You better do your due diligence on all those Democrats down there that said Trump was an illegitimate President.

Here's the old hag that started it, even though she was the one that fabricated the Russian collusion hoax.

F*** it, I've decided that if necessary I'll be a scofflaw. At my age and health, the worst that could happen- a twenty year prison sentence- would be a retirement plan. And no I will not plea down; let's see them give 50,000 gun owners each a full trial by jury.


There are 5 potential cases headed to SCOTUS right now, a couple of which have already been filed. Others are coming.

I want to see the list of candidates they endorse, especially in the democratic primary. And if they endorse any election deniers in the general election, that's a hard no.

The list of their endorsed candidates in the 2022 general election doesn't leave me a lot of hope though. I do hope they have a question on the questionnaire they send out on whether the candidate denies the 2020 presidential election results.


Why would a single-issue 2A rights organization like MNGOC ask for candidates opinions on the 2020 election? Maybe Mr. Strawser will chime in and correct me, but I don’t see how that is relevant to their cause at all.

We're a single issue organization, so this isn't part of what we ask about - for the same reason we don't ask about abortion, or healthcare, or the new MN state flag, for example.

Speaking PERSONALLY, I don't vote for election deniers - but that's me personally. The caucus remains a single issue organization, we'll evaluate candidates on that stance alone.

It's not relevant and we won't evaluate candidates on that stance.
