Writer’s Note: This article now includes updates addended to the end of this post. Update 2 has details for a free bumper sticker! Update 4 is sort of a summary. No content of the original post will change unless clearly marked as such and noted in the Change Log provided at the end of this page.

Keith Ellison (hereinafter “Ellison”) is abusing his elected position in government for corrupt[1] and illegitimate purposes. For example, Ellison – in his capacity as Minnesota Attorney General (hereinafter “MN AG”) – is currently suing Fleet Farm[2] for selling firearms to two different straw purchasers.[3] However, Ellison’s lawfare[4] against Fleet Farm is meritless[5] (at least) because Fleet Farm complied with all Federal laws during the sales of firearms to those two different straw purchasers[6][7][8] (if the case were otherwise the ATF would currently be completely inside of Fleet Farm’s anus). In contrast, the straw purchasers violated one or more Federal or State laws. For instance, the Federal government obtained convictions against both of the straw purchasers[9] mentioned in Ellison’s lawsuit against Fleet Farm.[10] However, Ellison failed to bring any State criminal charges against both of the straw purchasers that Ellison is citing as a basis for his legal theories in his lawfare campaign against Fleet Farm.[11] Stated another way, Ellison is suing Fleet Farm using baseless[12] legal theories instead of pursuing rock-solid criminal charges[13] against the criminals that Ellison is using as the factual basis for trying to punish Fleet Farm (and other members of the firearm industry, for instance firearm manufacturer Glock). Why is Ellison suing Fleet Farm for selling guns to two people when Ellison cannot even be bothered to bring criminal charges against those very same two people that he readily admits broke Minnesota law?

Further, Ellison is suing Fleet Farm seemingly as cover for Ellison’s own failures to investigate and prosecute gun violence and murders in Minnesota. For example, Keith Ellison allowed one of the aforementioned straw purchasers, Jerome Horton, to obtain and traffic 11 additional firearms (over time spanning more than two months) after Minnesota law enforcement recovered one of Jerome Horton’s firearms at a shooting scene.[14] Jerome Horton was not stopped from obtaining firearms and trafficking those firearms until the Federal government (i.e., ATF) arrested Horton[15] and did Ellison’s job for him. Stated another way, Ellison has entirely abdicated[16] any sane approach as the primary law enforcement officer of Minnesota in order to be a vexatious[17], hyper-partisan,[18] litigant. Accordingly, Ellison is using the MN AG’s Office as a means of lawfare against (at least) Fleet Farm instead of vigorously enforcing Minnesota criminal law against criminals that traffic guns to other criminals[19]. Worse still, Ellison has enlisted the University of Minnesota Law School[20] (using even more taxpayer funds) to assist Ellison in his lawfare campaigns against Fleet Farm (and firearm manufacture Glock). Thus, Ellison has demonstrated a pattern and practice of failing to pursue criminal charges against numerous criminals (seemingly based on ideological[21]/ethnic/religious[22] lines) while simultaneously mismanaging the substantial resources afforded to Ellison as MN AG.

A different (but accurate) way to frame this situation is that it is the Obama-era Fast and Furious scandal, but Ellison is just ignoring the people funneling firearms to murderers and trying to pass the blame onto Fleet Farm and Glock even though he could have stopped those guns from being trafficked if he focused his resources on legitimate purposes (instead of vexatious, hyper-partisan, lawfare against the firearm industry). It isn’t hyperbole[23] if it is true. Ellison is ignoring criminals in Minnesota by failing to bring State criminal charges against individuals that traffic in guns used to kill and maim Minnesotans.[24] Ellison’s incompetence (or corruption – or both) allowed criminals to continue buying guns, and then Ellison has the audacity[25] to try and blame Fleet Farm for selling those guns. Ellison knew (or as described below, had the ability to know) that a firearm recovered at a crime scene was purchased by an individual engaged in behavior that Ellison readily admits are indicators of gun trafficking.[26] However, Ellison’s failure to administrate the MN AG’s Office in any sort of sane manner led him to ignoring all of that information. I (i.e., Anon) have a data request pending with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to determine the current (i.e., updated) status of the 37 firearms purchased by Jerome Horton and Sarah Elwood (so future information on that will be forthcoming).

