That’s the plan. How will they blame Republicans and Trump when it fails? Can you imagine giving this training to retail employees making minimum wage? Can you imagine them trying to deal with a big mob coming in to steal? How is a retail watch going to work? They report the info which a lot of retailers no longer bother to report because if the cops bother taking a statement and catching the perp the Soros-style prosecutors will let them go. And then the kiosks. It’s like some sort of Monty Python sketch.

Minnesota governor signs gun safety bills into law: ‘It’s about keeping our kids safe’

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) signed two gun safety initiatives into law on Friday that will establish universal background checks and a process for temporarily removing firearms from those who imminently pose a threat to themselves or others.

Walz signed the measures into law as part of a broader public safety budget bill after it narrowly passed by one vote along party lines in the state Senate last week.

The package includes a red flag law to allow authorities to ask courts to grant “extreme risk protection orders” for a person’s guns to be temporarily taken away if they could imminently harm themselves or other people.

“As a veteran, gun-owner, hunter, and dad, I just signed a red flag law and universal background checks into law, Walz wrote Friday on Twitter. “Basic gun safety isn’t a threat to the Second Amendment – it’s about keeping our kids safe.”

You know what they forgot? Well, that’s to explain how this will protect kids. If the background check system fails because authorities do not enter information that would deny a background, how will universal work? I’m not against requiring everyone who buys a gun, regardless of where and who from, but, they ends up requiring a database of who has what and where, and that’s not the government’s business, and can lead to confiscation. And we see how most red flag laws seem to fail, except where they are used in a frivolous manner and violate people’s Constitutional rights.

So, how does this protect kids? The hell if I know from what they’re saying. Because it’s not about protecting kids. If it was, they’d go after criminals.
