Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus

2026 Rally to Defend the Second Amendment
2026-04-11 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | 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 2026 Rally to Defend the Second Amendment in the Minnesota State Capitol Rotunda on Saturday, April 11, 2026 from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM.
Due to weapons screening requirements, we recommend arriving no later than 11:00 AM.
Over the past several years, Minnesota gun owners have faced relentless attacks from anti-gun politicians and well-funded national advocacy groups. With the help of out-of-state money from organizations like Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action, the Minnesota Legislature has repeatedly pushed unconstitutional gun control targeting peaceable, law-abiding citizens.
And the pressure hasn’t stopped.
Already this legislative session, anti-gun lawmakers have pushed forward sweeping gun control proposals — including broad bans on commonly owned semi-automatic rifles, bans on standard-capacity magazines, and repeal of Minnesota’s statewide firearm preemption law. These extreme proposals have already received hearings at the Capitol.
These policies don’t target criminals.
They target you.
But Minnesota gun owners have also been fighting back — and winning.
From grassroots organizing to major legal victories like Worth v. Jacobson, which restored the right of 18- to 20-year-old adults to obtain a permit to carry, the fight for the Second Amendment in Minnesota is far from over — and momentum is on our side.
Now is the time to keep the pressure on.
We must continue working to stop unconstitutional gun control in its tracks while advancing pro-Second Amendment reforms that protect the rights of peaceable Minnesotans.
What better way to make our voices heard than thousands of law-abiding gun owners rallying at the Capitol?
