And….. action

If only you knew someone there that could handle this task.

Crime scene photos sent to all of Congress including staffers could make an impact

Please call the special session. Make the heartless stand up and say we care more about guns than we do about your children. I know too many Minnesotans will agree with then, but the time has come force them to take sides.

It is long past time for that, but there needs to be serious action taken to overthrow this coup first.

Hey Tom Emmer - more thoughts and prayers?

That time came long ago.

❤️ . Action plan?

Overdue, nationwide. Republicans will bow to the NRA every single time; they have for decades. people.com/politics/the... It's a very long list www.newsweek.com/republican-s... The GOP is evil.

Try getting rid of assault weapons Trump style: invent your own laws and carry them out quickly, before the case against can get to the SC. Try it. It’s a great trump troll in any case.

It is time for you to consider running on the 2028 Presidential ticket (provide we have elections then). You are widely admired and supported!

Be a leader. Ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines

Yeah, that will stop the bad guys....🙄 How will the ban be enforced? What's the point of banning high capacity magazines? Make it make sense. Define an assault weapon without looking it up.

Assault weapons are military weapons, but semi-automatic. Designed for those lacking in self esteem. High capacity magazines increase casualties. A ban is needed as they can be designed for use with traditional semi-auto weapons.

The ban will be enforced by ICE coming to get them. They’ll break your car windows, break into your home, arrest you in court or work. What’s the point of having high capacity magazines at home? We are talking about children being killed.

Why were we able to address ghost guns so quickly? Should we sell opiates over the counter? Should we sell alcohol to kids? Should we get rid of drivers licenses and seat belts?

I’m guessing ghost guns don’t make any money for gun MFRs? They can eliminate competition like

Lots of very good points... of course none of our politicians never addressed them... and here we are.

This shooter wasn't a 'bad guy' until he was.

When people show you who they are, believe them. It should frightened every parent that Republicans are more concerned about reducing the age of consent to 12 year old. While taking away healthcare, abortions, childcare, food assistance and education. And doing NOTHING about school shootings.

At the nations capital as well. Clean House!?!?!!!!!!!

Until there are laws against bribes, money will win... the people will lose. If "you" don´t attack the root of the problem.. it will just grow back.

Good luck

It's time to take action. Period. All of you, USAmericans. As a European I live in horror with your Moscow-loving Traitor in the White House.

Won’t hold my breath.

Hey Tim, you see this? Hmmm. Feels more like a Minnesota thing to me.

It’s about 20 years late…

No morone it’s time to arm ourselves from this tyrant trump and distributes the necessary weapons to take back our country

At the nation’s capital too

It’s way past time….

#BanTheAmmo

Past time, but YES.

Beyond time

YES!!

Why is he, the pedophile, crook, sexual deviant, migrant kidnapper President who is not a King the only one that can take serious and continuous illegal actions in ALL that he does and we, the honest and law-abiding people cannot? Fight the bully back, violence isn't needed. We have rights.

🤣😂 Moron!

Hi, Can you get a BolaWrap and large mace cans installed next to all fire extinguishers in public spaces? Make it an OSHA enforceable law for businesses to provide these tools for the public to defend themselves from people trying to kill them and the people in that building Give fighters to tools

It’s BEEN time

*Past time

Set the standard Tim

Yes

It was time 20-30yrs ago. You people won’t do anything. Americans LOVE their school shootings bc it makes them nostalgic for Columbine; which is basically NRA Christmas. Pathetic.

How about at the federal capitol

Please!

End the Republican party and you have a better chance at preventing even more guns deaths Republicans are traitors to everything good and decent Its ridiculous that Americans dont treat them like the terrorists they are

WAY PAST TIME, COACH!

What is the most immediate impactful thing within the Governor’s power?

It’s way past time Gov. Walz

We need this administration out. And, we need to take the House and Senate. Every single day, we wonder if our children will be safe.

Don’t talk just do it.

It's the guns, stupid GOP.

Put it on the ballot. Elected officials have proven over and over they are incapable of getting anything done.

Thank you Governor!

Love you, Governor Tim!

