On Saturday, Sept. 13th, Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth addressed the MNGOP State Central Committee and railed against gun control. Demuth told delegates, alternates, and attendees of the meeting that more gun control will not work and it will not keep kids safe.
This message was appreciated by grassroots, conservative delegates who fear RINO politicians may cave on gun control in a special session. It appears Tim Walz is waiting for the Sept. 16th special election in 34B (Melissa Hortman’s previous seat). Since 34B is a reliably Democrat seat, this will likely bring the House back to a 67-67 tie. Walz has vowed to have a special session “one way or another”.
Law abiding citizens should not be punished for unhinged individuals committing acts of violence. Criminals do not follow the law as is. They will not follow gun control laws while law abiding citizens would. The 2nd Amendment is clear, the right to keep and bear are shall not be infringed.
Tyrant Tim’s proposals include a ban on so-called assault weapons, banning high-capacity magazines, gun storage regulations, making red flag laws even stricter, and forcing gun owners to buy liability insurance. None of the mentioned policies would have prevented any of the recent shooting tragedies and for that reason the GOP cannot cave an inch on gun control. The assassination of Charlie Kirk taught Patriots that we need to be MORE secure, not LESS secure.
With Lisa Demuth controlling the gavel as Speaker, it will be her responsibility to block gun control from even reaching the floor. This is a moment where Republican leadership is desperately needed and as the Republican leader of the House, Lisa Demuth, must keep every single GOP Representative in line or the radical Democrats will succeed in their unconstitutional, anti-American gun control agenda. As we’ve seen in the Walker Anderson case, radical leftist prosecutors and AG Keith Ellison abuse and misapply gun laws as is. We do not need to give big government, anti-freedom, leftist prosecutors more power to destroy good people’s lives.
Rumor has it that Lisa Demuth is floating a Governor run and may be making an announcement in the near future on this topic. If she wants to have any chance at being the Republican nominee, it will be paramount that she block radical Democrat gun control. However, many conservatives may have already ruled her out due to her voting recording including funding abortion/Planned Parenthood, voting for the $700M debt bill, giving Keith Ellison’s office a budget increase, funding a LGBTQIA+ council with millions of tax dollars, and voting for every single corrupt, unconstitutional omnibus bill contributing to the 2nd largest budget in Minnesota history. However, many of those votes and positions would not make her uniquely liberal in the current field of GOP Governor candidates (Kristin Robbins, Scott Jensen, and Kendall Qualls for a few examples).
While Demuth has fallen short from a true hardline conservative record in office, she can step up to the plate and deliver for conservatives by holding up Walz’ gun grabbing agenda. Conservatives may have reason to question Demuth’s strong rhetoric at the MNGOP State Central meeting because she and other legislative leaders were reportedly optimistic on reaching a “public safety deal” for a special session but she also “doesn’t think” the votes are there for gun control. We should KNOW that Republicans won't cave on gun control, not just think that is what will happen.
Republicans don’t have a single vote to spare in the House so this special session will be a real test of Demuth’s leadership. The state Senate, which currently has two vacancies (one blue seat, one red seat) and those vacancies will not be filled until November. Legislation requires 34 votes in the Senate which means at least one Republican would also have to side with Democrats for gun control to pass. GOP Senate leader Mark Johnson must have all GOP Senators opposing leftist gun control.
Conservatives must ensure that Demuth keeps true to her word at the State Central Committee convention and does not cave on gun control. A4L will keep a close eye on a potential special session and keep Patriots in the know. Our Constitutional Rights are non-negotiable and we cannot cave an inch to the radical left when they’ve shown their cards and want us dead.
There would more benefit from recognizing that there are two religious doctrines being taught in public schools that devalue human life. One is that “all things happen only by natural causes.” This implies that there is no higher power to whom one must give account – it is really a formulation of atheism, disguised as “science.” It cannot be demonstrated by empirical scientific methods. The other is practically a corollary to the first, that “humanity is nothing special, people are just another product of evolution.” The conclusion that students may draw from these teachings is that they can do what is right in their own eyes – including violently attacking others. Another conclusion is this life is all that there is, and the best one can hope for is to be remembered by others. This may cause despair and depression, or narcissistic exhibitionism. At its worst, it leads to murder-suicide in an effort to be memorable.
The Legislature should require that both teachings be clearly identified to the students as dogmas of the Secular Humanist religion, and are not scientific findings.
