Stop Universal Gun Registration

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 "Universal Gun Registration" bill into law
  
  
• Whereas, House Speaker Melissa Hortman and Majority Leader Ryan Winkler have stated publicly that "Universal Gun Registration" is a top legislative priority for 2020
  
  
• Whereas, new Senate Minority Leader Susan Kent has stated publicly that gun control is a top legislative priority for the Senate DFL in 2020
  
  
• Whereas, Speaker Hortman and Leader Winkler introduced "Universal Gun Registration" as one of their first ten bills introduced into the Minnesota Legislature in 2019
  
  
• Whereas, Senator Dibble introduced "Universal Gun Registration" as one of the first DFL bills into the Minnesota Senate in 2019
  
  
• 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 the use of this de-facto registry for nefarious purposes

THEREFORE, AS A LAW-ABIDING GUN OWNER,
I CALL UPON ALL MEMBERS OF THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE 
TO OPPOSE UNIVERSAL GUN REGISTRATION