I feel like we've heard these exact same words murder, after murder, after murder, after murder, after murder....it's fucking sickening how unmotivated you are no matter how many people are killed every day. That's not even mentioning the mental illness epidemic you created for Americans.

It will never happen. Too many people love their guns more than their neighbors to ever give up the idea of killing everyone around them.

Chinese residents are not allowed to touch guns, and violators will be sentenced to three years in prison

Nope. It's long past time to take action.

when the ship is sinking, shouldn't it be "schools and churches first"?

No it was time in 1999 after Columbine.

☝️this. this this this ☝️

if it didn't happen by now, it will never happen. in America, guns are more precious than children.

just show them your Purple Heart where you got shot in the PX

Now it’s time..? How long have mass shootings been happening in the US?

They will tell you that you just need to pray harder. And what's the problem they were going to heaven anyway.

Ask yourself if the Minneapolis story makes sense. Ask yourself if same gender 'parents' makes sense too. This website is available to the entire planet.

For sure. Talk numbers.

It was time to take seriously after Columbine. Half the country does take it seriously. The other half doesn't. The doesn't side is winning.

How many gun violence incidents have you heard of in the province north of you They have gun controls

Can we get some examples of what can actually be done? What new laws or regulations can be implemented to prevent such tragedies?

Enacting and ENFORCING Red Flag laws for a start. Blaming a gun for this is like blaming silverware because you got fat. No law, ban, prohibition etc will stop bad people from doing bad things with guns.

I guess this needs to be circulated again as we watch this cycle repeat itself…

The sad thing is that whatever laws are passed to alleviate gun violence, some nutjob group will file a lawsuit and the scum-scotus will overturn it.

Please address this cultural issue adequately, the party thats so pro life always tosses away their moral values the second they can make a profit w firearms :(

Buyback schemes across the world have proved to be the most effective method of reducing guns. As a leader, show leadership this way

Do it for your state if you can, fuck those gun loving, money loving assholes!!!

Ha ha ha. Very funny.

AS FUCKING IF

No GOPer will do a thing. But we should try because we need a record for history

but don't make the mistake of disarming right before a planned military take over, you know this, start with some common sense things but don't totally disarm until this is over

Meanwhile...

Yup, it all comes down to the fact y'all need to pray a little harder

Slightly awkward that the the murdered children were literally praying at the time.

Ironic even, from an atheïst stance

We HAVE had shootings at schools in Canada…but infrequently

I can't recall us ever having a shooting in an elementary school. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You could be right. I found a bunch of stats but it doesn’t break it down to elementary/secondary.

We UNFORTUNATELY have TRUMPERS here in canada,,, to me they ARE the Republicans up here in canada

Maple MAGA is alive and well here in Canada. Look at Alberta. I suggest you fix this meme.

It's time to take serious action against fascism.

Registration Holding period Ammo types Online stores that sell equipment to alter Rifles and pistols Magazines holding over 25 rounds More

Form 4473 already being used. Waiting periods in many states already. Ammo types? Explain please. You can 3D print gun parts. Banned parts like magazines? I guess the bad guys will just obey huh?

Laws are rarely preventative. Once caught Laws get added to the prosecution's case. Changing human behavior is tougher still.

Why can’t states codify a law that makes people living under the laws of the state, citizens of the state. Therefore ICE would have to follow state laws in accosting “ citizens” of a sovereign state.

No it isn’t That was decades ago

Is Donald dead, Uncle Tim? Cause… it's looking like it 🤣

WAYYYYY past time Gov.

Ban NRA lobbyists.

Uh, it's way past time. Here's hoping that something can really be done this time.

Wonder if a gunman obliterated all the sitting Republicans whether that would change the rests minds … or would they just cheer and give that person a medal?

Should be given

It's. The. Guns. 💯 //SIGNED// Me US Army & USAF, Retired (25yrs) Registered Gun Owner (the sane kind)

Notice that the US and the place we illegally send firearms to, Mexico, are at the top of the list for gun violence.

Yep, Mexico has cartels outside government. US is run by a cartel.

It's not just the guns it is the whole culture around them

Precisely!

