Minnesota’s Senate went whole hog on a laundry list of “dream” anti-gun measures Monday, passing SF 4067 by a party-line vote of 34-33. The so-called "gun violence prevention package" would ban modern sporting rifles like the AR-15, magazines holding more than 17 rounds, home-built firearms, and increasingly common types of firearm triggers.
Beyond those restrictions, SF 4067 goes even further and places new limits on self-defense rights while simultaneously expanding extra-judicial “red flag” laws. It now moves to the House for consideration.
Here’s a short list of some, but not all, of the heavy-handed measures on the move in the Land of 10,000 Lakes:
Beyond those restrictions, SF 4067 goes even further and places new limits on self-defense rights while simultaneously expanding extra-judicial “red flag” laws. It now moves to the House for consideration.
Here’s a short list of some, but not all, of the heavy-handed measures on the move in the Land of 10,000 Lakes:
- Ban on modern sporting rifles and other semi-auto firearms, such as the common AR-15, as well as various pistols and shotguns.
- Ban on magazines holding more than 17 rounds, including standard-capacity handgun and rifle magazines.
- Ban on user-completed firearms, such as unfinished receivers.
- Further restrictions on 3D-printed firearms.
- Ban on popular binary triggers.
- Broader “red flag” laws, expanding who can request the removal of an individual’s Second Amendment rights and extending how long that denial lasts.
- Expanded funding for enforcing “red flag” laws.
- Stricter storage laws for firearms.
- Expansion of gun-free zones, including school-sponsored events.
