| A short video from Minnesota (which has been pulled from YouTube since the writing of this article) spotlights shameful behavior by elected Democrats, supposedly interested in conducting a “national conversation on guns.” At a meeting, two firearms experts came forward to speak, bringing with them two common Ruger 10/22 rifles that had been cleared by security. The purpose of their presentation was to explain how the gun-control laws currently being proposed would outlaw only a gun’s cosmetic features while not affecting the functionality of the firearms(Snip) In the video, DFL legislators simply arise and exit without explanation.

The Ruger 10/22 is one of the most popular semi-auto rifles in the country, and (other than at very close range) one of the least dangerous firearms out there. In fact, I´m sure the pistols worn by police/security at this hearing are far more powerful and lethal.
It just demonstrates further - as the story is entitles - the Leftists aren´t interested in a "convesation," they are solely interested in dictation, deeming who is and who isn´t worthy of Second Amendment protected rights.

Liberal politicians are scared of the people. Showing up with guns probably scared the crap out of them.

They´re doing the same thing in Colorado. I went to a hearing in Denver, at the state capitol, on Wednesday where they were holding initial hearings on two gun control measures. The speakers advocating the legislation were outnumbered by opponents by six to one. The bills were voted out of committee along party lines - 7 Democraps to 4 Republicans. The same thing happened the day before with two other bills - opponents outnumbered supporters nine to one, but the Democraps voted the bills out of committee along party lines again.
I have hopes that most of these bills, should they become law, will eventually be found unconstitutional - but for now, the Democraps have a majority and are determined to push ahead with their aganda, no matter what. Their minds are made up, and they don´t want to be confused by the facts.

This is what happens when communists get elected. They push their totalitarian ideology down everyones throats without regard to the constitution or the people they enslave.
The tree of liberty acts like it is getting thirsty.

For the two states cited my question is how Democrats get elected? Other than stuffing the ballot box, that is. And do those states reqire a govt photo ID or they accept anyone who can stagger/walk in?

Also scary, the dem governor is trying to pressure local ammo mfg Federal Cartridge. They are threatened with losing state contracts if they don´t get on board with "reasonable gun control". They also have a whole bevy of other proposed laws, none of which would do anything to reduce violence but would make it harder for law abiding people. They are throwing everything at us, hoping some of it will stick.

DFL like all leftist are cowards, they shoot from the tall grass or better yet let other people take all the risks. They create nothing, their only ability is to destroy.
You can fight or be a slave, I honestly don´t believe there is an alternative. God bless those with the courage to stand and fight.

Beautiful Rosa Parks sits alone in the Montgomery, Ala., city bus she desegregated, an image endlessly replicated, most recently on an American postage stamp issued in February to commemorate Black History Month and what would have been Parks’s 100th birthday.(Snip) President Obama voiced the familiar view that she was “just wanting to get home after a long day at work” and “may not have been planning to make history.” But as Jeanne Theoharis shows in her insightful biography, “The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks,” this perspective obscures Parks’s lifelong activism and “fierce determination.”

Leaders of the five BRICS nations plan to create a development bank in a direct challenge to the World Bank that they accuse of Western bias. The bank would use $50 billion of seed capital shared equally between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa but would undoubtedly be dominated by China. It would be the first institution of the informal forum started in 2009 amid the economic meltdown to chart a new and more equitable world economic order.

SANFORD -- For the first time, we are hearing from the teenager believed to be the last person to talk to Trayvon Martin moments before his deadly confrontation with George Zimmerman. The teen, known only as "Witness 8," is considered to be the prosecution´s key witness, but Zimmerman´s attorneys said she lied during a deposition by the Martin family´s attorney, Benjamin Crump. A new motion filed Monday said the state knew Witness 8, said to be a girlfriend of Trayvon Martin´s from Miami, had been lying, but never came out with it.

SANFORD - Attorneys for George Zimmerman have filed a new defense witness list, and it includes more than 130 people. Among them: Trayvon Martin´s mother and father, their attorney Benjamin Crump, former Sanford police Chief Bill Lee Jr. and former State Attorney Norm Wolfinger. It also includes Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte and several other members of Trayvon´s family, including his step-brother and the Oviedo cousin with whom he´d spent the night the evening before he was fatally shot. Attorneys seldom call all the witnesses they list, still the list placed in the official court file Monday is extraordinary

An unemployed illegal immigrant who has spent the last few years playing video games reportedly used records of his playing time to apply for and receive President Obama’s “deferred action” status. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Jose Muñoz was an out-of-work 25-year-old Mexican immigrant who graduated with honors from his Sheboygan, Wisconsin high school in 2005. Since that time, Muñoz — who was brought to the United States at the age of one — has been out of school and out of work, instead spending time helping his family with household chores and countless hours playing sports

A bill advancing through the Texas Legislature could drastically decrease the number of legal abortion facilities in the state. Supporters of Senate Bill 537, which would increase regulations for abortion facilities, say it will improve women’s safety. But abortion rights advocates say that the bill is a thinly veiled effort to close 37 of the state’s 42 abortion facilities, and that it would reduce women’s access to legal abortion. “I understand the suspicion, but this really is about improving health care for women getting abortions,” said the bill’s author, State Senator Bob Deuell, a Republican

The move would shutter 61 school buildings, including 53 underused schools and one program. The cut represents roughly 10% of all elementary school facilities in Chicago Public Schools, the country´s third-largest school district.

The legal opinion from the nonpartisan agency throws new questions on the Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe´s plans to stop delivering first-class mail, but keep delivering packages and express mail on Saturdays. The U.S. Government Accountability Office stopped short of saying the U.S. Postal Service´s August plan to end most Saturday mail service violates current law.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
