Whereas, the anti-gun movement, led by state groups like Protect Minnesota and Michael Bloomberg's out of state-funded Everytown, is attempting to take advantage of recent tragedies to drive home their agenda of gun control.
Whereas, State Representative Linda Slocum, along with several of her anti-gun colleagues, have introduced the worst gun control bill seen in a decade in the state.
Whereas, the bill established a ban on the sale or transfer of most semi-automatic handguns, rifles, and shotguns in the state, including many commonly owned hunting firearms.
Whereas, the bill requires registration of all firearms in a database held by your local police. This database requires an annual fee - and forces you to allow the police to inspect your home without a warrant at any time.
Whereas, the bill bans possession of suppressors, despite their lack of use in criminal activity.
Whereas, the bill contains many other measures that would destroy our Second Amendment rights.
Therefore, as a law-abiding gun owner, I call upon all members of the Minnesota Legislature to OPPOSE HF 3022 - the Slocum Gun Ban Bill!
