Did Protect Minnesota's Director Really Just Say Gun Owners Are Threatening to Kill Legislators?
At the 2026 Rally to Defend the Second Amendment at the Minnesota State Capitol, Bryan Strawser, Chair of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, lays out exactly what gun owners are facing this session—and what comes next. From sweeping proposed bans on commonly owned firearms and magazines, to efforts to eliminate state preemption and criminalize law-abiding gun owners, Bryan breaks down the real agenda behind the latest wave of legislation. His message is clear: This isn’t about criminals. It’s about controlling you. But this speech isn’t just a warning. It’s a roadmap: • Show up • Contact your legislators • Get involved in elections • Support the lawsuits holding the state accountable Because the fight isn’t just at the Capitol. It’s in the courts, and it’s on the ballot this November.

At the 2026 Rally to Defend the Second Amendment at the Minnesota State Capitol, Kostas Moros, Director of Legal Research & Education for the Second Amendment Foundation, delivers a blunt warning: Minnesota is heading down the same road as California. Drawing on real-world experience, Moros explains what “common sense” gun control actually looks like in practice and how it turns a constitutional right into a costly, restricted privilege. From bans and fees to carry restrictions, he lays out what happens when politicians keep pushing for “just one more” law. His message is simple: it doesn’t make you safer, and it never stops. ⚡ 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
Keynote Speaker Kostas Moros at 2026 Rally: Don’t Let Minnesota Become California
At the 2026 Rally to Defend the Second Amendment at the Minnesota State Capitol, Senior Vice President of Government Relations Rob Doar delivers a powerful, unapologetic defense of one of the most important phrases in American history: “Shall not be infringed.” In this speech, Rob exposes the decades-long pattern of government overreach—where every crisis becomes an excuse to chip away at the rights of law-abiding Americans: • The National Firearms Act of 1934 and the birth of federal gun control • The Gun Control Act of 1968 and the expansion of restrictions under the guise of “safety” • The failed 1994 Assault Weapons Ban—and the refusal to admit it didn’t work • The endless cycle: tragedy → fear → legislation → more restrictions on lawful citizens But this isn’t just history—it’s a turning point. Rob walks through the constitutional revival that changed everything: • District of Columbia v. Heller – affirming the individual right to keep and bear arms  • McDonald v. City of Chicago – applying that right to the states  • New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen – restoring the proper constitutional test rooted in text, history, and tradition  And right here in Minnesota: • Worth v. Jacobson – defeating unconstitutional age-based restrictions on the right to carry  • Ongoing legal battles holding the state accountable when it tries to sneak unconstitutional provisions into omnibus bills Rob makes one thing clear: 👉 Rights are not restored by accident—they are restored because people fight. This speech is a call to action: • Support the organizations doing the work • Fund the litigation that defends your rights • Show up—in court, at the Capitol, and in your community Because history doesn’t remember those who sat on the sidelines. ⚡ 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
“Shall Not Be Infringed” – Rob Doar’s Powerful Speech at 2026 Rally to Defend the Second Amendment
At the 2026 Rally to Defend the Second Amendment at the Minnesota State Capitol, Anna Leamy, Director of Government Affairs and Advocacy for the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, delivers a clear-eyed, no-nonsense update on the legislative battlefield. In this speech, Anna breaks down what’s really happening at the Capitol: • A full-scale push for gun control from DFL leadership • Bills targeting lawful gun owners from every angle—magazine bans, so-called “assault weapon” bans, preemption repeal, campus carry bans, and more • The razor-thin margins in both chambers that make every vote critical • How anti-gun lawmakers are using procedural tactics to force votes • Why grassroots pressure from YOU is making the difference She also highlights the relentless work being done behind the scenes—testifying in committees, submitting written testimony, and meeting directly with legislators—but makes one thing crystal clear: 👉 That’s not enough without you. This fight is being decided in real time—and your calls, emails, and votes are what hold the line. ⚡ 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

Testimonials

“Being a member of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus and a 2nd Amendment Defender is the least I can do.

I can’t thank you guys enough for all you do. You help more women keep their right to defend themselves. I’m honored to help.”

“Why am I a member?

It’s because the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus has local people actually doing something in Minnesota to help protect our basic rights. They show up at St Paul. They live stream. They are frequently on local talk radio. They are active and you can see & hear them.

I don’t know of a harder working 2A rights group in the state.”

“Keeping up on what is going with the Minnesota legislature is a task, to say the least.

If you want to be informed as to what is happening with respect to your gun rights, the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus is the group to support. Not only with current emails but they are also very active with the local talk radio media.

Love those guys for making me smarter.”
