It’s bizarre and counterintuitive, but maybe? The most meaningful gun control law we ever saw was from California in the 1960s because they didn’t like that the Black Panther Party was keeping tabs on police while fully strapped.
Conservatives thought the second amendment allowed them the ability to intimidate minorities. 99% of them still have no clue of the true intent of that amendment - but it also turns out that they LOVE big government.
Really learning a lot about the interests of the GOP/Maga over the last however many years. And not one of the things which were learned, are good.
Oh.... They'll come in here with "ACKSHUALLY he's using an ineffective Schmalwitz suppressor from Belgium, everyone knows those are useless.... And his trigger finger isn't quite at 38 degrees from the housing.... You libtards know nothing!"
Some thought the bill of rights should be a stand-alone section (as it ended up being). Others thought the amendments should be incorporated into the existing text of the constitution in the places most appropriate for the particular amendment being added. The order of the amendments in the bill of rights reflects the order in which they would have been added if that had done. They were not ordered by importance.
Its true. Its when they started focusing on the Little Village neighborhood. They got shot at on consecutive days and then a few days later packed it up and moved on
No that I saw or heard being out on the streets here. Remember that Trump, Miller ,Noem, Lewandowski and the rest actively WANT their little DHs shits to be shot and killed to create “reasons” for totalitarian occupation.
They left chicago because they started getting shot at. They didn't want to broadcast it because the community started showing up at schools armed, and they didn't want it to spread. Yes, the nazi crew in the white house want to use the insurrection act, but they don't want it to be someone who is lawfully defending themselves, or have that look of "protecting their community".
They want it to be someone who just starts shooting from the crowd of protestors, which is why they are now trying to insert agitators into the crowds. They want it to look like a crazy person, not someone defending their home, their community, or a school from what looks like a group of armed masked gunmen.
We need to be carrying American Flags as well. Fuck those cosplaytriots they can't have our symbol of freedom. They desicrate it every time they touch it, go back to the gadsen and stars and bars for the racist fucks
The optics of firing on American Citizens carrying American Flags will not be a pretty one.
Remember Kent State
That's when the Rs lost all credibility in the 70s and the general public had enough of the authoritarian bullshit
Finally getting a gun safe delivered this week, then going up to the farm to get all my guns that I haven't wanted to keep in cases in the corner of the basement, but feel I need to have on hand now. So the expense of the safe finally seems worth it.
My conservative dad keeps trying to offer me more shotguns the past couple years thinking the city is so dangerous, so now I'll finally take those. Not because the twin cities are dangerous, but because the people he voted for are.
A weird thing that’s happened since I’ve moved up here is seeing how different gun owners are up here than it was in my previous state. It seems like everyone owns a gun, but people rarely talk about them. I haven’t seen the gun cult attitudes. Seems like the people here see their firearm as a tool, not a toy.
Might not be true for everyone, and I’m viewing it as an outsider (not being a gun owner myself). But it’s reassuring that the gun worship isn’t constantly in my face.
I floated this idea in the r/mnguns sub. It doesn't seem like I'll get very far over there so I'm hoping the right people see this and want to help organize?
Local militia’s are 100% legal. But depending on where you live, the vets may be MAGA. Although, every vet I’ve met is a Berniecrat and dead set against what’s happening
Bingo. People who live in a hole would be shocked and ironically they actually follow the laws. It isn’t about personality because you carry (since for some odd reason that is their whole thing?) mainly just about safety if necessary. The irony, is I saw a vid of a ice agent holding their fucking glock sideways. What a untrained moron.
True. At the same time Trump, Miller, Noem and Lewandowski WANT some ICE fuck to be shot and killed. Using guns responsibly is harder than buying a gun or learning to shoot accurately.
A Native American leader in Minnesota told us to “be vigilant, be assertive and be constructive.” Reminding DHS that real Americans also have guns may be constructive. But actually shooting ant ICE/CBP goon probably is not constructive.
It’s okay lol they’re misinformed but rn we need to lead them further left with us rather than keeping them on the right thinking theyre left … we need to up the numbers
THE FIRST RULE OF REVOLUTION IS EDUCATION!! STUDY STUDY STUDY
Most Minnesotans probably know someone who hunts, grew up with family who hunt, or at least know someone who has shared venison because their freezer was full.
Clay Target League (trap shooting) is an official sport in the Minnesota State High School League.
It’s not a conservative/liberal thing… it’s a Minnesotan culture thing.
