Gun Bans off the table in Minnesota

According to a report in the Minnesota Star Tribune, there will be no so-called assault rifle bans, or magazine restrictions in Minnesota this year.

"The assault weapons ban and high-capacity magazine ban proposals are highly divisive,” said Latz, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Legions of concerned gun owners turned out for three days of hearings on gun issues last week, and Latz said such bans also do not have strong support from law enforcement.
