Let the buying surge begin!

Same bill coming soon to MN.

Thats some scary wording...

"C. For purposes of this section, "assault firearm" means any semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material and is equipped at the time of the offense with a magazine which will hold more than 20 rounds of ammunition or designed by the manufacturer to accommodate a silencer or equipped with a folding stock."

If you have one of these then you have a "assault firearm".
1) Semi auto center fire rifle or pistol
AND
2) more than a 20 round mag
OR
3) threaded barrel from the supplier
OR
4) a folding stock

“ It includes exceptions for government agencies, law enforcement.”

That right there is an unconstitutional load of bullcrap.

They're in for a long 4 years I'm afraid.

Hopefully the courts will step in, but they shouldn't have to. There needs to be consiquences for passing such a bill.

A legislator I know said many of the democrats want to ban all semi auto rifles regardless of magazine size in MN.

The way it is written, it is more of a magazine ban than a firearm ban. For example, if you own an AR but only POSSESS 5 and 10 round mags, it doesn't meet the requirement. Had they written it as any weapon CAPABLE of accepting a 20 round mag, it would have been much worse.

What does a gun store do with its assault rifle inventory. I suppose that can sell to a dealer in another state.

I believe I read that it doesn't go into effect until July, 2026 so they would have until then to sell them.

Is that the Trans firearm of choice?

supreme court has ruled similar laws unconstitutional, will be thrown out.

That could be, but my legislator said there are quite a few democrats that would like to see all semi-auto rifles banned.

All FULLY semi-auto rifles banned

Welcome to CT, except we only get 10 rounds.

Welcome to VA. We can all thank the white liberal women ages 18 - 50. Purple / Pink highlights are optional.

Any truth to the rumor the legislator responsible for this is an immigrant from Bangladash?

Senator Saddam Salim.

Only Dems voted for it in the Senate

DC just overturned the 10 round magazine limit as unconstitutional
