(VIDEO) Hennepin County Attorney Shares His Thoughts on Gun Violence Prevention

Mike Freeman appears in his latest Justice Minute video.

Editor's Note: The following was taken from a Hennepin County Attorney's Office newsletter.

The issue of preventing gun violence is very personal for me, as it is for many of you. I recently recorded a video to talk about some of the ways we're working to address this problem at the Hennepin County Attorney's Office. I hope you watch it and share your thoughts.

I agree with the Practical Prosecutor's Package. Personally, I am anti-gun and would be for any gun and ammunition control proposed. Thank you.

If we can finally rid the people of guns as a means of security, they will inevitably be reliant on us for all services, and all they need in life-security, health, food. These people's guns are one of the most important obstacles we face. How on earth will we finally make our population dependent entirely on us? If we can take all the guns away, we can set the ENTIRE agenda. We can even tell them how to THINK (which vwe've begun)! RISE AND JOIN US! Our master-plan is nearly complete! Just let the people think they are safer disarmed and reliant on US!! We can direct everything once these pesky GUNS are only OURS.
RIGHHHHHT....?

Now you are just being silly.

Mike Freeman never met a camera he didn't like.
In Chicago, the Democrat Party has only succeeded in taking away the guns of law-abiding citizens and letting the hoodlums and criminals run loose. In Hennepin County, the Democrat Party would like to follow the failed example of Mayor Emmanuel.

I would love to see Dunn Brother's come back. The parking is the major problem. But I hope theyRead More don't utilize the idea to eliminate lanes on Lyndale. It is already like driving behind a funeral procession - often as slow as 15-20 miles an hour. It is so annoying.

The fact that the parking lot is hidden makes it appear as though there is little parking, and IRead More think that hurts business there. I think Dunn bros would be awesome but the store is too small for them... The bean roaster would take up 1/2 the store...

That's good advice. Also keep in mind that your reactions to the event probably won't be imitatedRead More while your children are young. But as they grow older, they'll subconsciously remember your reactions and that will greatly influence how they respond to these situations in adulthood. So if you're someone who started swearing at the TV about Muslim terrorists, or you wept for the victims, or you prayed for the souls of the perpetrators, you should expect your reaction to ultimately have far more influence on your child than the discussions mentioned in this article.

Exactly, Chris Mau!!! Kids live what they learn at home. If we treat kids with respect, as well asRead More how we present the facts of life, kids will grow to become empathetic, meaning, they will care and have compassion for the world around them. If they see us cussing out different races, creeds and colors or origins, they will grow up mean, spiteful and cynical. It's all up to US adults people...who's willing to step to the plate and be that example? These children, they are our future....how they grow depends on us.