Ellison is being apportioned[27] responsibility and knowledge[28] of Jerome Horton’s firearm being used in a shooting because Ellison is in a position[29] to use substantial resources in order to investigate gun violence in Minnesota. Instead, Ellison uses the MN AG’s office to engage in hyper-partisan lawfare rather than using his resources to administrate the criminal justice in a remotely sane (or competent) manner. If Ellison were using his resources as MN AG for legitimate purposes (e.g., by coordinating and communicating with local law enforcement regarding notifications of suspicious firearm purchases), Ellison would have been able to learn that Jerome Horton’s gun was recovered at a shooting scene. Additionally, a legitimate use of resources by Ellison (that he refuses to do) would have led Ellison to find that there had been numerous notifications to local law enforcement that Jerome Horton had been purchasing multiple firearms within a specified time period (which triggers a notification requirement under Federal law that Fleet Farm complied with completely[30]). Ellison could have used that information to stop Jerome Horton from buying 11 additional firearms and trafficking those 11 firearms to other criminals. However, Ellison failed to use his resources for any legitimate purpose – and 11 more guns were trafficked to criminals that Ellison has said he has no idea where they are or who has them. Ellison could have stopped the flow of guns through a sane administration of the MN AG’s Office, but Ellison is apparently so blinded by hyper-partisanship that he carelessly allows gun trafficking to continue without any form of serious intervention on Ellison’s part.

Accordingly, Keith Ellison is so focused on vexatious, hyper-partisan, lawfare that he ignores gun violence in Minnesota and allows criminals to traffic guns, to other criminals, that go on to kill and maim Minnesotans. It is for at least these reasons that Keith Ellison must be removed from office. Ideally, Ellison would be barred from any form of public employment whatsoever (in perpetuity[31]).

Writer’s (i.e., Anon’s) Note: This is just an introduction for a multi-part series I intend to write regarding Keith Ellison and his dereliction of duty[32] as MN AG. The remaining (separate) pieces will likely follow this framework:

2. Additional coverage of Ellison’s lawfare campaign against Fleet Farm.

3. Ellison’s lawfare campaign against firearm manufacturer Glock. Ellison is using this litigation as a vehicle to try and ban basically all semi-automatic firearms because it is relatively easy to (illegally) make most semi-automatic firearms (including AR-15’s) fire in a fully automatic manner. Megan Walsh (a D-tier Bloomberg lackey) at the taxpayer-funded UMN Law School’s Gun Violence Prevention Clinic has admitted this is her ultimate goal in life on Twitter before she deleted everything (but I have archived a lot of her especially banal[33] bullshit that is relevant here). Walsh is helping Ellison with both of the Fleet Farm and Glock lawfare campaigns.[34]

4. An explanation of why Ellison has the ability to actually address gun violence in Minnesota (even though Ellison fails to use his ability and resources to do anything meaningful about gun violence like holding criminals to account for their violations of Minnesota law). This   portion will include a discussion of double jeopardy and how Ellison could bring State criminal charges in addition to the Federal charges brought by the US Government (if Ellison were to suddenly become competent).

5. Ellison’s failure to bring criminal charges for violation of Minnesota law against even a single one of the Feeding Our Future defendants that have been convicted of (or charged with) violations of Federal law. He says he helped the Feds with their investigation, but Ellison’s failure to charge a single one of them is an implicit assertion by Ellison that no Minnesota laws were broken even though the scammers used city, county, and state resources to obtain the hundreds of millions in Federal funds (seemingly over half of which left the country and the remainder was spent on luxury items here in the US). Ellison’s citation to Federal prosecutions (like in the Feeding Our Future case) is a miserable attempt by Ellison to shirk[35] responsibility for pursuing violations of Minnesota law with any sort of legitimate vigor[36]. Where are the state criminal charges for the people you had meetings[37] with, Keith?

6. The enlistment of the taxpayer-funded University of Minnesota Law School to assist Ellison in his hyper-partisan lawfare campaign against the firearm industry. As described in Footnote 20 (and the outline of part 3) herein, the UMN Law School is working to undermine fundamental civil liberties which makes UMN Law similar to a parasite that is poisoning its host (since UMN Law is heavily funded by Minnesota and US taxpayers whose liberties UMN Law is now seeking to diminish). Stated another way, the University of Minnesota Gun Violence Prevention clinic is operated by (i.e., comprised of) nothing but sycophantic[38] boot-lickers[39].

7.  Some sort of conclusion and summary with suggestions for making Ellison’s life substantially more difficult. For example, there is a reasonable case to be made for pursuing novel legal theories (recently advanced against Trump) that expose Ellison to personal liability for his corrupt behavior due to actions that seem like equal protection clause violations (i.e., enforcement of KKK act provisions against Ellison and other Democrats that refuse to enforce laws in a good faith manner). We (i.e., me and whoever reads my ‘blog’) can just start throwing shit against the wall and see what sticks like Ellison does if we get the funding for it since it would produce a large amount of lulz[40] and meme magic[41].

