Minnesota lawmaker proposes bill to require license for gun owners

[Aim1]

This lawmaker actually said the 15 and 16 year committing the armed car jackings and gun crimes would have to go through training and the process to get guns.


I'm they'll do that right after shooting and murdering a car jacking victim.


15 and 16 year olds can't even legally buy handguns here at that age. And since they can't they certainly aren't buying their guns legally or at commercial places like Gander Mountain or Cabelas.

Driving is a privilege, firearms ownership is a Right. It’s a shame people get elected without k owing basic facts.

 

[Riomouse911]

Man, some folks are really, really stupid. This guy proves my point.

Stay safe.

 

[Aim1]

I thought in the last paragraph he was going to say a limit on how many people they can murder.

If you needed proof that democracy does not work this is it.

Nonsense. Democracy works, dumb ideas get floated all the time, and being dumb, they get shot right back down. When it comes to 2A rights and dumb attempts to restrict them, exposing the dumb is the best way to fight it.

every time I hear a politician use the "easy access" line I want to say "I wish guns were as easy to buy as politicians" or "I wish guns were as easy to get as crossing the border, getting welfare, and voting while not being a US citizen"

there's no stupid quite like an ignorant politician jumping on a bandwagon to get recognition.

If all dumb ideas were "shot right back down" we would not have 90% of the gun laws that are on the books today.

It's hard to decide who is dumber; the politicians who come up with these ideas, or the voters who elect them.

Never attribute to incompetence or stupidity what could be better attributed to malice. These laws are designed to capture votes from one coalition. The fact that they violate the rights of another coalition does not matter if the first is larger and can keep said politician in power and in a position to gain financially from that position.

Yep. "Infringed" seems to have gone over the good senator's head.

Greed by the politicians for power and greed by those who vote for them for handouts.

They say democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting what to have for dinner.

I don't want democracy, I want our Constitutional Republic back, it has been eroding for over 100 years and is hardly recognizable anymore.

Having moved from MN, sure glad I did with nuts like this guy... I re-call a few previous attempts by him to infringe on 2A rights..

 

[armedwalleye]

You can’t fix stupid, but we in MN can seem to elect it with great regularity.

 

[George Dickel]

I'm not aware of any training required to obtain a driver's license, a test yes, but no training.

 

[Reloadron]

You can't fix stupid and this is a great example of that phrase.

Heck, you don't even need a license to drive around on your own property. You only need a license to drive on public roads. The whole comparison to vehicles is invalid on many / all levels.

 

[BigBL87]

I mean, the Firearm Owner Identification system has worked SO well here in Illinois... Chicago is such a peaceful paradise these days...

“For young people, the 15-year-olds who can easily access guns now and commit armed carjackings and murders and other things, you know, they would have to go through training and they would have to go through a process to do this" said Marty.
"And we would have limits so that some of these 16-year-olds couldn't.”

I’m just not sure I want 15-16year olds being trained to commit carjackings and murders, process or no.

And would a 16 year old even abide by a limit on carjackings per day? Guns bought or stolen per day?I’m guessing not.

 

[Ignition Override]

Having common sense or an IQ above 70 is a blessing.

Imagine how many people in that Minnesota district wish that they had Bothered to go vote..... the day That Nitwit was elected to public office.

Want a "voice"? Don't ever stay home when it's time to get out of that chair and go vote.

 

[The Night Rider]

Every time I hear people talking about how ignorant of the law our politicians (most of whom are Lawyers) are I think of this scene from Silverado. There's a lesson in there if you look for it.

 

[Mn Fats]

Not we. That would be the Twin Cities and even Duluth. Cities get to ruin states. The consensus in my neck of MN is we're tired of these people. But they get the majority come election time. Just like how Colorado got owned. Washington. Oregon. Even Texas might be next.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Can we require a license to run for public office? Perhaps they would have to pass tests on civics, economics, reasoning, and basic problem solving?

 

[PapaG]

Gee, they can be like Illinois. Requiring a license (FOID card) since 1968!!
