These Bills were put to committee yesterday March 12,2024.
We will keep you informed.
HF2828 (Hussein) Local governmental units authorized to prohibit or restrict possession of dangerous weapons, ammunition, or explosives in local government-owned or leased buildings and land.
HF3672 (Pinto) State preemption of local units of government regulating firearms repealed.
*** These two bills are very similar. It seems like the hope was if one failed the other would succeed. However, they would have similar disastrous results.**
HF 2828 - Ban on Carry at Government Buildings and Land
What it Does
This bill allows local government (cities, counties, townships, and others) to restrict the carry of firearms in government-owned or leased buildings or land.
This would allow local government entities to ban firearms in libraries, parks, recreation centers, government offices, and any other land or buildings that they own or lease. It would create a patchwork of laws across the state that would be impossible to follow.

HF 3672 - State Firearms Preemption Repeal
What it Does
This bill removes all statewide firearms preemption laws in Minnesota.
This bill would allow local units of government to make up their own permit laws and requirements, ban firearms & magazines, restrict carry however they choose to, and more. Cities could pass whatever gun control they want, change where you can carry, decide how you store firearms in your homes, and BAN AR-15s and other commonly owned firearms. It would create a patchwork of laws across the state that would be impossible to follow.
