Tim Walz Drops Special Session After ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Falls Flat

Breitbart News noted that Walz began pushing for a special gun control session shortly after a transgender male attacked Minneapolis’ Annunciation Catholic school on August 27, 2025.

After mentioning a special session, Walz attempted to pressure Republican lawmakers into supporting an “assault weapons” and complained when they would not.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has dropped his focus on a special gun control session after his push for an “assault weapons” ban fell flat in the legislature.

CBS News reported Walz saying, “If we’re going to hold a special session on safety of our children and safety of our streets and safety on gun violence, we need to talk about guns.”

He then alluded to Republican ability to block the bans being pushed and described any possible session as “a waste of money and a waste of time.”

The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus posted to X, celebrating Walz backing off the special session but warning that pressure must continue to be kept on lawmakers to keep them from caving: “Gov. Walz just blinked. After weeks of promising a gun control special session no matter what, he’s now backing off — because you turned up the heat. …It’s working.

But it’s not over. Walz says he won’t call a special session unless there’s a deal. That means weak-kneed GOPers or DFLers-on-the-fence could still cave.”

Ban the Governor, send him to some awful place in Africa, but don’t tell the lucky country that he is coming.

Perhaps the Smithsonian article only meant “modern day” mass killings.
If I wanted to I could go back to the 1700s and the first School house massacre, the Enoch Brown massacre in 1764.

The worst school killings in the US happened in 1927. Almost no one knows about this.
