After posting the language of Universal Background Checks/Gun Owner Registration on the committee page for just 14 minutes, the Public Safety Omnibus Committee, which only has DFL members on it, has just adopted the language unanimously, without debate or testimony.

The entirely DFL committee has now adopted red-flag firearm confiscation, unanimously, without debate or testimony.

Next stop, House and Senate floors for an up or down vote.

By packaging it together with funding for corrections, courts, and public defenders, they are giving political cover to vulnerable senators like @RobKupec, @grant_hauschild, @JudySeeberger and @AricForMN.

Now they can try and parse words with constituents. #mnleg

In the core holding of the landmark US Supreme Court case, Justice Scalia wrote, "The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@grant_hauschild We agree with you that @JohnMarty's SF1723 would create a gun-registry (and much more) and SF916's arbitrary storage requirements violate the Second Amendment and create undue burdens on responsible gun owners.

Press Release: Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus opposes inclusion of gun control provisions in Public Safety Omnibus Bill (SF2909). 🧵

Yesterday the Public Safety Conference Committee, without any Republican representation, snuck in red flag gun confiscation and universal gun registration into their omnibus bill to shield vulnerable senators from voting on the controversial legislation.

"Kupec said he has issues with all the gun bills but declined to discuss his specific positions, citing ongoing negotiations. He said he can envision himself voting for new restrictions with the right bill, but added: "I don't know if we're going to get there or not.""
"Hauschild and Seeberger both expressed concern about the firearm storage bill, saying they oppose requiring gun owners to store their guns and ammunition separately."
