However, it will still be legal to be an illegal in Minneapolis, as it is a sanctuary city.....
“Project Exile” worked pretty well for Virginia. Providing for mandatory harsh sentencing of people convicted of carrying a gun during the commission of a crime. Of course you won’t hear these people of the role the NRA played in it.
I’m just curios...
With the huge spike in gun crimes (and all crimes really...) in cities all across the nation. Places reporting a rise in such acts over last year.
Has anyone stopped to think this “spike” in gun crimes is the result of so many people out of work, no money, no jobs and no hope of any jobs in the future?
I’d like to see the numbers for the years prior to the economy falling off a cliff. I’d also like to see how these spikes relate to area unemployment and duration of those out of work.
I bet if someone honestly dove into these numbers, we just might find an answer or two.
Just saying...
It’s always the guns that do the killing, not the gang bangers and drug dealers. Why not get the gang bangers and drug dealers off the streets?
Translation: Leftist political apparatchik gun grabbers.
This is about subject (the disarmed citizen) control NOT criminal control.
I know this is off topic but since this is about Minnesota, I hope there will be an investigation into the voter fraud that catapulted Al Franken into Congress.
Convicts and ex cons should not be allowed to vote and if they did those votes should not be counted.
Just imagine how sad it would be in a war with a battalion of Minneapolis militia defending. Defended by a bunch of girly men - defeat guaranteed.
This is all talk from the government bodies.
They will never do this. Gun enhancements to crimes always get dropped as part of plea bargaining.
DA offices are notorious for pushing for them (to give lip service to the public) and always dropping them in plea bargains. Always.
They tried the same thing in Baltimore years ago.
5 year no parole sentences for any gun crime.
Guess what happened? The city juries almost never convicted. So now it’s back to the same old thing - cop a plea, get 2 years, be out on the street in 9 months.
If you want to get bad-guns off the streets, saturate those very streets with good-guns.
History shows that when restrictions on the self-defense of the would-be victim are loosened their victimization-rate drops; as a biblical example, I suggest one reads the book of Esther wherein the Persian king passes into law [which cannot be altered] permission for the Jews to be slaughtered at the behest of a trusted advisor. Unbeknownst to the king, his queen is of the Jewish race and plead that he allow the Jews to gather together and defend themselves.
I suppose, as an appeal to greed (which now seems to be the major motivating force behind ‘law enforcement:’ issuing revenue-enhancing tickets/citations) I would propose a $5 fine on any Eligible Citizen for *not* carrying a gun in public.
