If only Minnesota Dems cared as much about citizens’ Constitutionally protected rights as they do in shielding foreign fraudsters from facing felonious consequences.
Dems pretend to decry gun VIOLENCE, but what they really hate is gun OWNERSHIP.
They barely bat an eye at big-city violence, and can’t bear to bring themselves to praise police crackdowns on the ‘root causes’ of violent crime sprees we’ve seen over Trump’s second term bringing homicide rates to century-long lows. It’s a little like that The Dark Knight speech Joker gave to Two-Face in the hospital. You know, the one about callous indifference if the expected kind of people die (gang-bangers or soldiers), but absolute outrage when the same violence spills over into the lives of (supposedly) ordinary people.
But the gun violence gun-grabbers DO pretend to care about always comes back to some claim that we need more restrictive gun laws. What they are NEVER made to show is any logical evidence that such a law, if in force, would have prevented specific act of violence whose emotions and grief are being leveraged.
Trump’s DOJ has pledged to defend Constitutional rights. And that includes the lawful rights of gun-owners.
They’re making good on those promises.
The Second Amendment is not a second-class right! MN’s restriction of civil rights behind waiting periods is unconstitutional and indefensible. @CivilRights Division’s Second Amendment Section will continue to defend the Second Amendment as a FUNDAMENTAL civil right.…

From the official DOJ Press Release:
Today, the Justice Department filed suit against the State of Minnesota, the City of Minneapolis, and the City of St. Paul. As stated in the lawsuit, Minnesota’s permit to purchase and waiting period regulatory scheme violate the Second Amendment for law-abiding citizens who desire to acquire firearms for self-defense in their homes. For Minnesotans who do not intend to carry in public, state law imposes a thirty-day waiting period. The lawsuit also challenges waiting periods in St. Paul and Minneapolis, where some citizens are forced to wait nearly 60 days.
“The Supreme Court held that the home is where the need for defense of self, family, and property is most acute. When a person needs to defend their home, they need to defend it now, not thirty to sixty days from now,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Law-abiding citizens do not need government permission to purchase a firearm, and forcing a citizen who has already passed a background check to wait up to sixty days to obtain a firearm is intolerable under the Constitution.”
“We are committed to protecting Minnesotans’ right to purchase firearms and we will not tolerate procedures that are wielded in a way that impairs that right,” said U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen for the District of Minnesota.
