Minneapolis City Council unanimously passes gun control ordinance

The Minneapolis City Council unanimously passed a gun control ordinance on Thursday, which includes a ban on assault-style weapons, large-capacity magazines, ghost guns and would restrict firearms in some public places.  The measure's future is unclear, however, because state preemption laws prevent cities from creating their own gun ordinances.

Wait... they weren't ruled out WHY?

I support the second amendment, but this is "oh no".

I can think of a few billionaires who I would never trust with my data, much less a nuke...

When one trusts the environment, guns seem like a bridge too far for some. When #ice comes to town, trust diminishes to the point where guns are on the table again, including the inherent risks.

TWO QUESTIONS:

1) Why is the Brontosaurus in both the "are" & "are not" boxes?

2) Shouldn't we put the #2ndAmendment in the "don't but are" box? 🤔

MAGA freaks out as Trump turns gun-grabber after Minneapolis shootings

MAGA voters thought they were supporting someone who would guarantee their gun rights, but since it has become more convenient for Donald Trump to blame the ICE killing of Alex Pretti on the presence of Pretti's gun, Trump has exposed himself as a squish on the Second Amendment.

Not how I view it, but the optics...

A perfect #2ndamendment storm for racism. My word.

Someone of Mexican ancestry that works for #CBP shot a white guy who was legally armed (and disarmed, we believe).

There are at least a few 2nd amendment folks that will be confused or worse...
