The Fight for Your Second Amendment Rights Starts Here
🚨 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.

Testimonials

“I’ve been a member of the Gun Owners Caucus from its beginning.

It has matured into a formidable lobbying organization doing serious and effective work on behalf of the law-abiding gun owners of Minnesota.”

“Some 2nd Amendment supporters get taken in by ‘gun rights’ charlatans who huff and puff for the camera, but don’t know one darned thing about crafting legislation, successful lobbying, and civil legal action.

The Caucus is the real deal, and are respected in the State Capitol for their professionalism, their non-partisanship, and for their effectiveness!”

“I became a life member of the NRA in 1980.

The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus is focused primarily on Minnesota and that makes it very important to me.”
