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) says it will now require criminal background checks for “all new hires” and is working to adopt tougher hiring policies—after Alpha News’ exclusive reporting on a convicted sex offender’s employment in a high-level state role." The article continues, saying "The department announced the changes in a letter to Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, following widespread concern over its hiring of Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan national on the state’s predatory offender registry who was earning $145,000 a year as Director of I...