Ultimately, I am going to write about what I want and things may take a different path (while working on it in the small amount of free time that I have). I research, write, and operate everything by myself. The overall premise of the content on this website will be related to acerbic[42] journalism and advancement of pro-firearm law – at least for now. The initial series of pieces I intend to write focus on Keith Ellison because he is an especially pernicious[43] shitlib[44] that basically scored an own goal by filing a lawsuit against Fleet Farm that exposes how entirely inept[45] Ellison is and how Ellison mismanages the substantial resources that are afforded to him as MN AG. I have no desire to obtain any financial benefits or personal notoriety from writing here. I just wanna shitpost[46] in my own special safe space (i.e., blog) and advance the positions described above.

UPDATES

Update 2:

For clarity: The content envisioned here will be in a vein similar to constitutional originalism (e.g., as advanced by Antonin Scalia, Ron Paul, or the like) as opposed to any other purportedly “extremely rightwing” views. For instance, the content here will not be 1488 (i.e., alt-right) in nature. The inspiration for the domain name is from LaRue Tactical, which manufactures very high-quality firearms and firearm accessories (e.g., scope mounts). Its owner, Mr. LaRue, is very based.

In an example of the anticipated content here: it is one of my ultimate goals in life to utterly destroy the Metropolitan Council and eliminate its insane amount of unaccountable power in the Twin Cites. In contrast, I am announcing the start of my Stadiums for the Homeless initiative. The Stadiums for the Homeless initiative will advocate for repurposing professional sports stadiums into housing for the homeless population. For example, all existing or future funds related to the implementation and operation of the current stadiums must be redirected, instead, to implementation of Stadiums for the Homeless. Professional sports stadiums already have the necessary infrastructure (and space) in order for conversion into housing. Accordingly, implementation of the Stadiums for the Homeless initiative can use existing public buildings to address America’s homelessness crisis. Every 5 years we can reevaluate the relative cost-benefit-analysis (e.g., moral hazard inducement) and choose whether we want to continue with implementation of Stadiums for the Homeless – or choose another path different than the current status quo (i.e., welfare for the hundred-millionaire-plus club). If it is going well, we can just start repurposing another stadium! Still further, any and all choo-choo-train (i.e. light-rail) funds from destruction of the Met Council will go towards our Stadiums for the Homeless initiative.

You can send an email to the Complaint Box (Update 3, below) with your mailing address and I will send you an exclusive Stadiums for the Homeless bumper sticker free-of-charge! After mailing, I will not retain any of your information whatsoever; and you will never hear from me again. Stated differently, you are not signing up for anything in exchange for the sticker. Accordingly, the Stadiums for the Homeless bumper sticker is truly free.

On a different note, I will readily admit that this all can be viewed as sensationalistic or bombastic. That will not (always) be the case here at https://ExtremelyRightwing.com. My primary intent with respect to those choices is: that I was looking to make a strong first impression and increase the chances of my psychobabble making its way across Ellison’s desk at least once in my life (*fingers crossed*).

I hope that explanation is helpful as you consider the information contained on this website and the perspectives I have to offer 🙂

Update 4:

This will be the final update for a week or so. With respect to the next article in this series, the following hypothetical may be helpful in explaining my reasoning for Ellison’s culpability here:

Ellison, a first firefighter; and a second firefighter (i.e., Fleet Farm) are assigned to a neighborhood to look for any residential fires (i.e., crime). Ellison tells Fleet Farm to go stand at the other end of the neighborhood, and Ellison will stay where he is to watch for fires. As Fleet Farm is going to the other end of the neighborhood, Fleet Farm notices the smell of smoke (i.e., notification to local law enforcement about straw purchases) from neighbors having a barbecue (i.e., a legal gun sale) on Fleet Farm’s side of the neighborhood. While Fleet Farm is preoccupied, Ellison witnesses someone start a house on fire and run away (i.e., August 13, 2021 shooting with Horton’s gun). Instead of connecting his firehose to a hydrant, Ellison stands by and does nothing as the fire spreads to a second home (i.e., continued gun sales to Horton after recovery at the August 13^th shooting) and both of the houses burn down (i.e., another person is shot using a firearm acquired by Horton after August 13, 2021^I). Ellison is irate and goes to the Fire Chief (i.e., a court) and blames Fleet Farm for (at least) the first house burning down and Ellison demands that Fleet Farm must be fired. Ellison’s justification is that: Fleet Farm was unable to discern the difference between smoke from the house fires and smoke from the barbecues (even though Fleet Farm was never even notified of the first house fire). This is all withstanding that Ellison refused to even hook his firehose to a hydrant let alone start spraying water on the fire. This hypothetical exposes the moral depravity of Ellison.

