Saint Paul, MN -(AmmoLand.com)- As I write this email, Michael Bloomberg’s “Everytown” and “Moms Demand Action” gun control groups are at the Minnesota State Capitol, holding a press conference with Senator Ron Latz and Representative Dan Schoen introducing a new “comprehensive gun safety bill” (their words).
The bill isn’t a gun safety bill, it’s a gun control bill. Even worse, it’s a gun owner registration bill.
The bill, online as of a few minutes ago as Senate File 2493, would require any purchase or transfer of a firearm to take place at a federal firearms license holder, i.e. a gun shop.
This is nothing short of universal registration – which is exactly what the anti-gunners want.
Bills like this were the subject of extensive hearings in 2013 and soundly defeated. In fact, it was this sort of gun control that Minnesota voters rejected strongly at the polls in November 2014, leading to a Pro-Second Amendment majority in the Minnesota House. We’ve already been in touch with our legislative allies this morning in Saint Paul – and with your help, we’re going to stop this bill in its tracks.
We just published this press release a few minutes ago. You can read it online on our website via this link.
Can you take ten minutes today and do the following to help us kill this bill right now?
- Call your Representative and Senator today. Tell them that you are opposed to any new gun control bills, but that you’re specifically opposed to the new Latz/Schoen gun owner registration bill. You can look up their contact information via the “Who Represents Me?” website.
- Follow-up your call with a brief e-mail to your Representative and Senator today. Reiterate your opposition to any new gun control bills, and specifically to the new Latz/Schoen gun owner registration bill.
- If you haven’t already done so, please join the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. Your membership helps us grow the organization, reach out to more gun owners, host events, and lobby at the Minnesota State Capitol.
- If you’re already a member, consider an additional donation to the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus or to the Minnesota Gun Owners PAC to help us continue the fight – and expand the number of Pro-Second Amendment legislators in office.
None of this would be possible without your support. Now’s the time to call and email your Senator and Representative and let them know you oppose this sort of extreme gun control.

My polling indicates that 97% of Patriotic Americans want the cultural marxist scum hanged from lamp posts in the streets. No see how that works?
Thom Paine, you got that right!
Now it’s ‘gun safety’ ? Gun control wasn’t working for the gungrabbing parasites,so now it’s gun safety ? Same thing diff.words. I don’t think they will change catchphrase ‘gun violence’ although it don’t work at all for the parasites ! Plus you never hardly ever read a sentence from the SOB’s where they don’t use ‘common sense’ and ‘gun violence’ together !
