Early this morning, the Public Safety / Judiciary Conference Committee passed the Omnibus Public Safety Finance & Policy Bill with all of the pro-gun provisions intact.
This means one of the most important pro-gun pieces of legislation in several years will soon be on the House & Senate floors for a vote:
- Removing the ability of the Governor to order your firearms seized during an "emergency"
- Removing the redundant notification process to exercise your Second Amendment rights at the State Capitol
- Clarifying existing Minnesota law to allow the purchase of long guns in other states
- Simplifying the reciprocity process for permits to carry
- Legalizing suppressors for all lawful purposes by civilians
Your calls and e-mails throughout the day yesterday helped make it clear that our Second Amendment rights weren't up for negotiation.
The fight isn't over yet - the legislation will be on the House and Senate floor shortly, perhaps as early as today. It can't be amended there, but it could still be voted down.
