Ben Dorr from MGR pointed out that there was a lone, heroic gun-rights advocate in Wyoming, either a senator or legislator, that worked alone to advance gun rights until he got wonderful gun rights bills passed. He was shunned and punished by the other professional, inside politicians that go along to get along, but he ultimately prevailed. He is a man of rare principle, courage and Churchill like persistence in face of overwhelming opposition.
Ben lamented that if we had one legislator with that rare courage, we would be able to do wonders in Minnesota, but not one Senator and not one Representative has championed gun rights here, let alone showed up at the 2/2/19 MGR gun rally at the Capitol.
That staggers me. That Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus and the NRA-Minnesota did not attend the same rally, and voice full cooperation with and backing for the MGR agenda delineates for gun owners how timid, anti-liberty and sold out are these gun organizations.
Ben got me thinking again. If we want candidates that are constitutional conservatives to run for office in Minnesota---or anywhere--we are going to have to select among our own MGR members and begin to get them to run for office in various state senatorial and representative districts. That is the only way to support, endorse and campaign for candidates for office that we can really trust.Even then we do not want them in the swamp too long, becoming part of the problem. We need to term limit of these Lefties and RINOS.
