Hook, line and sinker — we've bought the gun industry's BS
The Minnesota legislature recently passed a "conceal and carry" handgun law.
Pro-gun people have repeatedly stated that people with such permits have not and will not misuse their guns. Minnesota legislators passed and Governor Tim Pawlenty signed into law an extremely liberal statute, despite hearing testimoney at the state house from a man who was wounded in Mankato by a gun permit holder in a restaurant. Permit holders have not and will not injure, threaten or kill people for other than self-defense? It has already happened. Statements to the contrary are lies.
Gun advocates have also continually claimed they needed guns for self-defense. This report clearly shows that according to pro-gun experts themselves, this claim of self-defense is also completely erroneous.
