Minnesota Senate Democrats Push Sweeping Gun Control Package Targeting AR-15s & Magazines

Summary

Minnesota Senate Democrats are advancing a sweeping gun control package, Senate File 3655, targeting AR-15s, magazines over 10 rounds, 'ghost guns,' and binary triggers. Authored by DFL Senator Zaynab Mohamed, the bill would require existing owners to certify banned firearms by February 1, 2027, and passed the Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committee 6-3. It is now set to be incorporated into SF 4067, a broader omnibus bill, though the tied Minnesota House remains an obstacle.
