Klobuchar Pushes Minnesota AR-15 Ban as Supreme Court Prepares to Rule on Gun Rights
Ammoland ^

Posted on 11/09/2026 3:19:47 AM PST by Tench_Coxe

Minnesota Governor-elect Amy Klobuchar is wasting no time pushing for new restrictions on law-abiding gun owners, even as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to decide whether bans on commonly owned semiautomatic rifles violate the Second Amendment.

Just one day after winning the November 3 election, Klobuchar told reporters that legislation targeting firearms and magazines would be a top priority for her incoming administration.

“The gun safety bill is going to get passed,” Klobuchar declared during her November 4 press conference.

The timing is particularly significant. On December 2, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins, consolidated cases addressing whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect possession of AR-15s and similar semiautomatic rifles.

Who says the left doesn't have priorities?

They want their intended victims unable to fight back: "Someone (me) might get hurt once people real7ze what I really want to do to them"

The Ruger Mini 14: Semi automatic, Uses .223 ammunition
Has readily available 30 round magazines
Looks like a non-scary hunting rifle as it has a wood stock
Is the same rifle as an AR15
Liberals don’t mention wanting to ban the Ruger as it doesn’t look dangerous
Proof that people like Amy are ignorant and run with emotion

You can get wood furniture for the AR. Makes it look totally different.

Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect possession of AR-15s and similar semiautomatic rifles. I don’t see the M240 and M60 listed so no worries.

_______________
We know they are going to come for our guns. Here’s the problem they will try doing it sloooowly like the Minnesota initiative - one place at a time like the snakes they are. Let’s hope the Supreme Court continues to read the Constitution correctly. It’s the brick wall they can’t get through for now. I assume this will be the red line for all Patriots and doing to one will mean doing it to all. In other words, everyone sticks together because we all know the dire downsides.

Day one and she wants to take your guns. Not the guns used in crimes, but the guns in common use. There is only one reason the left wants to ban the AR.
Molon labe, beotch.

Don’t worry, they’ll get around to the Mini-14 soon enough. It’ll be an extra slap in the face after a year of insufferable jackasses milking the rifle for “content” and views.

“The Ruger Mini 14: Semi automatic, Uses .223 ammunition

Shortly after Walmart stopped selling AR 15s I went into the local one (which still sold firearms) and sure enough they had a Mini 14 in the display case. I laughed out loud.

Is the mini 14 still in production? It was way overpriced.

Still in production, still overpriced (it’s Ruger). Better used deals on Gun Broker.

What does a government do as soon as it disarms its subjects?

Anything it wants.

Didn’t take Demwits long to begin to implement their anti-American agenda.

When they pack the court they will waste no time in declaring the Constitution to be unConstitutional.

I’m 80% sure there are no unregistered firearms in Minnesota.
