Going to need a new Governor before anything resembling this bill gets passed. By then we will have a different looking Legislator. I do think a version of this bill could be passed if it is marketed correctly. This time around it was not.

I wish these threads would just go away, I get so irritated every time I'm reminded of this bonehead move.

Damn, i just bumped it again.

Our lame, socialistic governor made us the laughingstock of the nation. I hope this ends Dayton's political career. His utter contempt for the constitution is clear. At least Maryland had a good day.

Point is there was nothing in it for "him"

If only five members of each house would change their mind, or maybe the constituents replace the no votes with an election this November, a veto could be overridden.

Well it took 9 years of trying for the MNPPA... should we have given up the first year?

Well, then are you going to give up, or move?

Dayton is so full of crap. I wrote him a letter asking him to sign the bill and this is what I got back. “giving individual citizens greater authority to shoot than currently possessed by police officers.” What bull. Did he even read the bill?
