Just a question (I e-mailed a similar question to the Minnesota chapter of this organization, but they never responded):
How does restricting legal gun ownership for law abiding citizens (via repealment of the MPPA, or whatever will pass for the MPPA next session, and something the Minnesota "million moms" supports) make the streets any safer? Legal gun owners are not the problem, criminals are. If the "million moms" would spend 1/10th the energy working on reducing crime as they do trying to keep trained, law-abiding citizens from having firearms for personal protection, everybody would be better off. Of course, KARE-11 wouldn't cover that.
