Thanks MNGOC for coordinating and leading. I noted that Rob Doar was at the capital overtime throughout the session until the bitter end (wee hours of Saturday). I laughed when the 'other' group did a video in Northfield, MN Veterans Memorial Park (NOT St. Paul) this morning stealing MNGOC's thunder...
Although good news, I'll celebrate when the documents are signed and they have adjourned for the year. It'll be over at 11:59 PM on Monday night. Coming soon! b Not really ever "over." Support Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus ( NOT Minnesota Gun Rights) for the "long game." Not much ...
Angie Craig is a US Representative. Her salary is $175,000/year DOH! Thanks for fixing my mistake. Obviously, I would not be qualified making such a basic mistake :D $175K seems like a lot, but I think their expenses are a bit higher. Home in MN, apartment in DC, etc. Regarding previous poster sayi...
Hear me out. Make the job pay $100k/yr. Then the job would attract competent people who actually think. I think, that most "thinking" people would watch the news, look at the job, and say, "No Way!" I think I'd do it for $150k/year. You gotta have a thick skin, use the art of cr...
Wow, just wow. Dumb knows no bounds, yet they get elected. I did some thinking. MN Reps get $45K/year. In order to be a rep, you can't easily have a normal 9-5 job. $45k/yr is not enough to raise a family, etc. So, other income is needed This leaves two groups. 1) People with other non traditional ...
72-hour hold=person getting help. Red Flag=police barging into your house, rooting through everything and tossing aside knives, axes, razors, hammers, rope, garage... until finally finding a gun. Huzzah! they shout removing the gun and zooming off in their squad cars. This leaves the troubled person...
Soooooo, rather than acknowledging that there are already mechanisms in place, there is a push for something more? Comes back to my earlier comment about a process that reminds lawmakers of what is already on the books so redundant legislation isn't necessary. Enforcement of existing should be emph...
All I can think of is coming up with a process that incorporates due process like application. Already exists. 72-hour hold. Anything longer requires a hearing with "accused" present and represented. If after 72-hours, Dr says not crazy, you go free. Red Flag takes just one tool away and ...
Does anyone know the frequency with which backgrounds are re-checked to verify eligibility of PTC holders? I'd assume it's more than the one time at issuance. It's done annually. In addition, the laws were changed in 2014 I believe it was that tightened MN's process on ensuring that a PTP or PTC wa...
I am taking this new threat very seriously. The threat in MN is very real. Federally, with the strength in the Senate, while ominous, it's not as bad as we have it in MN. It's happening. We are losing. I did all the actions recommended by MN Gun PAC. I also made sure a couple of 18 year olds did the...
