Amy Klobuchar hadn't been governor-elect for 24 hours.
She talked about moving Minnesota "not to the left or to the right." Then a reporter asked about guns.
"The gun safety bill is going to get passed."
Here's what's in that bill, SF 4067, as it passed the Senate 34-33 with zero Republican votes:
• Bans gun stores from selling a wide swath of semi-auto rifles, including the AR-15
• Bans sales of magazines over 17 rounds
• Already own one? Report it to the BCA, get a "certification of ownership," and renew it every 3 years. They can charge you a fee.
• Skip the paperwork: gross misdemeanor. Second time: felony.
• Caps home-built guns at 3 a year
• Up to 5 years in prison for sharing 3D-printer gun files
• Brings back the binary trigger ban, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2025, after a court struck it down
• Tax money for a public campaign promoting red flag orders
Last session it died in a tied House. In January there's no tie. The DFL has the House, the Senate and the governor.
She says "we'll make some changes," but "the basics of that bill I hope will remain in place."
The basics ARE the registry.
Every gun owner in Minnesota: this is coming in January.
Call your legislator now. Not after.
“I can't take him to the beach for a walk because it bothers you on your vacation, you don't allow me to rent a house if I have a dog, nor can I put it on urban public transport.
However, I can take him to the rubble to look for you after an earthquake, in the forest after you got lost in the mountain and you had no map or GPS; under the snow, because you did a forbidden off-piste; in the water, because despite the red flag, you went swimming when the posted signs said not to. You welcome him when you need him but not when it’s not convenient for you. After all….”it is just a dog”….
Think again people. Dogs are better than most humans, they’re kinder, more loyal, love unconditionally and they appreciate you no matter whether you deserve it or not.”

@BowTiedBroke Not Allstate.
Had a weld in an old (from before I bought it, capped & unworking) water pipe fail at our cabin, they said they won't cover it because we weren't there when it happened.
It's a cabin ya MFer. We aren't always there
