🚨 WHAT JUST HAPPENED ON THE HOUSE FLOOR DFL leadership tried to ram through: ❌ A magazine ban ❌ A near-total ban on semi-auto rifles, shotguns, and even handguns They used an “urgency” motion to bypass the normal process. Twice. Both FAILED. 67–67. That means: 👉 These unconstitutional bills are STOPPED (for now) 👉 They’re stuck in committee, but still alive 👉 Your rights held the line tonight Much credit to House Republicans for standing firm and holding the line under pressure. Make no mistake — they WILL try again. Stay engaged. Stay loud.

Gun Ban AMBUSH Fails on MN House Floor — Here’s What Happened
Rep. Alex Falconer (DFL, HD 49A - Eden Prairie) says there’s “no purpose” for a semi-auto rifle in deer hunting because it would “blow the deer apart.” That’s not just wrong, it’s embarrassingly wrong. An AR-15 typically fires a small .223/5.56 round — far less powerful than many traditional hunting rifles. So now we’re writing gun bans based on made-up ballistics? 🤔 The Second Amendment doesn’t hinge on his hunting preferences anyway. It protects arms “in common use” for lawful purposes — including self-defense. This isn’t about hunting. It’s about banning what they don’t understand. And they’re rushing it under “urgency” because they couldn't get it out of committee. ⚡ 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

MnGuns Reddit Q&A: What’s Actually Happening at the Legislature from MNGOC Chair Bryan Strawser
🚨 BREAKING from the MN Court of Appeals 🚨 Today was the State’s appeal in Caucus v. Walz—our case challenging the binary trigger ban under the single-subject clause. We also cross-appealed to strike down the whole bill. And in oral arguments… the State just folded. 👉 They conceded the binary trigger ban was NOT germane to the omnibus bill. That’s game over on that issue. The ban is dead. But the bigger fight continues 👇 We’re pushing to strike down the entire 1,400+ page omnibus bill that was jammed through in the final minutes of the 2024 legislative session. Because if courts allow this, lawmakers will keep stuffing unconstitutional policies into massive “must-pass” bills. ⚖️ This case could shut that down for good. We'll have a decision within 60 days.

They Said It in Court: MN Binary Trigger Ban Was Never Germane to the Bill - Caucus v. Walz Appeal
Yesterday, Anna testified AGAINST HF 4359 in House Public Safety. Let’s be clear: targeting straw purchasing is legitimate and can have broad support. But this bill ties that to a re-enactment of the trigger activator ban — a constitutionally suspect restriction already facing legal challenges in our Caucus v. Walz case. Two completely different issues. One bill. We oppose re-banning binary triggers. 📌 Deadlocked 10–10 along party lines. Still alive. ⚡ 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

“I have had the opportunity to spend time at the State Capital as a Caucus member, meeting with legislators concerning our Second Amendment Rights. I would not have had this opportunity without the help of the MGOC leadership, who keeps members informed and educated. They are true professionals who have stood up to the anti-gun legislature here in Minnesota.

The Caucus has given its members a seat at the table and a voice on the Right to Bear Arms! That’s what Grassroots is all about!”

“Being a participating member of the MN Gun Owners Caucus helps to assure our 2A rights stand secure.

The Caucus is a valuable source of factual information, useful to any member when speaking to family, friends, legislators, business customers, or anyone, about gun rights, safety statistics, and more.

When you participate, your efforts help to strengthen MGOC to continue the dedicated work to keep our rights and privileges strong.”

“Keeping up on what is going with the Minnesota legislature is a task, to say the least.
