MNGOC Members Sarah + Jon Hauptman discuss the Semi-Auto Ban & Magazine Ban bills
🎥 MNGOC Supporter Chris has a message for lawmakers. HF 3402 / SF 3714 (mag ban) HF 3433 / SF 3654 (semi-auto rifle ban) These bills don’t “protect communities.” They disarm them. “What does it mean to disarm historically disenfranchised members of your community who’ve had to rely on themselves?” At a time of record new gun ownership — especially among women, minorities, and working-class families — politicians want to strip law-abiding citizens of the most effective tools for self-defense. That’s not safety. That’s tone-deaf. It’s Mulford Act-level arrogance dressed up as “public policy.” Criminals won’t comply. Violent offenders won’t care. Only the law-abiding will be punished.

Disarming the Disenfranchised? Chris Speaks Out Against Minnesota’s Gun Bans
🚨 Minnesota Gun Owners — We Need You in the Fight 🚨 Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus Chair Bryan Strawser just dropped an important message about the looming bills to ban so-called “assault weapons” and standard-capacity magazines over 10 rounds in Minnesota. Here’s the bottom line: 💬 Comments on social media are great. 🧠 Debating constitutionality is great. 📝 But what actually stops bad bills? Written testimony + contacting your legislators. If you want to stop these unconstitutional bans, here’s what you MUST do: 1️⃣ Submit written testimony 2️⃣ Contact your State Rep and State Senator 3️⃣ Do it before Monday the 23rd at 3PM Take action here: 👉 https://gunowners.mn/feb24hearing This is how we win. Not by arguing in comment sections — but by flooding the legislature with real opposition. Let’s make sure they hear us loud and clear. 🔥
Don’t Just Comment. TAKE ACTION. Stop Minnesota’s Gun Ban Bills.
In this video, Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus member Sarah Hauptman delivers a powerful and unapologetic rebuke of the proposed semi-automatic rifle and magazine bans before lawmakers at the Capitol. In her video, Sarah dismantles the core arguments behind the legislation, exposing how these sweeping bans would criminalize peaceable Minnesotans while doing nothing to stop violent criminals. She reminds legislators that commonly owned semi-automatic firearms are protected arms under the Second Amendment — and that fundamental rights don’t disappear because they are politically inconvenient. The proposed ban targets firearms owned by hundreds of thousands of responsible, peaceable citizens across Minnesota. As Sarah makes clear, punishing peaceable gun owners is not public safety — it’s government overreach. The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus will continue to stand firmly against unconstitutional restrictions and defend the rights of peaceable citizens across our state. ⚡ TAKE ACTION: gunowners.mn/action 📝 SIGN A PETITION: gunowners.mn/petitions ✊ JOIN THE FIGHT: gunowners.mn/join 🛡️ BECOME A 2A DEFENDER: gunowners.mn/monthly 💥 DONATE: gunowners.mn/donate #mnleg #mn2a #2A
MNGOC Member Sarah Hauptman Delivers Powerful Rebuke of Proposed Rifle & Magazine Ban
In this video, Bryan Strawser, Chairman of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, does a detailed review of House File 3433 (and its identical Senate companion, SF 3654) — the DFL’s sweeping ban on so-called “semi-automatic military style assault weapons.” Or, basically, almost every single semi-automatic rifle. Here’s what the bill does at a high level: 🔎 Expands Minnesota’s definition of “semi-automatic military style assault weapon” ➡️ Covers most semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines ➡️ Includes common features like pistol grips, adjustable stocks, flash suppressors ➡️ Applies to many pistols and some shotguns ➡️ Includes parts that could be used to build one 🚫 Ban on transfer, ownership, and possession Illegal to transfer, own, or possess — with limited government exemptions. 💰 Penalty: Felony — up to 5 years in prison and/or $25,000 fine. ⚠️ Limited “grandfathering” — with strict conditions If you owned one before January 1, 2027, you must: • Apply for a state-issued certificate of ownership with a fee of unknown amount • Store it according to BCA regulations (not yet written) • Allow warrantless law enforcement inspections • Renew certification every 3 years • Keep it only on property you control or at a firing range • Report loss/theft within 48 hours • Never transfer it — even to your family Or your only options are: • Surrender it for destruction • Permanently disable it • Remove it from Minnesota You cannot purchase new ones after the effective date. This bill impacts tens of thousands of law-abiding Minnesotans. ⚡ TAKE ACTION: gunowners.mn/action ✊ JOIN: gunowners.mn/join 💥 DONATE: gunowners.mn/donate

Testimonials

“The right to self-defense is an inalienable right enshrined in the 2nd Amendment. The federal government and many state governments like to ignore this fact which is why Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus works diligently fighting for our rights in Minnesota.

This is the reason I support them every month as a Second Amendment Defender.”

“I support the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus with a monthly pledge as a Second Amendment Defender and plan on increasing that support beginning in 2022.

They have provided support within the state for 2nd Amendment Sanctuary counties and are very active on the state and federal level to promote pro-firearm legislation and challenge in court when our 2nd Amendment rights are modified by local ordinances and policies.”

“I am proud of being a member of the Caucus! They work for us so I work for them. It doesn’t get any better than that!”
