53. Minnesota Gun Owners Law Center is skeptical of official narrative regarding shooting

Video at link from local Minneapolis Fox news affiliate features a representative of the Minnesota Gun Owners Law Center giving his response to today’s shooting. He’s being very measured with his responses, but there is no doubt he is skeptical of the narrative the Feds are pushing. Their mission statement notes that they are

“dedicated to challenging unlawlful restrictions and advancing the right to keep and bear arms”.

So, some of the Minnesota gun advocates are seeing through the BS being pushed by Fed leadership, which is good.
