While arguing against a proposal for safe storage requirements for firearms, Minnesota state Sen. Warren Limmer (R-Maple Grove) contended that rural citizens need guns readily available to deal with cows.

“You even walk too close to a cow, and it’ll take you down and trample you into dust,” Limmer said. “Fumbling around with a lock while a cow or a bull or any other animal is going after your daughter or your son — you can’t fumble around with a key or try and find the lockbox or put your thumb on a biometric key of some sort in your home while the danger is outside. This bill puts those individuals in even more danger.”

    The only thing worse than a Southern Republican is a Northern Republican. Apparently, the party must resort to abducting old white men from the dementia ward, lobotomizing them, and putting them on an amphetamine drip before they find something “suitable” to put behind a podium.