HOOFUCKINGAH!

I'm all for EFFECTIVE gun laws. What do you suggest?

Do it and be serious about it and follow through with it. We are all (most of us anyway) waiting……

You already have pretty much universal background checks, even at gun shows. I don’t think there’s a whole lot you can do on that front.

don't just talk. DO IT.

Better late than never.

Pardon my colorful language, but it's appropriate. bsky.app/profile/dumm...

Absolutely!💯 %

The trouble is anyone with a heart and mind says that after the latest horror and then nothing is done. I am Canadian but I support you and think you are a bright spot in a slowly dimming world. Please do something.

Way past time.

Hello Governor, can you shout a little bit louder? This is important!

I know Dems hate hearing it ain’t the guns, but it’s not. It’s all the hate that is being spewed out. So it’s either the right reacting to the rights lies or it’s the left responding to the hate they hear about themselves! Sometimes free speech can be just as harmful as the guns used!

Sure, but why not make it harder to get the guns too? Why not make a longer waiting period? Why not stop selling AR-15s? How about limiting ammo types sold? Banning ghost guns? Raising prices and taxes on specialty parts that could cause mass damage? Why not both?

Everyone is right. It’s both people and guns. But we can only control the guns.

No it’s just people yes guns makes it easier but just ask Jeffery McVay how many kids can be killed without a gun! As a 58 year old Vet that grew up in the 70s hearing all the hate and racist so called jokes that white people said about others. It’s HATE PURE AND SIMPLE!

You are absolutely right that the core of the problem is hatred.

Thank you. People really believes it’s guns. Guns are necessary to have for when a Tyrannical regime shows their face so it can be stopped like times like NOW. If people would just live and let live everyone would actually be so much happier!

You are absolutely right. We all hope that people can live in harmony, so as to avoid many quarrels. However, the reality is not what we want. There are always bad people, but there are also good people. Did you take your grandchildren out to play this weekend?

We’re considering the gun violence problem here, so let’s stay focused. I don’t think anyone disagrees that hate is a cause of gun violence. Our task is not to establish the cause, but a solution(s). Can we fix hate in one years time? Impossible. Can we control guns in that time? With will, yes.

Argue about solutions, sure. Arguing about known problems/causes is impotent. How do we save as many lives as possible, as fast as possible?

@governorwalz.mn.gov Here’s an effort you should be leading: A bold move to resolve the gun violence crisis is to overturn the SCOTUS 2008 Heller decision.

It's way past time, but you can't change the past. It's time to make the future safer for all.

Said politicians after every single mass shooting.

... The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Would fix The Constitution to at least say what was originally intended, and be one step closer to ending this madness.

And we know this was the intention because gun laws were in effect while our founding fathers were alive. Cities and states had gun laws while our founding fathers were alive, and people have been fighting to get them removed, meaning they were there... ... How does anyone think they were there?

Everyone just understood the, "by the Federal Government," part, so they didn't think to write it down. It felt obvious to them. The Constitution was a contract between the states The Federal Government was formed from that contract The states didn't want The Federal Government to be dictatorship

Lindsay Graham in 2024 scolded Social Media CEO’s at a Senate hearing that they “have a product that’s killin’ people”. But GUN MANUFACTURES? They get the silent treatment. And Republicans vote NO against every common sense gun legislation bill. Shameful hypocrites; an utter disgraceful bunch.

Yes! Finally. We need MN Republicans to step up, because there are ones who know it is the right thing to do but have been afraid.

Replacing Schumer and Jeffries would be a good start

The Founding Fathers addressed this at the right time. It's been ignored ever since...

I think I'm almost ready for you to be my governor. Abbott clearly doesn't want me here.

as a Minnesotan, I am thankful that we have Tim Walz as a governor.

I did exactly that last year. No regrets other than missing HEB sometimes.

Me too only it was me kicking DeSantis to the curb. No regrets other than my favorite apothecary shop being missed, and being able to put beach sand under/in my toes on Christmas and New Year's Day. Shoulda grabbed some on the way out the door, honestly; everything else can be replaced and has been.

