Minnesota Lawmaker Stages 24 Hour Sit-In to Protest Inaction on Gun Control
Minnesota Lawmaker Stages 24 Hour Sit-In to Protest Inaction on Gun Control JOSH BILLINSON | APR 25, 2018 | 4:56 PM commenting iconComment Minnesota Minnesota state representative Erin Maye Quade took matters into her own hands on Tuesday to protest inaction on new gun control legislation.
Maye Quade launched a 24 hours sit-in on the floor of the Minnesota House to protest the lack of votes on gun control legislation:
She was joined through her protest by some of her colleagues:
Even one Republican lawmaker joined the protest:
Throughout her protest, Maye Quade shared the stories of victims of gun violence:
Maye Quade called on her colleagues to consider bills to expand to a system of universal background checks and require the reporting of lost or stolen firearms, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.
If the sit-in doesn’t work, Quade should try a year long hunger strike. And her smirking GDC co-conspiritors should join her.This message has been edited. Last edited by: arfmel,

Minnesota has a huge fishing hunting outdoors industry. How do they propose to square their outdoor industry with this type of regulation?

Typical leftist nonsense. Just another in a very long line of childish tantrums from these crybabies.

It is because they feel disenfranchised by the Trump Administration and that the only Somali Cop was just charged with murder........at least that will be the excuses from the left.
Yep, no one could have seen them forming gangs and engaging in criminal activity.

She is a lawmaker, I wonder how many armed guards protect her workplace and surrounds?

Good chance she is doing this to appeal to her like minded constituents, in the hopes that she will continue to be voted in. It is an easy life, living off the public's money.

My daughters used to throw fits and just sit down with their arms crossed under their scowled little faces. This behavior seemed to stop around 5 or so if I remember correctly.

Quade was a former staffer for Keith Ellison.
Should I remember Ellison for anything?
