THURSDAY WILL BRING A NEW GUN CONTROL HEARING TO THE HOUSE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING
It appears that on Thursday, the Minnesota House Public Safety Committee will make an attempt to sneak in gun control provisions into two separate omnibus public safety bills.
Briefly, the two bills that are being pushed by the anti-gun MN House DFL are:
HF8 - the Universal Gun Registration or "Universal Background Check" bill, requiring you to get a Permit to Purchase for any firearms purchase or transfer from anyone - or do the transaction at a dealer. It raises the age to purchase a firearm to 21.
This goes WAY BEYOND any other previously proposed "Universal Background Check" legislation.
HF9 - the Red Flag Gun Confiscation Bill - individuals can get a court order to seize your firearms - often without you even knowing that a hearing has been held to discuss you and your firearms.
On Thursday, here's what we believe they will attempt to do:
First, anti-gun DFL members of the House Public Safety Committee will attempt to amend some version of HF8 and HF9 into the massive House Public Safety Omnibus Policy Bill. This bill is HF 2792.
Second, Chair Mariani will introduce HF 2711, which is the Hosue Public Safety Omnibus Finance Bill. This bill is the budget bill for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety and related agencies that touch public safety. This bill has the original, unamended versions of HF8 and HF9 buried inside of the budget bill.
This will give the House DFL two separate Omnibus bills that we must track and try to keep gun control out of as they move towards the House floor in the coming weeks. And remember - with their majority, they can pass whatever they want -- but we must try and stop these bills now if we can.
THE HEARING DETAILS FOR THURSDAY ARE:
WHEN: Thursday, April 4th, 2019, 12:45 PM - 2:00 PM. If needed, the hearing will reconvene at 6:00 PM.
WHERE: State Capitol, Room 120
If you can make it, we will need you there!
We'll have more specific actions for you to take in the very near future. In the meantime, block the date and time and make plans to be there if you can.

We're significantly outspent by the anti-gun groups in this state. Protect Minnesota raises hundreds of thousands of dollars a year - Michael Bloomberg's groups have millions of dollars in lobbying, "grassroots" support, and more.
Anything that you can give to help us in this fight will help. Some have given $1000 and $500 - others have contributed $250, $100, or even $50 or $25. All donations help us take the fight to the anti-gunners.
