I have another URGENT ALERT for gun owners in Minnesota!
Please read the email below for all the details and TAKE ACTION to save our Second Amendment.
I told you before about radical leftist Representative Cedrick Frazier introducing ‘Red Flag Gun Seizures Orders’ in the Minnesota House as H.F. 15.
Now, Communist Senator Ron Latz has introduced the Senate companion Red Flag bill, S.F. 1117 and he wants to hold hearings on the bill in his Senate Judiciary Committee!
The Leftist media, Governor Walz, Speaker Hortman and Senate Majority Leader Dziedzic are desperate to ram this gun control into law in 2023.
In fact, we know that this bill is the NUMBER ONE bill that Senator Ron Latz is hoping to pass yet this year.
We need every gun owner in this state to STAND and FIGHT with Minnesota Gun Rights!
More on that below.
WHAT RED FLAG LAWS DO:
If enacted, ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure Orders’ would allow virtually anyone to make a claim that you are a danger to yourself or someone else and ask a judge to order you stripped of your firearms.
The amount of room for abuse in this process should have every gun owner in Minnesota alarmed.
Consider the following:
- These gun seizure orders will be issued before you have been convicted, or even charged, with anything!A gun owner with absolutely no criminal background of any kind can have his firearms seized before he ever sets foot in a courtroom. You would have more due process rights in traffic court than you would in defending your constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
- The hearing that determines whether or not to strip you of your firearms happen in secret!Known as ex-parte proceedings, these hearings take place in your absence. You will have no ability to question your accuser, provide your own evidence, or testify in your own defense.In fact, the first time you will be made aware of this is when law enforcement officers come to your home to seize your firearms.
- The mere fact that you recently purchased a firearm or any ammunition constitutes evidence that can be used against you!In many drafted Red Flags bills, under the list of ‘evidence’ that the court can consider in deciding to disarm you is the ‘recent acquisition of a firearm, ammunition, or other weapons.’So just buying a firearm or a box of .22’s could be enough for a judge to order you stripped of your firearms.
Every gun owner in the state knows someone who has gone through a bad divorce; maybe you’ve gone through that misery yourself.
Can you imagine what an angry ex-spouse could do to you if Minnesota enacts this legislation? How about a neighbor who doesn’t like your MGR bumper sticker?
The risk to gun owners is ENDLESS!
That’s why my goal is to generate a MOUNTAIN of petitions in opposition to House File 15 and now Senate File 1117 before the legislature has a chance to start pushing it through the Senate!
But I need your help!
First, please sign the petition that we’ve prepared and submit it back to us right away. This will make sure that your legislators know where you stand on this important issue.
Second, please agree to your most generous contribution so that we can get the word out to as many gun owners as possible about this and get them involved!
Your generosity will help us crank up the heat now, in these critical weeks.
Whether that’s $5 or $500, we need all the help we can get to shut down S.F. 1117 and H.F. 15 that the DFL majorities are pushing in St Paul!
Thank you for all your help and I’ll keep you updated on the bill!
For Freedom,
Ben Dorr,
Executive Director
Minnesota Gun Rights
P.S. Senator Ron Latz has introduced S.F. 1117, the companion bill to Rep Cedrick Frazier’s H.F. 15, “Red Flag Gun Seizure” laws!
This bill would annihilate your right to Due Process and allow your firearms to be seized and stolen by government agents simply because someone complained about you.
