Re: MN member checking in!
HEADS UP MN Shooters
It's not too late. This is all happening this week. These bills were not introduced until late last week, when they
were referred to the committees I have a schedule of
hearings posted on the GRRC website. There are also meetings of gun owners occurring at the capitol before each hearing. I've emailed every gun owner on my email roster.
You can forward what I sent to you to your email folks, and so on. Steve M.
PLEASE FORWARD AND SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE ON YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL LIST THE MINNESOTA ATTACKS ON YOUR RIGHTS ARE FAR WORSE THAN THE FEDERAL ATTACKSAND THE TIME IS SHORT!It’s time for us to stand and be counted. Please come out to the capitol and make a strong showing for 2nd Amendment rights at one of the hearings! Schedule Feb 5 (Tues)- 10 am Room 10, State Office Building (Pro gun folks Gather in Room 400S at 8:30am) Feb 5 (Tues)- 6 pm Room 10, State Office Building (Plan to gather early – 4:30pm. look for further details) Feb 6 (Wed) – 10 am Room 10, State Office Building (Plan to gather early – 8:30am. look for further details) Feb 7
(Thurs) – 10 am Room 10, State Office Building (Plan to gather early – 8:30am. look for further details) Feb 7
(Thurs) – 6 pm Room 10, State Office Building (Plan to gather early – 4:30pm. look for further details) The
Bills:
H.F. 241: Assault Weapons Ban. Look carefully at the definition. Your Garand is now an assault weapon (> 7 rounds internal fixed magazine). After it takes effect, you have to move the weapon out of state, surrender it for destruction, render it inoperable, or register it! H.F.
240: Prove you’re sane!The sheriff may require you to get a letter from a doctor or psychiatrist to get a carry or transferee (purchase) permit H.F. 242: 10 round mag limit Must alter mag, surrender it for destruction, or move it out of state! H.F. 243: 7 round mag limit Must surrender it for destruction, or move it out of state! H.F. 237: All transfers to be done by FFL’s. All transfers reported to Police(line 7.8). Expands mental health loss of rights from court ordered commitment to just confinement. H.F. 238:
Felony to accidentally posses a firearm on school property.
It’s currently a misdemeanor for permit holders to unknowingly or mistakenly find themselves on school property. One should not lose firearms rights (felony) for a simple mistake. H.F. 239: Gross misdemeanor to remain after being asked to leave. Second offense is a felony. Currently, it’s a petty misdemeanor. As far as we know, NONE of these special tickets has ever been issued. This is an attempt to PUNISH permit holders and raise the potential loss of firearms rights. H.F. 242: Loss or theft reports, transferring to ineligible person A person convicted of these crimes made ineligible to possess a firearm.******************************************Make no mistake about it, right now Governor Mark Dayton and Barack Obama are on a war path to take away your right to keep and bear arms in Minnesota.You’ve heard their threats for weeks — but now the St. Paul gun-grabbers are acting.And they’re even bringing out the Washington bullies and some “pro-gun”
turncoats to help exploit tragedies and trample your Second Amendment rights.Authored by anti-gun St. Paul State Representative Alice Hausman, H.F. 241 would:*** Ban the sale, transfer, possession and manufacturing of ALL semiautomatic firearms with a det achable magazine and at least one“characteristic” — which means just about anything that makes a gun “look scary.”(This includes rifles AND
pistols!)*** Impose sweeping bans on pistols, rifles and shotguns that have “the capacity to accept” more than 7 rounds of ammunition;THIS INCLUDES YOUR GARAND RIFLE! *** Force current owners of ALL “grandfathered” weapons to undergo intrusive, redundant, ANNUAL background checksat their own expense;*** Force owners of ALL “grandfathered”
weapons to obtain permission to keep their guns by registering them annually with law enforcement;*** Force the confiscation of thousands of firearms to law enforcement.
Failure to comply could result in a SERIOUS FELONY $25,000 fine, five years in jail or both;*** Give local law enforcement a blank check to make up their own gun storage rules as they please, and;*** Give local law enforcement agencies vast new powers to bust down your door to make sure you are in compliance with all of their new, made up, “rules.”That’s right. This bill forces you to open up your door and let the police “inspect” your legally possessed firearm as they please.Now this isn’t surprising.After all, Governor Dayton vetoed a bill last year that would have prohibited him from confiscating your weapons in a state of emergency.Now, he is declaring that preverbal emergency by further cracking down on your right to keep and bear arms.And with the first DFL majority in two decades, anti-gunners like Governor Dayton, Mayor R.T. Rybak
, and State Rep. Hausman are going full speed ahead.
They’ve even recruited President Obama to kick off their gun-grab with a visit on Monday, who’s anti-gun agenda has all but earned him the blessing of the “Republican” Sheriff of Hennepin County, Rich Stanek.Worse, they’re going to try to ram this through th e House Public Safety committee beginning next Tuesday, February 5th at
10:00 AM.But… There is some good news.YOU can help put a stop to this nonsense.Here are three things you can do right
now:1.) Contact the members of the House Public Safety Finance and Policy committee.Urge them to reject H.F. 241
and all gun control immediately.Michael Paymar (DFL)
