Join us for the 2024 Gun Owners Lobby Day on Wednesday, March 20th, 2024 from 11:00AM – 1:00PM.

Hear from legislative leaders
Preparatory/training session for legislative meetings
Updates from Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus leaders and allies

This year, we once again face a strong anti-gun majority in the Minnesota House and Senate.
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 more – 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 years past. Even if they support gun control initiatives, elected officials must 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 20th, 2024 from 11:00AM – 1:00PM.

Check-in with our team in the State Capitol Vault.

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. 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 State Capitol Vault and let us know how it went.

Minnesota is fortunate 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!

2024 Rally to Defend the Second Amendment
2024-04-27 11:30 - 13:30 | MN State Capitol – Rotunda, 75 Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd, Saint Paul, MN, 55155, United States
Join the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus for the 2024 Rally to Defend the 2nd Amendment in the Minnesota State Capitol Rotunda on Saturday, April 27th, 2024 from 11:30AM – 1:30PM. Doors will open at 11:00AM.
This year, we continue to face an anti-gun DFL trifecta holding control in the Minnesota Senate, the House, and the Governor’s mansion. They ran on gun control, they passed two watered down gun control bills last year, and they will be back for more this year.
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.

Unlike previous years, the DFL trifecta has been broken. Over the past two years, the DFL has RAMRODDED through gun control bills, bending the rules and our state and federal constitution to its breaking point.

We need to keep up the pressure all throughout the entire legislative session to stop gun control in its tracks and push forward with pro-Second Amendment bills that protect peaceable Minnesotans.
