Respectfully, you're just plain wrong

The Doolittle Raid was the reason there was an attack at Midway. The Japanese Military was totally humiliated by the bombing of Tokyo and the result was the Midway attack which was an unequivocal defeat. The japanese killed 250,000 Chinese as retaliation as well.
from the US Navy website:
http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/even ... dooltl.htm they also resolved to eliminate the risk of any more such raids by the early destruction of America's aircraft carriers, a decision that led them to disaster at the Battle of Midway a month and a half later.
and
Battle of Midway, fought over and near the tiny U.S. mid-Pacific base at Midway atoll, represents the strategic high water mark of Japan's Pacific Ocean war. Prior to this action, Japan possessed general naval superiority over the United States and could usually choose where and when to attack. After Midway, the two opposing fleets were essentially equals, and the United States soon took the offensive.
Bla, Bla, Bla, you could look it up, but the point is 'going on offense' is the way to win. The David / Goliath over-reaching of the Doolittle raid on Tokyo lead to the unequivocal defeat for the Japanese at Midway.
After Midway and Guadalcanal the Japanese continually backpedaled all the way to the 1000 bomber missions on Tokyo.
The 2A supporters find themselves on the defensive now, once this has passed, I think it is important to go on 'offense' and amend the MN constitution. When Concealed Carry Reform was passed it was part of a progressive offensive movement throughout the US. We exercise RKBA under the 5-4 Heller-McDonald decisions, in the future there will be 5-4 and 6-3 defeats for RKBA at the Supreme Court. We will need the state constitution as a backup.
