Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar says that she comes at gun safety legislation from the perspective of: “Would this hurt my Uncle Dick in the deer stand?”
Appearing Monday night at a CNN town hall in New Hampshire, the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate says her state values the outdoors as well as hunting and fishing.
She says banning assault weapons wouldn’t hurt her Uncle Dick in the deer stand, nor would background checks.
Her voice broke as she recalled the mother of a Sandy Hook school shooting victim describing how her little boy died in the arms of his school aide.
Klobuchar says, “We should join the majority of Americans and actually many gun owners in having the courage to pass common sense gun safety legislation.
“Would this hurt my Uncle Dick in the deer stand?”
She’s good. It doesn’t bother me that she’s tough on staff either.
I don’t see a thing in the article that justifies “emotional,” other than “her voice broke” regarding Sandy Hook. Well, so what? Woman shows humanity! Gasp!
She sounds pragmatic and realistic. AP sucks, but TPM wrote the headline.
Finally, a dem that answers this essential question in a way that the righties can’t mock. I like her.
Amy is the “Real Deal” and we here in MN have had the pleasure of her service in the Senate since 2006.
She does not suffer fools (see her cross-examination of that sniveling coward Kavanaugh) and demands that her staff work as hard as she does, big woop. I LIKE that in her.
Anyone who mistakes her “Minnesota Nice” for weakness is in for a big surprise.
She is the quintessential “Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove” and the mere fact that she scares the living shit out of the Trumpsters gives me hope.
Go Amy. Go Amy. Go Amy.
