On Fox News Sunday, Shannon Bream asked about the government taking away guns and conducting warrantless searches of the homes of gun owners and Tim Walz replied:

No one is talking about that. I was with my guns yesterday out pheasant hunting with my friends, many of them conservatives, many of them conservative on this. And I just want to be clear on this, the NRA is an organization that I grew up with, was about gun safety. There has been a dramatic shift. I don’t think anybody can argue that, where the NRA went. Especially on things that we can’t even do research on gun violence. And I’ve made it clear that sitting with the Sandy Hook parents, sitting with some of these kids who were in schools where there were school shootings, and having friends that were around these things, had a profound impact on me.

But look, I will defend the Second Amendment, and there’s nothing that we’re proposing, whether it’s extreme-risk protection orders or background checks, that will stop you from owning that. And I think we’re talking about things like trigger locks and things that responsible gun owners do anyway. So look, this is a red herring issue, that we can own guns, protect the Second Amendment, and then our first responsibility is protect our children in society. And I know we can do that. I think this idea of just brushing it off saying, ‘Well, this is just the way things are,’ why would we not research what’s causing this? Why would the gun manufacturers oppose understanding exactly why America is so different than other gun owning countries.

So look, no one’s coming for your guns. I continue to buy them. The Vice President is a gun owner. So many of your viewers are but they also are concerned that we don’t need to see our children shot in schools…The thing is, Shannon, that I’m most concerned with though is, like guns in homes. The number one thing is children getting a gun and shooting themselves. We do education campaigns here. We give out free gun locks. 40,000 of these things at the state fair a couple years ago. Those are legal governors saying, You’re right. We can do some of these things…”

2. Tim talks sense.

The problem is that the access to guns that KILL people is so easy.

If gun owners were made to buy Liability Insurance at an acceptable rate per year for EACH gun owned, they may think twice about having an arsenal and hoard ammo for those guns. Classes on gun use, storage, etc., also required.

Car insurance and Registration are REQUIRED, so should Liability Insurance on guns. The rate depending on the type of gun and caliber of ammo needed.

The more guns one owns, the more they pay to insure and have them registered.

Republicons have swallowed so many lies.
