TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE:
- 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, Governor Tim Walz campaigned on signing "Red Flag Gun Confiscation Flag Orders" and "Universal Gun Registration" into law
-
Whereas, House Speaker Melissa Hortman and Majority Leader Ryan Winkler have stated publicly that "Red Flag Gun Confiscation Orders" and "Universal Gun Registration" are top legislative priorities for 2019
- Whereas, "Red Flag Gun Confiscation Orders" allow your firearms to be seized through an ex-parte hearing where you will not be notified - depriving you of your right to defend yourself against accusations in court
- Whereas, "Red Flag Gun Confiscation Orders" completely destroys the Second Amendment by allowing nearly anyone to file a complaint leading to the loss of their right to keep and bear arms
-
Whereas, "Universal Gun Registration" creates a de-facto registry through the paper trail generated at gun shops & FFLs.
- Whereas, "Universal Gun Registration" destroys the Second Amendment by enabling use of this de-facto registry for nefarious purposes.
- Whereas, the metro-centric, anti-gun DFL leadership in the House has buried these gun control provisions in a public safety omnibus budget bill.
THEREFORE, AS A LAW-ABIDING GUN OWNER AND/OR A SUPPORTER OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT,
I CALL UPON ALL MEMBERS OF THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
TO OPPOSE ALL GUN CONTROL MEASURES BY VOTING NO ON THESE AND OTHER GUN CONTROL BILLS
