This video explains Minnesota's state preemption law, which grants the state legislature exclusive jurisdiction over firearm regulations, rendering municipal ordinances void. It highlights that St. Paul's new gun ordinance, attempting to ban assault weapons and restrict firearms in sensitive places, is likely unenforceable and will lead to costly legal battles for taxpayers. The video emphasizes that such local ordinances are often expensive 'virtue signals' that are ultimately defeated by preemption laws.

A judge has temporarily halted an impending gun ban in Deerfield, Illinois, following a lawsuit filed by the NRA. The ban, which targeted 'assault weapons' like AR-15s and Kalashnikovs, was set to take effect on June 13th, 2018. This ruling represents a temporary victory against municipally sponsored gun control measures that may violate state preemption laws.
