Minnesota Governor-elect Amy Klobuchar is already drawing fire for remarks suggesting she will erode Second Amendment rights once she takes office.
The longtime Democrat senator won the gubernatorial election last week, easily beating Republican Lisa Demuth in the solidly blue state, and will replace scandal-drenched “Tampon” Tim Walz, who had become a mockery.
Klobuchar’s recipe for success was based on the perception that she is a moderate, but an early push for gun control measures has some suggesting that she is just another wild-eyed leftist who deceptively packaged herself for voters.
In one of her first acts as governor-elect, Sen. @amyklobuchar affirmed that she will go after Minnesotans’ firearms under the guise of “safety.”

“The gun safety bill is going to get passed, and I am so excited to be working with the leaders on this, and it certainly should be one of our top priorities,” the incoming governor said during a press conference. “I think that bill makes a lot of sense. I’m sure that we’ll make some changes … but the basics of that bill I hope will remain in place.”
The incoming governor was referring to the omnibus gun control package that squeaked by the state’s Senate earlier this year by a 34-33 margin but has yet to be voted on by the Minnesota House.
According to Fox News, “The measure would prohibit federally licensed firearms dealers from selling certain semiautomatic military-style assault weapons, including AR-15s, as well as large-capacity magazines capable of holding more than 17 rounds.”
If it becomes law, the bill would permit current firearm owners to keep their guns and magazines, but they would be forced to get a certification of ownership from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension that would have to be renewed every three years.
“Knowingly possessing an uncertified weapon or magazine would be a gross misdemeanor, with a subsequent violation punishable as a felony,” Fox News reported.
Klobuchar’s prioritizing of a crackdown on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Minnesotans drew heavy fire from X users.
Democrats don’t care about affordability. They only care about taking away our Second Amendment rights.
Amy Klobuchar can’t contain her excitement as she goes after law-abiding gun owners.

“Democrats don’t care about affordability. They only care about taking away our Second Amendment rights,” wrote one prominent conservative commentator and influencer. “Amy Klobuchar can’t contain her excitement as she goes after law-abiding gun owners.”
Others wondered about the Democrat’s real agenda when she should instead be devoted to rooting out the rampant fraud that has taken place under the nose of the disgraced Walz.
.@amyklobuchar why are you babbling about gun control? Instead you should be coming out with your plan to stop government fraud and lowering taxes. But you can’t do that you have to come out attacking & trying to violate lawful gun owners constitutional rights. @MinnesotaMiners https://t.co/qzcKwIqkc4

Why fight fraud in your state when you can instead go after the constitution?

She campaigned on cleaning up fraud… her first action is going after guns.
This is the democrat party

So much for going after fraud on day 1? Fuck her!

More reactions to the so-called “moderate” and her support for the Democrat anti-gun agenda.
I’m sure the Somalis and other Muzzies will be first in line to do so. What an ignorant twat waffle.

Why would they go after fraud? They’re the ones benefiting from it. Going after guns is smart. Regular folks won’t have anything to protect themselves with.

Klobuchar may have sold herself as a moderate, but Minnesota’s new governor is a left-wing radical to the core – they all are.
