Minnesota Democrat Pushes $200K in Annual Taxpayer Gifts for Gun Control Groups
Minnesota state Senator Jeff Hayden (DFL-62) is pushing legislation to designate $200,000 in taxpayer funds as annual gifts to gun control groups.
In a press conference to announce the legislation, Hayden thanked Michael Bloomberg-funded Moms Demand Action for their “organizing power.”


text of the bill says:

This act may be cited as the “Taylor Hayden Gun Violence Prevention Act.” To reduce the number of injuries and deaths of innocent individuals in the community and to increase community safety, the commissioner of human services shall develop a competitive bidding process to award grants to nonprofit organizations with expertise in gun violence prevention. A nonprofit organization awarded a grant must use the money for gun violence prevention or public awareness and education campaigns on gun violence prevention.

Great. Does this mean an equal amount will be going to pro-gun groups?

Says its designated for groups with goals of reducing injuries and death from guns. Sounds like the "eddie eagle" program should put in a bid to me. With a Trump official evaluating the bids I am sure that they can tell that the NRA will spend the money more effectively than the Bloomberg goons.

Government should not be giving stolen money to people or groups. They could be arrested for possession of stolen goods.
