If I would have told you, ten years ago, that by 2023 the sitting United States President would use the ‘justice system’ to try to stop a political rival, you would have laughed at me.
It would have been utterly inconceivable.
Nevertheless, that’s exactly what we’ve witnessed over the last six months, the weaponization of our ‘justice system.’
After spending almost $75,000,000 installing Leftist prosecutors across America, George Soros is now unleashing them on President Trump from Manhattan to Atlanta to Miami.
Their goal is obvious: do everything possible to defeat Joe Biden’s top opponent in the 2024 presidential election cycle.
But that’s not their only goal. The Left is also sending a message to gun owners and anyone else who opposes their agenda to destroy America: if we can attack Trump, we can attack you!
(Hunter Biden gets no jail time for a felony gun crime!)
And it doesn’t matter if you think that Trump is guilty as sin, innocent as a lamb, or somewhere in between.
This isn’t about Trump.
It’s about a ‘justice system’ that decides who to target not based on what someone has allegedly done, but based on who that person knows.
Because that’s exactly how things work in Biden’s America.
Just take the case of Hunter Biden.
If you or I posted pictures of ourselves smoking cocaine online while stating on a 4473 firearm form that we are not an unlawful user of drugs, we would be headed to prison for several years.
But because Hunter’s father happens to reside in the White House, he was allowed to plead guilty to this and then enter a pretrial diversion program and avoid any prison time whatsoever!
More than that, days later, Hunter Biden attended a State Dinner at the White House with the Prime Minister of India!
This double standard is appalling. And it’s sent the loud message that the Biden Crime Family is above the law, while reminding all of us that the Left can come after any one of us.
Sadly, that goes doubly true for state level gun rights organizations that are working to stop gun control!
Drunk on power after seeing the DOJ drag President Trump into court, state Attorneys General, state Secretaries of State, and Leftist lawmakers are declaring open season on gun groups.
In Washington State, the Secretary of State is trying to close the doors of the Second Amendment Foundation, angry that they are suing to block the state’s new AR-15 ban.
In Tennessee, where Gov. Bill Lee is trying to pass ‘Red Flag Gun Seizures’ right now, Democrat lawmakers are trying to silence Tennessee Gun Owners for lobbying against the bill.
In Georgia, after Georgia Gun Owners passed Constitutional Carry last year, the Senate Rules Chairman vowed to use his contacts to spark a criminal investigation against the group.
And in Wyoming, the Secretary of State recently tried to silence Wyoming Gun Owners by giving them an ultimatum: stop attacking gun grabbers or give us a list of your members!
Each one of these ‘investigations’ is motivated by power hungry politicians (or worse, unelected bureaucrats) who want to use the power of their office to silence political opposition to make it easier for law abiding gun owners to be disarmed.
Even if the organizations above prevail, it will consume massive amounts of time and money to clear their name.
Honestly, I think that’s the goal of these ‘investigations’ in the first place.
Just by forcing the organization to shift focus from fighting for gun rights to fighting to prove their innocence from bogus ‘charges’ the Radical Left wins.
And that’s why I think it’s only a matter of time before Minnesota Gun Rights is ensnared in another costly legal fight.
You see, after passing Red Flag Gun Confiscations and Universal Background Checks, Walz and the DFL in St Paul feel invincible.
That’s why they’re talking about passing a BAN on AR-15s and similar rifles next year, if they can get away with it.
Before that happens, I need to hear from you.
This is a member driven organization. It always has been.
If (and presumably when) we are hit with another legal attack that would limit our ability to fight to against Walz’ AR-15 (and more!) ban, how should I proceed?
In case you haven’t heard, our allies in the capitol are telling MGR that a FULL BAN on AR-15s is “on the table” in the upcoming legislative session and it has the full support of Governor Walz!
The ‘assault weapons’ ban was only tabled in the past because the Democrats didn’t have control of the legislature.
But those days are over.
The radical Left is enraged that gun voters flipped the House in Congress making it unlikely that they can ban AR-15s at the federal level –that’s why the Democrats in St Paul are likely going ‘all in’ to try to ban them here in Minnesota!
If we don’t fight back, and RIGHT NOW, this bill could be on the Governor’s desk and signed into law in the blink of an eye. We can’t let that happen!
The goal of this legislation is simple: evil tyrants like Tim Walz want to disarm their political opposition just like tyrants throughout history have done!
These people are pure Marxists who want absolute power; we experienced that first-hand in 2020. But these thugs can’t rule over an armed population. That’s why they MUST pass this bill.
As things stand today, I intend to throw ALL of MGR’s political muscle into fighting against this legislation if (when?) it comes for a vote. But the Democrats know this, and if they drop ANOTHER one of these legal attacks on us, we’re going to be in trouble.
After the expensive 2022 election cycle and the equally draining 2023 legislative session, we simply don’t have the time/money to fight to stop the gun bans AND defend ourselves against a bogus legal attack on our organization.
So I need you to tell me what to do:
OPTION #1: Should I ignore the likelihood of a legal assault on MGR, hope for the best, and put all our efforts into stopping the so-called “Assault Weapons Ban” next year?
OPTION #2: Should I just give in to the threats that will likely come from these gun-grabbers, put our program to stop gun control on pause, and focus our resources on defending against these legal threats?
OPTION #3: Or should I fight back on all fronts? Meaning do everything we can to STOP the gun bans while ALSO preparing to defend ourselves from an ‘investigation’ that is designed to silence us?
I know what I want to do. I want to give Minnesotans the DEFENSE of their Second Amendment that they deserve and stop Walz from taking away any more of our freedoms than he already has!
But I don’t have millions of dollars sitting around in the bank like BILLIONAIRE Michael Bloomberg and his pals do and this organization isn’t funded by a mega-donor.
MGR is funded by grassroots gun owners from Worthington to Bemidji and everywhere in between, ferocious defenders of freedom who know that the next generation of gun owners are counting on us to hold the line for them!
But you should know that OPTION #3 just really isn’t an “option” without a massive and IMMEDIATE influx of funds from MGR members and supporters.
I know that’s asking a lot, but the stakes couldn’t be higher. Already Minnesota has lost too much to Walz and the politicians in St Paul!
We can stop their ban on AR-15s.And we can send (another) message to the Democrats and RINOs who control the state.
But it’s not going to be easy and we’re going to have to FIGHT LIKE HELL to get this done.
This legal attack could land at my door at any moment, and we can’t afford to be caught flat footed. I need to hear from you right away!
