2023 Rally to Defend the Second Amendment
2023-03-25 11:30 - 14:00 | MN State Capitol – Rotunda, 75 Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd, Saint Paul, MN, 55155, United States
Join the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus for a Rally to Defend the 2nd Amendment in the Minnesota State Capitol Rotunda on Saturday, March 25th, 2023 from 12:00PM – 2:00PM. Doors will open at 11:30AM.
This year, we face an anti-gun DFL trifecta holding control in the Minnesota Senate, the House, and the Governor’s mansion. They ran on a strong platform of gun control and have promised to take immediate action in the upcoming legislation session.
Groups like Michael Bloomberg’s “Everytown” and “Moms Demand Action” spent millions of dollars to bring their out-of-state funded anti-gun politics to the door of the Minnesota legislature.
We expect to see extreme anti-gun bills like Senator John Marty’s “Repeal the Second Amendment in Minnesota” bills and Omnibus Gun Control bills – including registration, gun owner licensing, liability insurance requirements, bans on commonly owned rifles and shotguns, and magazine bans.
We need to keep up the pressure all throughout the entire legislative session to stop gun control in its tracks.
What better way than to have thousands of law-abiding gun owners rally to make sure their voices are heard?
We will have speakers from all over the gun rights movement here in Minnesota, including elected officials.
Timeline

11:30 AM: Doors open
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM: Rally

We’re holding the event on a Saturday so that folks that work during the week can attend – and indoors so that we can avoid any weather challenges in March.
RSVP BELOW, SAVE THE DATE and SPREAD THE WORD.
Note: You may carry a handgun at the State Capitol Complex as long as you have a valid Minnesota Permit to Carry. Long-gun carry inside the buildings is prohibited by statute. We recommend carrying concealed. Flag poles & signs on a stick are prohibited. Signs and flags are welcome, however – but must be carried by hand. We will have Caucus signs available.
We hope to see you there!

This year, we face an anti-gun DFL trifecta holding control in the Minnesota Senate, the House, and the Governor’s mansion. They ran on a strong platform of gun control and have promised to take immediate action in the upcoming legislation session.
Groups like Michael Bloomberg’s “Everytown” and “Moms Demand Action” spent millions of dollars to bring their out-of-state funded anti-gun politics to the door of the Minnesota legislature.
We expect to see extreme anti-gun bills like Senator John Marty’s “Repeal the Second Amendment in Minnesota” bills and Omnibus Gun Control bills – including registration, gun owner licensing, liability insurance requirements, bans on commonly owned rirfles and shotguns, and magazine bans.
Why you should attend
It’s critical that elected officials, even if they support gun control initiatives, hear directly from you as their constituent.

The Details: Where, when, and what will I be doing?

Gun Owners Lobby Day will be Thursday, January 26th, 2023 from 9am – 12pm in the L’Etoile du Nord Vault (Basement of the State Capitol)

Check-in with our team in the L’Etoile du Nord Vault (State Capitol Basement).

We will have information for you, including a list of current pro-gun and anti-gun bills, speaking points to use with legislators, and other materials.
Our staff and volunteers will be able to answer any questions you have about the legislative process, current bills, ratings for legislators, and information about the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus and PAC.

Go meet with your legislators!

You should schedule time with your Senator and Representative to meet during this time (9AM – 12PM). You can do so by contacting them directly and letting them know you’d like a few minutes to talk as their constituent. You can find out who your legislators are and their contact information using the “Who Represents Me?” website.
We’ll have easy-to-follow speaking points to get you through the conversation – and maps to help you navigate through the complex.

Come back to the vault and let us know how it went.

We’re fortunate in Minnesota to have a highly available citizen-legislature that welcomes engagement from all political spectrums and beliefs. Even if your Representative or Senator supports gun control, you’ll generally find them open to discussion and the chance to hear from a constituent.
This is a critically important event in the upcoming legislative session. We hope to see you there!
Note: You may carry a firearm at the State Capitol Complex with a Minnesota Permit to Carry. We recommend carrying concealed. Long guns may not be brought inside facilities.

Updates from Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus leaders and allies

This year, we once again face a strong anti-gun majority in the Minnesota House. Governor Tim Walz has maintained a strong platform of gun control and has promised to take immediate action once the legislature brings a bill to his desk.
Groups like Michael Bloomberg’s “Everytown” and “Moms Demand Action” spent millions of dollars to bring their out-of-state funded anti-gun politics to the door of the Minnesota legislature.
Now we’re seeing extreme anti-gun bills like Senator John Marty’s “Repeal the Second Amendment in Minnesota” bills and Rep. Steve Sandell’s Omnibus Gun Control bills – including registration, gun owner licensing, liability insurance requirements, and magazine bans.
Why you should attend
Anti-gun groups and their activists have been active this session, just as they have been in year’s past. It’s critical that elected officials, even if they support gun control initiatives, hear directly from you as their constituent.

The Details: Where, when, and what will I be doing?

Gun Owners Lobby Day will be Wednesday, March 2nd, 2022 IN PERSON in State Capitol, Room 316.

Check-in with our team in State Capitol Room 316.
