A Minnesota House bill, HF 3433, proposes a ban on the possession and transfer of a wide range of semiautomatic firearms.
Current owners of soon-to-be-prohibited firearms could retain them only by obtaining a law enforcement-issued “certificate of ownership.”
The certificate would require owners to store the firearms according to state-mandated rules and agree to law enforcement inspections of that storage.
The bill defines banned weapons by specific models and by a broad set of common features, affecting many popular firearms.
The proposal has advanced to a House committee, with a potential effective date of January 1, 2027, if passed into law.
In a move that has ignited fierce debate over constitutional rights and government overreach, Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota are advancing legislation that would not only ban a broad category of semiautomatic firearms but also condition continued ownership of currently legal guns on allowing law enforcement to inspect their storage inside private homes. The bill, HF 3433, represents one of the most aggressive state-level firearm proposals in recent years, directly challenging traditional interpretations of the Second and Fourth Amendments.