Same situation for me. Though I don't mind all of the rocks & gatorless bodies of water. Can still find some sandy lake shores, just no humid & very warm Christmas. I'm happy to walk around somewhere that is loud about loving each other and being whomever one is. Helps me hold to hope for my home.

I got fortunate and had Christmas with all four of my boys for the first time in 15 years last go-round. That was pretty good enough for me.

Awh, that's awesome! I'm glad you all were able to be together for the big family holiday.

Wherethe f*ck have you been for the last 40 YEARS?????

Understatement of the century. Of the last two centuries.

Yesssssss!!!!!

YEAH, but they showed. MAKEUP, more important

It's long past time to take serious action at EVERY level!

Way overdue. I also feel gun violence will not change in this country. Too many people making too much money on war guns.

Honest question: Can states set their own sales taxes on guns, ammunition and accessories? Like, 1000%? Gun taxes would go into a special fund for medical and mental health expenses for victims, and mental health services for troubled youth.

Probably. Although I see people making trips out of state for their ammo to avoid taxes, like people do with liquor and cigarettes, it certainly would make some think twice.

Gotta do what you can. There are always going to be criminals trying to game the system.

Yeah, if you can buy a gun off the radar, you'd probably get the ammo that way, too.

This sounds like a good idea.

No that happened already, member? They did nothing but thoughts and prayers, and blame the Dems

I’m all for getting guns off the streets but could you also focus on the unhealthy relationship with fear that has people holding onto guns like teddy bears?

Gun violence... Too late for that I'm afraid, we are under martial law...

Every state should have similar laws to Massachusetts. Thousands of lives would be saved every year.

Answers coming soon ,,Trump just truthed

Don't stop Tim it's working

x.com/RealEllieMae... How about this Tim

x.com/MikeBenzCybe... Here is something to think about Tim.

I wonder where the US is.

Now this makes perfect sense

The reason is, their minions will always have the guns for controlled chaos, while law abiding citizens will be denied. Guns laws aren't doing any good in Chi-town. The NG will clean that city up.🎉

How about a little honesty first🤡

That would work

Wake me up when someone stones a room full of children. Get the difference now, idiot?

How does an underage transgender sicko get a $10,000 arsenal.

Wasn’t underage kiddo. Sounds like you were lied to. Again. What other bullshit did you fall for?

You're right, how does a transgender sicko get a $10,000 arsenal?

Where is the proof it was a $10k arsenal? Most likely an idiot parent.

x.com/ReduxxMag/st... Maybe if you moved out of your momma's basement you would wise up.

lol. Providing a X link and accusing someone of having to leave the basement. It’s always projection.

Reduxx video I'm not on reduxx and can watch it,, pussy

We’ve already addressed the supposed arsenal and you ran away again.

Ever hear of someone crashing a plane you numb skull

Yes. Do you have a plane? They’re not easy to get. You illiterate product of incestuous toilet play.

Still no stoning?

Laws were broken to set this kid up, as every school shooter was. If it wasn't guns these people would find a way.

Murder wouldn’t go away. Mass murder would. That’s the point that flew over your empty head.

All of those are mass murder, name one that isn't

The very first one. Stoning.

🏆 I'm going to give you my trophy as the biggest Knuckle Head of the month.🏆

I accept your surrender.

Your point was that mass murder would go away, it wouldn't. I've thought of examples of the past. The stone is in the Bible as the first murder. There were videos of knuckles heads like you that were breaking curbs with sledge hammers and dropping them off overpasses, you could kill a couple.

In meaningful amounts it would. For the reasons I already stated. Why don’t you see any mass murders by stoning? That was your first claim. You still refuse to answer that. Which is why you’ve lost the debate.

All these examples are real world events and are perpetrated by sickos

Real world events that for the most part aren’t mass murder. You still never answered the question.

You can hijack an airliner and kill all on board

You can try. You’ll fail because you’re a moron.

You could start up a program called fast and furious and deliver thousands of military-grade weapons into the cartel of Mexico end up killing hundreds of Americans

What hundreds of Americans? That didn’t happen.

