I really do apologize if this pisses some of you off for being posted already in Minnesota hometown, but I wanted everyone else to see this so we don't follow suite like New York, and then from there who knows what state is next. So please everyone regardless of where you're from CALL OR WRITE, if it passes here in MN it just gives momentum for other states to follow.
Extreme anti-Second Amendment legislation has been introduced in Minnesota. These bills follow the New York model by proposing to make it illegal to possess magazines that hold more than 7 bullets, defining "assault weapons" so broadly that very few semi-automatic weapons would be excluded; making it illegal to possess an "assault weapon" that was not possessed as of February 1, 2013; requiring registration of "assault weapons"; and making it illegal to possess standard capacity magazines possessed before the ban. At first glance, the 7-round limit doesn't distinguish between internal or detachable magazines, so even M1 Garands would become "assault weapons." And there's more. Registering an "assault weapon" would require a background check, would need to be redone annually, would automatically give permission for LE to inspect your home for safe storage, fees would be charged for registration (and there's no limit). You would be unable to buy more or even transfer them to your children. Instead, on death the weapons would need to be rendered inoperable or turned over to law enforcement. links House Bill 238 – Guns in school zones, more penalties: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bin/bldbi...l&session=ls88 House Bill 239 – Guns in public, more penalties: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bin/bldbi...l&session=ls88 House Bill 240 – Mental Health applying to guns: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bin/bldbi...l&session=ls88 House Bill 241 – Assault Weapon Ban: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bin/bldbi...l&session=ls88 House Bill 242 – Mags over 7 rounds: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bin/bldbi...l&session=ls88 House Bill 243 – Mags over 7 rounds: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bin/bldbi...l&session=ls88 House Bill 244 – Crime to not report loss or theft: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bin/bldbi...l&session=ls88 here is a list of representatives to get in contact with House Public Safety Committee: Representative Michael Paymar (DFL) – Chairman 651-296-4199 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Paul Rosenthal (DFL) – Vice Chairman 651-296-7803 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Tony Cornish (R) – Republican Lead 651-296-4240 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Debra Hilstrom (DFL) 651-296-3709 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Brian Johnson (R) 651-296-4346 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Tim Kelly (R) 651-296-8635 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Andrea Kieffer (R) 651-296-1147 E-mail: [email protected] Representative John Lesch (DFL) 651-296-4224 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Kathy Lohmer (R) 651-296-4244 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Joe Mullery (DFL) 651-296-4262 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Jim Newberger (R) 651-296-2451 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Shannon Savick (DFL) 651-296-8216 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Dan Schoen (DFL) 651-296-4342 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Steve Simon (DFL) 651-296-9889 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Erik Simonson (DFL) 651-296-4246 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Linda Slocum (DFL) 651-296-7158 E-mail: [email protected] Representative Mark Uglem (R) 651-296-5513 E-mail: [email protected] Representative John Ward (DFL) 651-296-4333 E-mail: [email protected] Please take some time to get out there, buzz there phones and fill there e-mail inbox's up!
