THE FOUR RULES

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

Winston Churchill said
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
Si Vis Paceum Para Bellum

Sam Adams, more than beer

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen”
Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power

"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

Registration. We know where this leads, to confiscation.


agree to allow the agency to inspect the storage of the weapon to ensure 
compliance with this subdivision;

We don't need a warrant, you will comply.

The appropriate law enforcement agency may charge a fee for each registration 
and registration renewal pursuant to this subdivision.

A fee, and they get to decide how much. A gun hating Chief ot Sheriff could charge hundreds to register each gun. Pricing people out of ownership. 


Persons acquiring an assault weapon by inheritance, bequest, or succession shall, 
within 120 days of acquiring title, do one of the following:(1) surrender the weapon to a law enforcement agency for destruction; or(2) modify the weapon to render it permanently inoperable.

All "assault weapons" will eventually be destroyed. Either by the person inheriting it or the police. And with both chambers controlled by Democrats and a Democrat Governor, this could possibly pass. If I lived in Minnesota I'd be burning up the phone lines. Read the whole law. It's enough to make you glad you don't live there.
