For the last four years, you and I and countless thousands of gun owners in Minnesota have managed to block every attempt by the legislature to pass ‘Red Flag Gun Seizures’ — even when the Republicans were openly pushing it.
But the fight that we’ll be facing over ‘Red Flags’ next session will be unlike anything that we’ve dealt with before.
No, this isn’t a drill.
In late June, Joe Biden signed a broad gun control bill into law (S. 2938) that allows him to spend $750,000,000 to bribe state legislatures across America into passing ‘Red Flag Gun Seizures.’
That means that if our legislature passes ‘Red Flag’ laws in St. Paul, they could receive a jaw-dropping TWENTY-FIVE TO FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS from Joe Biden and the Department of InJustice!
If enacted, ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ legislation would allow virtually anyone to make a claim that you are a danger to yourself or someone else and ask a judge to order the confiscation of your firearms, and you won’t know a thing about it until it’s too late.
While many politicians here in St. Paul are normally opposed to ‘Red Flag’ laws, that number will shrink fast with the federal government waving tens of millions of dollars in their faces, especially if we have another mass shooting in America!
Democrats in St. Paul, like Tim Walz and Melissa Hortman, can already sense this weakness.
That’s why they’ve they have been on a non-stop media blitz for several months, trying to whip up support for ‘Red Flag’ laws, temping everyone with the allure of ‘free’ money.
But Democrats aren’t the only ones pushing this. Over a dozen RINO Senators in D.C. are fully onboard and voted for this trash in the Senate.
Not only that, they worked for ten days to ensure that fourteen other Republican RINOs voted for this horrible bill, too, giving Biden the ‘bi-partisan’ cover he wanted so badly.
And that’s why so many RINOs in Minnesota think they can get away with it too.
With RINOs like Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney and John Cornyn baking this bill, we’re hearing that over a dozen Republicans in Minnesota are talking about moving this legislation at the state level next session!
If this happens — if Minnesota passes ‘Red Flag Gun Seizures’ — the damage to our gun rights and to the idea of ‘innocent until proven guilty’ would be almost incalculable.
That’s because ‘Red Flag Gun Seizure’ legislation would:
- Obliterate our due process rights by allowing a liberal judge to order the confiscation of your firearms before you have been arrested, charged, or convicted of anything!
A Minnesotan with no criminal background whatsoever could have his firearms confiscated before he ever sets foot in a courtroom. You would have more rights in traffic court!
- Allow the hearings that determine whether or not a judge confiscates your firearms to occur in secret, meaning you wouldn’t even know about it until the cops are at your door. Because these sham hearings are held in secret you will have no ability to question your accuser, testify in your own defense, hire a lawyer, or provide counter evidence!
- Create a bizarre list of ‘evidence’ that could be used against you in a ‘red flag’ hearing. In many cases, the recent purchase of a firearm or ammunition could be used to make the case that you are ‘dangerous’!
Imagine how twisted you must be to write a bill that allows the exercise of your Second Amendment rights to be used as ‘evidence’ against you in a hearing to confiscate your firearms? But that’s exactly what this bill does.
The idea of allowing someone to lose their gun rights based on a mere accusation, before any criminal conviction is absolutely evil. But in today’s era of ‘cancel culture’ tactics and the weaponization of the court against gun owners, it’s terrifying!
>>> DON’T LET THEM RED FLAG MINNESOTA! <<<
I hope you understand just how backwards this is.
In most red and purple states across the country right now, Republican lawmakers are fighting with everything they’ve got to EXPAND the Second Amendment rights of gun owners in their states to protect them from Joe Biden’s tyranny.
Three states passed Stand-Your-Ground law in the last eighteen months to give gun owners a fighting chance against violent criminals.
Four State Attorneys General have filed hard hitting lawsuits against Joe Biden’s unconstitutional Executive Orders, taking the fight for freedom to the Federal Court and even the Supreme Court.
And Missouri passed the nation’s first Second Amendment Preservation Act law with teeth last year, requiring Missouri cops to enforce Missouri law when it comes to firearms and ammunition while specifying that police departments that violate SAPA law and enforce federal gun control laws are open to civil lawsuits.
But already, RINO’s in St. Paul are talking about trying to pass ‘Red Flag Laws!’
>>> SIGN YOUR PETITION IMMEDIATELY! <<<
The fact that we even have to worry about any of this is absurd in a state with a sizable Republican majority in the Senate and a likely GOP majority in the House next session — especially as Republicans across the country are pushing legislation that makes ‘Red Flag’ laws illegal!
But with the support of many RINO’s — and the promise of tens of millions of dollars from Joe Biden — support for this legislation will continue to grow until gun owners take action.
And when you do, I hope that you’ll consider including a generous donation so that Minnesota Gun Rights can mobilize tens of thousands of gun owners to FIGHT BACK against this legislation in advance of the 2023 legislature using a combination of:
- Hard-hitting digital and social media ads in targeted districts, making it clear to politicians who are on the fence on ‘Red Flags’ that backing this legislation comes with severe consequences at election time.
- Utilizing our massive email and direct mail programs to mobilize gun owners with up-to-the minute information from the Capitol and allowing them to send pre-written emails directly to their legislators.
- Preparing radio and TV ad campaigns that we can roll out the moment that committee action and floor votes are announced. These ads are expensive, but nothing activates large numbers of gun owners quicker than a combined radio and TV advertising blitz.
Every part of our program is designed for just one purpose: to inundate the politicians in St. Paul with a tidal wave of calls and emails from gun owners in their districts, reminding them that if they vote for ‘Red Flag Gun Seizures,’ they will feel the political pain!
It’s what Minnesota Gun Rights does best.
But running this program is expensive.
I know it’s a lot, especially with Biden’s inflation at double digits and gas prices sky high. But if we don’t flood the legislature will pressure against this bill, it will pass and countless Minnesotans will be disarmed by liberal, Minnesota judges.
Our forefathers fought to secure the freedoms that we enjoy today. But these freedoms are under attack in ways that we have never seen. Now our children and grandchildren are counting on you and me to hold the line for their freedoms.
Take action now!
For Minnesota,
Ben Dorr
Executive Director
Minnesota Gun Rights
P.S. The federal gun control bill that Joe Biden recently signed allows him to bribe state legislatures into passing ‘Red Flag Gun Seizures.’ And with Senate RINO’s like Mitt Romney, Linsey Graham and Marco Rubio voting for this bill in D.C., weak Republicans in St. Paul are considering passing it next session!
These laws do nothing to stop crime, while allowing liberal judges to shred your due process rights and confiscate your guns before you have been charged, arrested, or convicted of ANYTHING!

And when you do, please make a donation of $500, $250, $100, $75, $50, or whatever you can afford, so that we can crush this legislation and send a message to the politicians in St. Paul!
