The National Association for Gun Rights called it outrageous that a committee comprising solely of Democrats added the gun provisions into a “must pass” funding bill without testimony from gun owners — which is something they’d expect to happen in “some totalitarian hellhole, not in St. Paul.”
A joint Minnesota House-Senate panel on public safety issues wrapped up their work Wednesday, approving several groundbreaking proposals, including two gun control measures and new restrictions on no-knock warrants.Although gun control drew much of the focus, the bill has far-reaching provisions that seek to make the criminal justice system more rehabilitative and thereby cut recidivism.
Sen. Justin Eichorn, R-Grand Rapids, claimed some county sheriffs won’t enforce the red flag portion of the bill allowing judges to take guns away from people deemed dangerous, saying, “Today it’s your guns, tomorrow it’s your Zamboni or your gas stove or whatever is decided to be the demon of the day.”
