# Leftists Trying to Destroy the Rule of Law in Minneapolis
In a stark display of how progressive policies erode the foundations of civilized society, Minneapolis is once again ground zero for leftists’ assault on the rule of law. According to a recent *Bearing Arms* video report, activist groups and city officials are pushing to dismantle key legal safeguards, including aggressive moves against self-defense rights amid skyrocketing crime rates. This isn’t hyperbole—footage shows protesters demanding the abolition of cash bail, defunding police further, and even shielding violent offenders under the guise of equity. It’s the same playbook from the 2020 riots that torched the city after George Floyd’s death, where lax prosecution let arsonists and looters walk free, turning neighborhoods into no-go zones.
For the 2A community, this is a flashing red warning light. When rule of law crumbles—cashless bail systems releasing repeat offenders without accountability, police morale in the gutter, and DAs like Hennepin County’s Mary Moriarty prioritizing criminals over victims—law-abiding gun owners become the last line of defense. We’ve seen it play out: Minneapolis violent crime spiked 25% post-2020 reforms, per FBI stats, with homicides up 50% in some years (Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension data). Leftists framing armed self-defense as vigilantism isn’t just rhetoric; it’s a direct threat to your Second Amendment rights. If prosecutors can no-bail a carjacker one day, what’s stopping them from targeting you for daring to protect your family with a firearm? This chaos incentivizes more concealed carry permits—Minnesota saw a 20% jump since 2020 (state DPS records)—proving armed citizens fill the void left by gutless governance.
The implications ripple nationwide: If Minneapolis falls further into anarchy, expect copycat policies in blue cities like Portland or Chicago, priming the pump for federal gun grabs under the pretense of public safety. 2A patriots, this is your call to action—support pro-law enforcement candidates, amplify voices like *Bearing Arms*, and keep that EDC loaded. The left’s war on order is a war on your right to self-preservation; don’t let them win by staying silent. Check the full *Bearing Arms* video [here](link-to-video) and arm yourself with the truth.