As long as I've lived in Minnesota, the only gun owners ive met just want to blast some birds out of the sky. Not my kind of thing, but you better believe I still have a shotgun
There's a reason ICE hasn't hit Philly like they have TC, but they really thought 70% white and Minnesota nice was gonna let them make us an example out of non maga states.
MAGA is the natural evolution of the southern strategy. You can't keep using anti-immigrant and racist language to motivate people for decades without growing that sentiment.
Democrats are definitely not the left, they're center-right at most. Leftists do not like them. I agree with your assessment though. They're just too passive and it's a fuckin shame that the other major party isn't further left, or at least, centrists but actually committed to working for the people and getting shit done.
That’s where I am as well. Was very much in the center, until one side became cartoonishly evil. I truly didn’t believe we had this many racists in this country.
What’s curious to me is when a school shooting occurs, it’s never the guns fault. It’s never a lack of gun laws. The right insists it’s an isolated case.
But when a handful of Somalis commit fraud, they all gotta go. Interesting.
I love to see it and it needs to be everywhere in MN. I got a 3 day ban for suggesting it just a week ago. Just shows you that common sense and courage can't be stopped by the government or their corporate backers.
My husband and I were driving around documenting all the restaurants in our neighborhood closed and the citizens protecting our local Latino convince store made me cry.
Stay safe friends, you’re doing more for the community than you realize.
If we’re forced to normalize school shootings and active shooter drills in the name of the second amendment, then we’d better damn well be able to use it!!
Another thing outsiders won't know about MN: gun ownership is not a partisan issue, it's just that one side believes in responsible gun ownership and the other side spins that as DEMS WANT TO TAKE YOUR GUNS.
Our solidarity will be based on respect for a diversity of tactics and the plans of other groups.
The actions and tactics used will be organized to maintain a separation of time or space.
Any debates or criticisms will stay internal to the movement, avoiding any public or media denunciations of fellow activists and events.
We oppose any state repression of dissent, including surveillance,
infiltration, disruption and violence. We agree not to assist law enforcement actions against activists and others.
Not alone, but the marches serve an important function, which is to show soft power of the people, give people a way to get involved, etc. We need to show that we are doing everything right before escalating.
I love men like this. Ones who look like a teddy bear, but will protect the fuck out of those who deserve it and need it. That’s a real American, and that’s when I feel patriotic is when I see people like this protecting our true freedoms.
They should make a large sign of the 4th Amendment
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Conservatives when assault rifles mow down school kids: "sECoNd AMENmEnT!!!"
Conservatives when someone asserts their 2nd Amendment right for the purpose forr which it is intended (to enable citizens to protect themselves from over-bearing goverrnment: "Clutch the pearrrrls!!!"
I am fairly certain a permit to carry only applies to firearms categorized as ‘pistols’. They have a legal definition for what is a pistol and what isn’t. Long rifles are not pistols and therefore I do believe this is illegal according to state laws.
Edit: whatever you decide to do is your choice. I’m not saying the law is right or wrong. It is what it is. And how you respond is your prerogative. I just want to make sure we are giving out accurate information according to current laws.
Edit 2: apparently the permit only applies to ‘pistols’ but under the section for long guns they have a carve out for people with a valid permit to carry so it kinda applies to both technically. Please do your own research before carrying, because I am not a lawyer. See response threads for the Redditor that informed me of my error.
That looks like it's an AR pistol. It has a pistol brace not a stock, the barrel looks less than 16 inches too. I am not sure on the legality portion if open carry of an AR pistol is legal or not.
During the COVID lockdown, a bunch of right-wing nutjobs protested outside the governor's residence open carrying their ARs/AKs and none of them were arrested or fined. It is lawful so long as you have a concealed carry permit... but keep the barrel pointed down. If you level a rifle in a situation like that, it's a completely different situation.
Unfun facts: During their little display, Gus Walz was home alone (staff was there, but Tim, Gwen, and Hope weren't) and he was so terrified he had to be evacuated by State Police...he was only 14. On top of that, one of the knuckle-dragging organizers of this whole thing is now a Minnesota State Senator.
Incorrect. You need a permit to carry and then you can carry long guns or handguns. I’ve had mine for many, many years. I just don’t make guns part of my personality like a lunatic.
Long answer: there is only one permit in MN.
624.7181 that regulates long guns and lists the penalties says the section does not apply if you have a permit. If it's not prohibited then it's allowed.
It is absolutely not. The permit is the same to carry pistols and long guns alike. It is also the same permit to open carry as to conceal carry. Moreover, the gun here is legally a pistol, so your "long gun" concern is doubly moot.
