Here's the strategy - and I'll be blunt about this.
We have the votes to pass committee, the House, and the Senate to pass both bills.
Dayton can sign the bills - which is great, and they'll become law.
Dayton can veto the bills - in which case this will be issue #1 for gun owners in the 2018 elections.
EIther way we're going to win in the short or long run.
*Now* is the time to be on the offensive and push forward -- not waiting to see what Dayton may or may not do.
I hope to see you there on Wednesday -

Really?
MN was one of a handful of States that wanted Hillary Clinton to be their President.
The most gun hating, anti-second amendment Candidate in my lifetime and MN voted for her and we are supposed to believe that Governor Goofy can be defeated by vetoing Pro-Gun legislation?
No way it will be an issue.
In 2013, the anti-gun DFL leaders controlled the MN House and Senate - and the Governor's mansion - and yet they were unable to move a single gun control bill.
In 2015, in divided government, we were able to move 5 pro-gun bills through the legislature and get Dayton to sign them.
So yes, I believe this can be done.
