I see this as a REALLY good sign.

Yes, we do still have HF241 to fight, but now we have pro-2A bills on the list. The more we have, the better. Look at how many the anti's have proposed, do you think they have a better or worse chance to pass one because of it?

Not to mention, there's a guaranteed 18 people to vote for this. Pay attention to who the co-authors are and who votes for this to pass. Reward them and make a huge point on election day.

Just became a citizen co sponsor of this bill. Sign up on their website.
Finally somebody is being proactive at the state capital.

I guess we can add DFLer Sundin to our side against the ban bills as he is co-sponsor of this.

While it's great to see some pro-2A bills introduced, I would be concerned they could be added the omnibus bill as a compromise to push through bad legislation. Stay vigilant Folks!