You could leave an open border open and let all the fentanyl in the world come through and kill thousands of people

1600+ mile border is still open kiddo

You could make a u-turn with a semi trailer and kill three people as an illegal alien that doesn't know how to read a road sign

It is more than oblivious you have a undefended notion

Can you say that again in English this time?

Of course you could recruit suicide bombers like they do where there aren't any guns. You could drive into a school bus. You are not even beginning to use your brain if there is one.

So I have over proven mass murder is possible without a gun you have no defense. You could convince people they need a jab, and cause the death rate on all diseases to go up exponentially.

Well, no, you haven’t done that. You’ve listed other less effective means of murder.

You have a very empty head

I’ve destroyed you. You refuse to engage.

Ever hear of someone setting a building on fire.

Listen, if you’re not going to debate, there’s no point.

We haven't finished with your first question you nit wit

You never answered it.

Ever hear of someone poisoning a group?

Only for profit because a Republican cut safety regulations.

Ever hear of someone attacking a crowd with an machete

Ask yourself why that doesn’t happen in the US. Why don’t we see any mass muders with machetes?

Sure. Not mass murder though.

Ever here of someone driving through a crowd you clown

I have. They rarely kill as many people as mass shootings. You inbred sister molesting shitgibbon.

No mass murder would still be possible, ever here of a home made bomb you dick head.

Lock up Gun Felons!

You are absolutely right. Criminals should be punished by law.

You had 100 years time

Yes!!! I'm an educator in MN. Having to do the drills with my young students is scary for them. I always think it's only a matter of time, before it's the real thing. Please, please keep our kids safe!!!! No one uses those semi or automatic guns for hunting. They're for war!

Yeah, the ones carried by the National Guard

Thank you Vice President Walz!

You are the best but we’ve heard this a billion times and nothing ever changes. To me, if Sandy Hook and the stories of those tiny 5-year-olds found dead in their dead teacher’s arms didn’t do it, nothing will.

I hate to be the devil's advocate but guns don't actually kill people. People kill people so it's time to get on capitol hill and try harder to not let crazy people own guns. Instead of not doing background checks we do extra more in depth background checks.

You’re getting some very strong feedback on your post. We are allowed to assemble peacefully. No violence !!!!

I believe you left "which is why im drafting legislation..." off your post

No, it’s 30 years too late for the thousands of dead children.

Yessir 💙

I eagerly wait for the link to the PDF of the bill you are proposing.

Minnesota, take action against GUNS. Create an example the nation can eventually follow. Serious action to address gun violence is limiting guns. Anything else is just thoughts and prayers.

Past time, Governor...but better late than never. Please lead your state to make substantive progress, so there is a model to follow.

Unfortunately, now is a terrible time to restrict guns in Minnesota or any state. There may be a time very soon where the they may be needed to protect our rights.

Ya think...

Are you going to talk about it or are you actually going to do something?

Everyone ignores me because I'm Palestinian. Please try to help me a little. 😥🙏 chuffed.org/project/1264...

Everyone ignores me because I'm Palestinian. Please try to help me a little. 😥🙏

Run with it and let them challenge it in court. No assault rifles or large clips as well as background checks, waiting period... And the big one.. possession of an assault weapon is a felony. Make them challenge it. MN can lead the way.

What about those who enable it?!

It is well passed time. It should have been addressed on the federal level a long time ago.

*past

Its been time for 20 years, but people keep voting for representatives who won't address it.

Fewer words. More doing. Please and thanks.

Sadly True

It’s been time for decades now.

OR..Weapons need to be insured, background checks should be extensive & an absolute ban assault weapons.

It was also “the time” the day before these two kids were killed by gun violence… 🤔

it always has been, Tim. This time will be no different.

YES!!!! We also MUST STOP TRUMP and his Regime.

Trump = Bad!👎

If one more person says it’s the gun that kills not the shooter. BS. Guns don’t load themselves. Guns don’t pull the trigger. These idiots need to shut up. It’s a shame that people care more about their guns than they do innocent children and people.

