Anti-Rights Activists Mobilize On MN Capital Grounds
Amendment 2: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. (emphasis mine)
The right to keep and bear arms is a cornerstone to American freedom, liberty, and security. It has countless benefits, but the most important one is that law abiding citizens can protect themselves from our society’s worst of the worst. Of course the radical anti-Constitutional leftists believe guns of and by themselves are the problems and don’t waste a breath in trying to deny Americans the right to purchase and posses firearms, and they do not disappoint in the MN Legislature.
From Virginia to Arizona, federal and state gun laws are loosening everywhere from national parks to Amtrak trains.
But in St. Paul, a proposal that would send Minnesota in the opposite direction is headed toward its first hearing Friday — a bill requiring background checks on the purchaser of any firearm sold at a gun show.
The proposal pits its DFL sponsor, St. Paul Rep. Michael Paymar, against the mighty arsenal of gun rights advocates and lobbyists who have managed to turn back nearly every effort to tighten Minnesota’s gun laws in the past.
You just have to love how the Strib refuses to demonize the anti-2nd Amendment Rights activists like they do the people standing up to protect them.
In a session dominated by pressing financial issues, it’s unclear how much time and energy lawmakers have for an explosive gun control debate. The GOP already is saying no way. But just the attempt is arousing serious passions as all sides take aim at Friday’s hearing.
“I’m not backing down,” said Paymar, a veteran lawmaker who chairs the House public safety finance division. “I think there’s an undue fear of the [National Rifle Association] here at the Legislature.”
As a member of the NRA, carry permit holder, and supporter of the United States Constitution, I have a worthy fear that my rights are under assault from anti-Constitutionalists in elective office who are beholden to radical activists who are trying to usurp the Constitution and take away one of my most precious rights.