Stated differently, Fleet Farm only has access to the NICS background check system when Fleet Farm sells a firearm, in order to determine if Fleet Farm can sell the firearm to the person trying to acquire the firearm. NICS is operated by the government, based on information submitted by law enforcement. If Ellison were doing his job in a competent manner he could have learned a firearm was recovered at a shooting on August 13, 2021. Additionally, Ellison also could have learned that Horton had already triggered notifications (required of gun sellers under Federal law) before the August 13^th shooting with a gun trafficked by Horton. For example, Fleet Farm and other responsible firearm sellers had already filed 5 notifications to law enforcement regarding Horton before the August 13, 2021 shooting. Further, Fleet Farm and other responsible firearm sellers filed an additional 6 notifications to law enforcement after the shooting with one of Horton’s guns on August 13, 2021. The ATF stepped in and did Ellison’s job for the citizens of Minnesota on October 19, 2021.

It is surprising that Horton was flagged 5 times before one of Horton’s guns was recovered at a shooting scene – and then Horton went and purchased another gun the very next day after that shooting. It is astounding that Horton was flagged by responsible gun sellers an additional 6 times after the August 13, 2021 shooting with a gun trafficked by Horton. Accordingly, Ellison had the opportunity to learn about gun violence in Minnesota caused by a firearm purchased by Horton, and that Horton had already been identified as being suspicious for straw purchasing firearms when the shooting occurred. However, Ellison is incompetent at his job and allowed Horton to continue buying 11 more firearms after the August 13, 2021 shooting. Thus, this situation could be thought of as: garbage in, garbage out – but Ellison just carelessly litters his garbage on the ground so the NICS system with respect to Minnesota will always be ‘garbage out’ (and gun violence in Minnesota will continue unabated).

The facts and circumstances regarding the purchase of firearms by Horton described here show that Ellison operates the MN AG Office in a careless and indifferent manner with respect to gun violence in Minnesota. Thus, Ellison is trying to place Fleet Farm in a no win position because Fleet Farm was chosen as the unfortunate victim for Ellison’s vexatious, corruptly-motivated, litigation campaign. Ellison’s attempt at blame shifting here is the definition of unjust.

Based on the foregoing, I have the following questions for Keith Ellison:

1. How are the NICS background checks going to have any meaningful value when Ellison refuses to do his job by failing to investigate gun violence in Minnesota and submit his work to NICS?

2. How was Fleet Farm (seriously) supposed to know to not sell guns to Jerome Horton when Ellison cannot even be bothered to determine Horton’s gun was used in a shooting and block Horton from buying additional guns using the NICS background check system after that shooting?

Ellison had more than two months to stop Horton from trafficking guns to criminals and failed miserably. For instance, Ellison (presumably) could have put a stop on approvals in the NICS system for Jerome Horton to purchase additional firearms based on one or more of the 5 suspicious firearm transactions before the August 13 shooting. Instead, Ellison’s carelessness let Horton buy (and traffic) 11 more guns over the course of more than two months after law enforcement recovered one of Horton’s guns at the August 13 shooting scene (thereby triggering an additional 6 notifications to law enforcement after the August 13 shooting).

Thank you for reading (at least part of) my Great Wall of Psychobabble! See you in a week or so.

—
[A] I do not have evidence for this assertion at this time. My pending data request with the MN BCA may bring further clarity here since Ellison chooses to selectively present the facts surrounding the fate of all of the guns purchased by Horton or Elwood. However, I am including this assertion for the purposes of the hypothetical outlined above.

[B] Ellison’s Complaint states that Horton purchased 24 firearms from Fleet Farm within a specified period of time. Ellison’s Complaint at 38 (“Fleet Farm sold 24 firearms to Horton in the four-month span between mid-June 2021 and mid-October 2021.”). However, the Federal government states that Horton purchased 9 additional firearms within the specified period of time (from retailers other than Fleet Farm to bring Horton’s total to 33 guns within the specified time period). Of those 33 firearms, Horton triggered the Federal law requiring notification to State and Federal law enforcement 11 times: July 7, 2021; July 24, 2021; July 26, 2021; July 27, 2021; July 31, 2021; August 31, 2021; September 10, 2021; September 18, 2021; September 26, 2021; and September 29, 2021; October, 1 2021. Accordingly, there were 5 notifications related to Horton required under Federal law before one of Horton’s firearms was recovered at the August 13, 2021 shooting; and there were 6 additional notifications related to Horton after the August 13, 2021 shooting. Paragraph 9, Affidavit of Kylie Williamson, Dkt. 1-1, U.S. v. Horton, Case No. 0:22-cr-00006 (D. Minn.); Footnotes 6, 7, and 8 (below) include additional details about the notification requirements.
