Subject: Re: Jon Stewart on guns
despite a relatively low gun homicide rate, guns are very popular in blue MN.

Duh !!

MN has a large variety rural area and many rural residents (just under 50% of total state population). PLUS a significant amount of hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, biking and more outdoors stuff. Many people in the large metro area have rural cabins to enjoy the "not in the city" living.

Funny thing, there ARE times when a weapon comes in useful--bear DO live out there. Now whoda thunk THAT? We know--and know what to do. One does NOT always need a gun.

It is knowing WHEN IT IS APPROPRIATE TO USE A GUN, not just SHOOTING AT EVERYTHING.
