We had reported on this last week when it was first introduced. You can get updates as they happen on our 2023-2024 gun control bills page at https://gunowners.mn/take-action/2023-2024-session/ The House PS Omnibus w/ red flags and UBCs passed the House Public Safety Committee TODAY on a party-line ...

Brian, My son tells me that on your facebook page it was not really obvious there was a rally after I asked him to come with. the 3 of us were there, it was a bit disappointing on the attendance. Met some nice ladies from the Rochester area. Saw a lot Libertarian party signs, I get that a lot of ou...

Report on the Rally -- Considering that on February 17th, the Protect Minnesota rally for "common sense" gun legislation drew a little more than 100 people, yesterday's rally demonstrated that Minnesotans with actual common sense are being mobilized to stand up to harmful and crazy anti-g...

Currently Minnesota doesn't have any such provision. Prior rulings suggest it would require amending the Minnesota state constitution, and repeated efforts to do so have fallen short. My question is, if initiatives and referendums were permitted in Minnesota would this on balance be favorable or un...

Long road of twists and turns ahead, but this was a great development to hear yesterday.

Thanks! I enjoyed that one.

If I'm reading that correctly, it specifies guns be stored unloaded.

TPT's Almanac show had Rob Doar on it for about a minute when they were discussing public safety. You can watch the broadcast version of the show tomorrow (Sunday, Feb 12 at 9:30am TPT 2) or (I think) go online and watch it. https://www.tpt.org/almanac I watch the show, even though I believe they a...

I support the Firearms Policy Coalition and the 2nd Amendment Foundation nationally.

FPC is starting a large spend here in Minnesota on the anti-gun bills - expect to see them testify at future hearings.

Will law enforcement be exempt? A number of reports of thefts from law enforcement vehicles. At least one a year that we actually hear of. WHO gets charged, the officers, sheriff, police chief, ? They are not exempt as the bill is currently written. We would be opposed to any specific carve-out for...

Are there ANY Democrats against these new laws? (Maybe I should also ask are there any Republicans FOR these new laws?) P.S. I did see some of this on the news and I'd like to thank MN Gun Caucus for their efforts, especially for Rev. Tim Christopher to the podium. No GOP will support these laws fr...

Rob Doar worked his ass off on getting the ACLU to come out against these bills - their letter and written testimony was outstanding.
