Oh shit, Tim Walz.
“I know basic gun safety isn’t a threat to my rights. It’s about keeping our kids safe,” Walz said last month about his evolution on the issue. “I had an ‘A’ rating from the NRA. Now I get straight ‘F’s.’ And I sleep just fine.”
He was beloved by the NRA. When Parkland happened, his daughter was 17. She asked him to do more. I guess he doesn’t do shit by half because not only reformed gun control, he donated all the money the NRA ever gave him to charity, and now has straight Fs. In 2016 he was a ‘top 20 politician for guns’ He turned it that fast.
I know this is the website of catholic guilt structures, but the idea of a politician that changes their mind, doesn’t pretend it was different before, admits he was wrong, and then gets shit done? I adore that.
I did not expect him, so I have not done my learning yet, this was one of the first things I saw. And Damn.
