SINE DIE: The Legislative Biennium has adjourned with no new gun control

✅SINE DIE.

The 2025-2026 legislative biennium is over. Dozens of gun control bills introduced.

Zero passed.

That doesn't happen by accident.

That happens because:

Over the past two years, you, our members and supporters, sent hundreds of thousands of emails to your legislators. You made tens of thousands of phone calls.

You showed up to hearings. You testified. You wrote letters to the editor. You talked to your neighbors. You did not let up.

And House and Senate Republicans held the line. Every single time.

Speaker Lisa Demuth in particular deserves enormous credit — when the pressure from Governor Walz and the gun control lobby was at its absolute peak, she did not cave.

Not on the omnibus bill. Not on the magazine ban.

Not on the semi-auto ban. Not on red flag expansion.

Not on a single one of the dozens of anti-gun bills they tried to push through.

Thank you. Every one of you. This was your win.

But take the win for a moment, because we don't have long.

The 2026 elections are right around the corner.

The same legislators who just spent two years trying to ban your rifles, your magazines, and your ability to carry are running for reelection. The Governor's mansion is on the ballot. The Minnesota House and Senate are on the ballot.

Starting now, our focus turns to one thing: making sure Minnesota has a pro-Second Amendment majority in the House, the Senate, and the Governor's mansion when the 2027 session gavels in.

We held the line for two years. Now we go on offense.

17 hours left — we're at the Capitol until midnight

Quick update from the Caucus team on the ground:

Session ends at midnight tonight. Despite a brutal session for the DFL on gun control — they got beaten back at almost every turn — they still have until the gavel to try to attach their gun ban language to something.

Conference reports, supplemental budget bills, whatever vehicle they can find moving in the final hours.

We'll be at the Capitol later today, and we'll be here until the session ends.

Watching every committee, every floor action, every conference committee report.

If you haven't taken action yet, now's the moment: gunowners.mn/action

It's totally worth calling your House member one final time today.

Will post updates here as the night goes on. AMA if you've got questions about what's actually in play vs. what's noise.

HOLD THE LINE.

The DFL is trying to pull a fast one again. HF 5140 (AWB/HCM Ban, sister to SF) has been brought to the house floor "in urgency" and being debated now.

"In the Minnesota House, if a bill is declared an urgency, two-thirds of the members (at least 90 of 134 representatives) can vote to bypass the constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three different days. This allows the house to speed up consideration, enabling immediate debate, amendment, and final passage in a single day."

I'm not trying to stoke fear but keep you all informed. With the supermajority required we should be good, but wanted to get it out there for everyone.

Asked a DNR officer via email about shooting with nods at Rum River State Forest, here was her response....

Sounds like we'll have to go over the border.

About 2,000 rounds through my Alien so far and I’ve really enjoyed shooting it

The shooting experience honestly feels next level, especially because of the extremely low bore axis and how closely the recoil tracks with your hand and wrist.

That said, I’ve definitely noticed it likes to stay clean... Have to clean it quite often

Anyone else here running an Alien? Curious how your experience has been.

Two Quick Actions from MNGOC

Six Days. One Vote Away.

From an email sent by the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus:

Friends,

The anti-gun crowd just put their cards on the table.

This morning, CBS Minnesota ran a story pressuring Speaker Lisa Demuth to bring the 2026 gun control omnibus to the House floor before session ends.

Annunciation parents are now the public face of a coordinated DFL pressure campaign. Governor Walz is amplifying it on social media. Rep. Jamie Long is doing the interviews. The Senate has already passed the bill.

Walz has said he will sign it.

Make no mistake: the Speaker controls whether this bill hits the floor, but she can also be overridden by a vote of the body.

A single wobbly Republicans in a 67-67 House is all it takes. This is not a sure thing.

The bill has not passed a single House committee.

Not Judiciary. Not Public Safety. Not Education Finance. Not Human Services Finance.

The DFL wants to skip every one of them and force a floor vote in the closing days of session.

We have to make sure that does not happen.

TWO QUICK ACTIONS - TAKE THEM NOW

  1. Email Speaker Demuth directly. Tell her: "Do not call the 2026 gun control omnibus for a vote." Keep it short, keep it respectful, and tell her you are a Minnesota gun owner who is counting on her to hold the line. She's on our side of peaceable law-abiding gun owners.

Send it to: rep.lisa.demuth@house.mn.gov

  1. Go to the MNGOC Action Center. Send the pre-written message to your own state representative telling them you oppose the bill and expect them to vote no if it reaches the floor.

Every email matters.

Tell Speaker Demuth to stay strong!

All:

Whipped up another email this time for Speaker Lisa, if the DFL is blasting her on Socials she must be holding them up! Tell her to stay strong. Here is an email I drafted you can use:

Dear Speaker Demuth,

I am writing to you today to strongly urge you to hold the line and prevent SF 4067 from coming to a vote on the House floor.

This legislation is far more than just a policy disagreement; it is a bedrock issue for your constituents and for voters across the entire state of Minnesota. SF 4067 places severe and unwarranted burdens on regular, law-abiding Minnesotans while doing little to address actual crime. It penalizes responsible citizens who simply want to exercise their Second Amendment rights to protect their families or enjoy recreational shooting.

We are relying on your strength and your position as Speaker to stop this overreach. Standing firm on this issue isn't just the right thing to do for Minnesota's present—it is a defining moment for its future. Voters statewide are desperately looking for principled leaders who refuse to cave under pressure. Demonstrating strong, unwavering leadership against SF 4067 will undoubtedly resonate with the electorate and significantly bolster your prospects should you consider a run for higher office. Minnesotans remember who stands up for their fundamental rights.

Thank you for your time, your service, and your continued dedication to defending the rights of regular Minnesotans.

Sincerely,

Open carry in the woods and on the waters?

So I've noticed there are a lot of differing answers to this question on here. Can anyone clarify the rules. Also, this is strictly asking about people who DO NOT have a concealed carry permit. Do I have to be hunting or target shooting in order to legally carry a firearm openly in the woods or on the waters? I've always been under the impression that its legal to open carry a firearm in the woods or waters and it would only be a problem if i were to carry it concealed. But it appears that some people believe that you can't carry a firearm in the woods or on the waters unless you are hunting. Who's right? I live way north on the edge of superior national forest and ive never heard of anyone getting in trouble for carying rheir gun out in the woods when its not small game or deer season.

Archbishop's Letter to Gov. Walz - Magazine Ban, "Ghost" Guns, and Binary Triggers

Not sure if others have seen this letter. The Archbishop of Minneapolis and St. Paul is calling on Gov. Walz to push for a magazine ban (H.F. 3402/S.F. 3714), ban on the sale of "ghost" guns (H.F. 3407/S.F. 3661), and binary triggers (H.F. 3368/S.F. 4200).

There are other policies that the Archbishop, and other MN bishops are supporting listed in the letter as well.

Out of state license but I possess a handgun

Hey there I have a question, I moved away from Minnesota and gained residency in Maine, which is a constitutional carry state, while there I purchased a handgun and I have now moved back to Minnesota but I don’t have a Minnesota license yet and I plan on doing a canoe trip up north and was debating on bringing my handgun, is it legal for me to have it just in my backpack unloaded and in a case? Or would it still go against needing a permit to “carry” a handgun in Minnesota
