A Minnesota lawmaker just dropped a truth bomb on the state's mainstream media, accusing them of ditching journalism for straight-up anti-2A activism—and it's about time someone called it out. The fireworks stem from coverage of Governor Tim Walz's latest gun control push, where outlets like the Star Tribune and Minnesota Public Radio have been churning out hit pieces that conveniently ignore the massive opposition from gun owners, sheriffs, and even some Democrats. Rep. Marion Rarick didn't mince words, blasting the press for masquerading as journalism while selectively amplifying only the voices pushing red-flag laws and assault weapon bans. This isn't subtle bias; it's a full-throated campaign to erode Second Amendment rights under the guise of public safety reporting. Digging deeper, this exposé reveals a pattern that's all too familiar in blue-leaning states: media echo chambers that treat gun control as gospel while blacklisting pro-2A perspectives. Walz's proposals—expanding background checks and banning assault weapons—face fierce pushback from over 70 sheriffs who vow not to enforce them, citing constitutional overreach, yet you'd barely know it from the headlines. It's clever activism disguised as news, folks: frame the debate as common-sense reforms versus gun lobby extremists, and poof—public opinion shifts without pesky facts getting in the way. Rarick's call-out shines a light on how this selective storytelling fuels legislative wins for anti-gunners, much like we saw in New York's SAFE Act saga or California's endless barrage. For the 2A community, the implications are crystal clear: this is a wake-up call to bypass the gatekeepers. Support independent outlets, flood comment sections with sheriff statements and constitutional arguments, and rally behind lawmakers like Rarick who fight fire with facts. If Minnesota's media wants to play activist, let them—it's exposing their hand and galvanizing grassroots resistance. The Second Amendment isn't up for a popularity contest rigged by biased reporters; it's a bedrock right, and stories like this remind us why vigilance (and votes) matter more than ever. Stay armed, informed, and unapologetic.
