After seemingly having nine lives, or three to more precise, the Minnesota "gun control wish list" has effectively been defeated.
Tonight, on May 14th, HF 5140 failed in the House along a party-line vote of 67-67, effectively defeating the bill for this session. HF 5140's "wish list" package of gun control included a ban on modern sporting rifles, magazines that hold over 17 rounds, home built firearms, and certain types of triggers; places limits on self-defense rights; and expands red flag laws.
NRA thanks all legislators who voted against HF 5140, and all NRA members and fellow Second Amendment advocates who engaged with legislators to oppose this bill. Though no bill is truly "dead" until session adjourns, this is a significant victory for all law-abiding gun owners in Minnesota.
