Minnesota “Assault Weapon” Ban Dies as DOJ Targets Gun Bans Nationwide

Minnesota’s latest gun-control push failed at the Capitol, but Minneapolis is moving ahead with its own ordinance as DOJ challenges AR-15 bans across the country. 

A few days after the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Hope Walz, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s daughter, shared some thoughts on TikTok.

“Gun control doesn’t just save Democrats’ lives, it also saves Republican lives,” She opines in a selfie. “Um, you’d think we would be at a point now where we could, um, call for some commonsense legislation. But, I don’t know: I don’t know.”

Having watched her dad’s clownish machinations to get the Minnesota Legislature to pass an assault weapons ban, it’s easy to see the apple doesn’t fall from the tree.

In a solid win for gun rights, the fat lady has sung for a ban in this session of the Minnesota Legislature. [The fat lady didn’t sing; she loudly harangued a Republican House member and allegedly made a remark that was both obscene and violent.]
