Minnesota Gun Owers! HF 241

[dezfan]

Ok guys, time to get ahold of your representatives and let them know where you stand on this BS!

As you may know, Missouri Democrats have introduced an anti-gun bill which would turn law-abiding firearm owners into criminals this week. Gun owners will have 90 days to turn in their guns if the legislation is passed.

Here is the language:

4. Any person who, prior to the effective date of this law, was legally in possession of an assault weapon or large capacity magazine shall have ninety days from such effective date to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution:

(1) Remove the assault weapon or large capacity magazine from the state of Missouri;

(2) Render the assault weapon permanently inoperable; or

(3) Surrender the assault weapon or large capacity magazine to the appropriate law enforcement agency for destruction, subject to specific agency regulations.

5. Unlawful manufacture, import, possession, purchase, sale, or transfer of an assault weapon or a large capacity magazine is a class C felony.

Minnesota Democrats are pushing similar legislation using nearly identical language as the Missouri bill.

MN H.F. No. 241, as introduced – 88th Legislative Session (2013-2014) Posted on Jan 31, 2013

10.20 Sec. 7. PERSONS POSSESSING ASSAULT WEAPONS ON EFFECTIVE DATE
ACT; REQUIRED ACTIONS.

Any person who, on February 1, 2013, legally owns or is in possession of an assault weapon has until September 1, 2013, to do any of the following without being subject to prosecution under Minnesota Statutes, section 624.7133:

(1) remove the weapon from the state;

(2) surrender the weapon to a law enforcement agency for destruction;

(3) render the weapon permanently inoperable; or

(4) if eligible, register the weapon as provided in Minnesota Statutes, section 624.7133, subdivision 5.


The time to stand up is now!

Representatives don't give a shit. They get 1000's of emails a day and don't even read them or really give a shit what some plain Jane guy thinks. All they care is about themselves and there money. They get bribed and bought out every day. Really pisses me off

Emailing and calling does help as it at least gives them an idea of how many people will be voting against them in the next election. Showing up at the capital whenever their is hearings also helps. If you aren't doing anything, don't complain when or if any of these laws get passed..

You would be very suprised! I have emailed mine and gotten personally written responses. Ive also called them and spoken directly to them. Allot in smaller districts dont even have secretary's or staff. Even if they dont read the emails or pick up the phone, the worst you can do is not try.

straight from my mind to tapatalk

I have emailed and sent letters over the internet with no responses. I belong to a hunting forum also and there a lot of people with the same results on there. I own many guns and all for defending the 2nd amendment so yes I will bitch if stupid laws will get passed. It's all the politicians that get paid off everyday that really pisses me off. They seriously don't give a damn.