Its WAY past time to address it in this country. Too many children getting killed, in schools and churches, as well as on the streets, in cars, in their own homes.

bsky.app/profile/patr...

Only the illegally deployed military and the secret police should have AR15s. Think of the children.

politicalamericans.com/pres-trump-s...

Perhaps treating mental dysphoria's as a illness rather than indoctrinating students with propaganda legitimizing it things might be different. Trans individuals are committing quite a few shootings well out of their percentage of the population.

More specifically.... c'mon, you can do it. Say #GunControlNOW. Legislate guns! Ban assault rifles! Anything less vague.🤦 Don't leave room for the cruel hypocritical Republicans to say we outlaw video games or antidepressants to "address gun violence". I'm disappointed in you @governorwalz.mn.gov.

Bad guys are well known for following laws and bans. Hurry durrrr.

Then why tf you want to ban abortion? Or gay books, trans people, history books, and practically anything the fragile MAGAt ego feels threatened by?! Your argument is a non-starter. STFU

Ban Assault weapons, and when GOP bitch, then threaten an All Automatic weapons ban. GOP choice how far this goes!

So, how do you enforce a ban? Criminals will ignore the ban and continue to break the law. Anyone that's intent upon doing a mass shooting has not been deterred by a law yet. See a theme yet?

Less apt to shoot when there is nothing to shoot with! If your not part of the solution, then you too are the problem. Makes it easier to stay away if kept away.

It's easier to buy a gun than to get a driver's license.

It was time many years ago and you’ve done nothing.

I wonder if action would be taken if someone managed to smuggle a weapon into the Capitol and open fire on Republicans. Obviously if that ever did happen I would send thoughts and prayers.

If it did & even if the person was white their action would be to work faster at the cleansing of the US. Nazi Felon, Nazi Republicans desire is to get rid of everyone who isn't white, cisgender, heterosexual, christian nationalist. White cis supremacy and white cis privilege is the goal.

I miss you Tim. Your state is lucky to have you.

They're too busy adjusting their AR-15 pins to care.

Future news; "In another authoritarian move, the Trump administration tells states they have no authority to enact gun laws and that all laws restricting access to guns, enforcing a wait time, or lawfully denying access are to be struck down." You can't win as long as he's in power.

Eat my entire ass.

Well, you're the gov. Maybe you know someone who can do that.

Quit supporting hate, bullying, and discrimination like our society currently does. POLITICIANS and political parties quit running on fear tactics, driving fear and hate. Those will go a long ways.

It was time a very long time ago

so the trans that shot up a catholic school was a republican? thats your take?

what you need to do is follow the laws that were passed yrs ago for a person to buy a firearm. there is a section that is for evaluation. that does not happen. why because it cost money. and that takes away from all the other funding we don’t need. truth is the truth guns don’t kill. people do

trump is gobbling up our government as we speak. FOCUS.

Absolutely!

Do it, and ignore whatever bs ruling SCOTUS retaliates with. After all, Trump is ignoring their rulings now. States need to get more independent about governing...

And when Trump sends the illegally deployed military and secret police to enforce the Supreme Court’s order against your state, y’all can defend yourselves with whatever anemic weapons you decided not to ban.

Apparently, they’re gonna take $110 million and give it to someone like Joel Osteen

How far are you thinking to go, Governor?

The best way to do that is to get the full unredacted Epstein client list published and the orange turd along with his entire illegal regime thrown deep into jail.

At this point do you really think releasing the Epstein files matters. trump is all over it and nothing will be done. The only thing that will get Trump is mother nature ... the cycle of life and as soon as that happens Vance is in office. Who is his puppet master? Peter Thiel. I need a drink.

Visual evidence has a way of sticking with people for a long time.

Honestly, stop saying that. It’s not going to change. Just like America has accepted that we’re just going to destroy the planet and wipe Palestine off the face of the earth, America have decided mass shootings are fine. Aside from a handful of gems like you, this nation is rotten to the core.

With all due respect, the time was 13 years ago immediately after the Sandy Hook Massacre.

Columbine was 25 years ago. 💔💔💔

Zero weapons in the Minnesota State Capitol!!!
