According to Firearm Chronicles
Some in the state of Minnesota are bound and determined to pass gun control. With a GOP-controlled Senate, it’s not very likely, but they’re going to try it anyway. The House recently passed a number of gun control bills and not everyone is happy with them about it. One such person is Minnesota Sheriff Joel Brott who lashed out at the effort to infringe on the constitutional rights of Minnesotans.
In particular: “I too have concerns for the safety of our children and all citizens, but I don’t believe more restrictive gun control laws will resolve the problems of escalating gun violence in our society,” the post reads.
He’s right. Look, I get that some people really do believe these laws make people safer. Nevermind that they do no such thing, of course, but I get that some people really believe it.
However, it’s imperative for those who understand how they don’t to make our stands. We simply can’t allow gun grabbers to run roughshod over us in their fervent but, at best, misguided effort to infringe on our Second Amendment rights. Time and time again, we’ve seen how these laws fail to accomplish their goals and yet the attempt to cram them through continues.
Take red flag laws, for example.
One of the things we’re told is that they’re useful for combatting suicide. While there are a number of other ways for someone to commit suicide, the focus is always on firearms. Experts say guns are more effective so limiting gun use for suicide attempts will save lives, hence red flag laws for suicidal people.
