Minnesota Governor-elect Amy Klobuchar is wasting no time pushing for new restrictions on law-abiding gun owners, even as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to decide whether bans on commonly owned semiautomatic rifles violate the Second Amendment.

Just one day after winning the November 3 election, Klobuchar told reporters that legislation targeting firearms and magazines would be a top priority for her incoming administration.

“The gun safety bill is going to get passed,” Klobuchar declared during her November 4 press conference.

The timing is particularly significant. On December 2, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins, consolidated cases addressing whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect possession of AR-15s and similar semiautomatic rifles.

Who says the left doesn't have priorities?

They want their intended victims unable to fight back: "Someone (me) might get hurt once people real7ze what I really want to do to them"

The Ruger Mini 14: Semi automatic, Uses .223 ammunition
Has readily available 30 round magazines
Looks like a non-scary hunting rifle as it has a wood stock
Is the same rifle as an AR15
Liberals don’t mention wanting to ban the Ruger as it doesn’t look dangerous
Proof that people like Amy are ignorant and run with emotion

You can get wood furniture for the AR. Makes it look totally different.
