Well there's a story in the Pioneer Press (PP) story about a company using cameras and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to spot guns. I'm thinking Mall of America (MOA) should look into this. Between the gun sniffing dogs and this technology MOA should be REALLY safe. (Yeah, I'm being sarcastic.) The st...
Fake News? Quotes taken out of context? Bias reporting? I dunno. Here's the headline and a link to the story: Democrat Representative Said “Women Can’t Have Guns Because Safeties Are Too Complicated” Supposedly this is our very own Rep. Kaohly Vang Her, District: 64A (roughtly Cleveland to Dale sout...
law enforcement personnel would be able to arrest gun thieves with stolen guns much like they arrest auto thieves with stolen cars My very lame attempt at sarcastic humor. I was wondering if the supporters of the 'lost or stolen' legislation think law enforcement officials will be able to spot stol...
Thank you bstrawse. It's disgusting how our legislature is down to an 'us verses them' mentality. It's 'WE WIN' or 'WE LOSE' on every issue for some of our legislators. Case in point. Straw purchases. The Dems voted down stricter penalties last session then submitted their very own (almost word for ...
Rep. Walter Hudson on HF 4300 ('Safe Storage')---Now this is some REAL ' common sense '. He also spoke very well against HF 601 the 'Lost or Stolen' law. HF 601 still passed the house though. I haven't found the full debate on HF 4300 like I did for HF 601 but EVERYONE , each and every legislator sp...
One thing about HF601 (Lost or Stolen) I think would have been fun but probably not helpful would be to go full sarcasm on the bill as to the good it could do. "This bill is NECESSARY to SAVE LIVES ! With timely information about lost or stolen firearms, law enforcement personnel would be able ...
Well, House File (HF 601) giving the victims of gun theft 48 hours to report the loss or theft of a firearm (after they reasonably should have known about it) passed the MN House 68 to 63. Alpha News had a link to the debate on the issue and you can also see the debate on YouTube: https://www.youtub...
Here's a link to the story in the Pioneer Press, April 29, 2024: https://www.twincities.com/2024/04/29/minnesota-house-to-vote-on-3-gun-control-measures-including-safe-storage-requirement/ The three bills are about: 1. Safe storage of firearms. 2. Increased penalties for straw purchases. 3. Req...
Ruling that the entire interior of a car is "public space" seems way over-expansive to me.
So....since it's a public space, can I just get in your car? You know, get out of the sun, get out of the rain, relax, have a soft drink or a snack? Just wondering. Oh, and can I bring my dog?
Here's a video from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) that makes the case that bans on high capacity magazines are illegal. They base this on the concept of items in common use cannot be banned. They cite there are (conservatively) ONE BILLION (that's 'BILLION' with a 'B') high capacity...
TPT Almanac had an interesting interview about the Minnesota Prison System 4/12/2024. Here's a link to the show and the interview is about at the 31 minute mark. https://video.tpt.org/video/rideshare-update-environmental-laws-housing-plans-40698/ They're talking to two people; David Boehnke, Incarce...
He’s charged with Class X armed habitual criminal and being a felon in possession of a firearm. His previous felony convictions include being a felon in possession of a firearm in 2014 and narcotics cases in 2018, 2013, 2008, and 2007. But but but...Good Golly! Can't you see he was turning his life...
Hmmm....Steve Simon assures us there's no voter fraud...i.e. voters don't need to produce an ID because there is no problem, and his office can't even check on the residency requirements for the CANDIDATES let alone the VOTERS. Remember John Thompson and his Wisconsin driver's license? Things need t...
