Videos tagged with Minnesota Preemption Law

The city of Minneapolis has adopted a gun control ordinance that is largely unenforceable due to Minnesota's state preemption law. The ordinance attempts to ban 'assault weapons,' high-capacity magazines (defined as over 10 rounds), and ghost guns, along with implementing stricter storage and carrying rules. However, the ordinance explicitly acknowledges it cannot be enforced unless the state preemption law is repealed or the state adopts similar legislation. This move is characterized as political grandstanding and virtue signaling, with legal challenges expected, similar to actions taken in St. Paul.
