I've heard the idea that the 94 ban was what propelled the ar platform to popularity, I'm expecting to see a big rise in glock clones and 3dp glock kits if this ban ever actually goes into effect.

Bet Glock sales 📈 right now in CA. Kind of like before the WA ban everyone was racing to their closest gun store for AR’s & mags. Just look at the AR platform’s popularity before & after the 94 ban. Turns out when tyrants crack down with authoritarian bans it makes people want them way more.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Guns belong in the hands of civilians because the government should not have a monopoly on violence. The right to armed defense belongs to everyone.

Yeah that worked so well when we banned alcohol in the 1920s and definitely didn't create a booming secondary market. Totally didn't encourage people to make their own alcohol and distribute it. All alcohol just ceased to exist and was never a problem again.

An armed population is harder to oppress. This is the worst time possible to try and push laws that restrict the rights of your citizens.

We won’t let the conversation around gun violence go away.

I’m committed to passing legislation that meets the expectations of Minnesotans.

Our offer to Republicans addresses mental health, school safety, support for law enforcement, and most importantly, common sense gun laws.

5 leading gun violence trackers use 5 different definitions of mass shooting, leading to inconsistent reports. This allows for media to use whatever source fits the agenda they want to push.
The same goes for "assault weapon", there is no universal definition so people can cook the books.

Whoever thinks it's cool that we just renamed the DoD to the Department of Whore should have their firstborn drafted to the front lines of whatever war we start.

Agreed. A capable gun, enough ammunition to feed it, the training to use it properly, and medical equipment and knowledge to patch holes are all going to be very important. People don't think enough about their consumables and usually don't plan ahead long term.

I’ve learned something over the past 8 months:

Buy ammo. A LOT. It’s even more important to have than the gun apparently.

Wanted to share!
