A shift in the balance of power at the state Capitol has boosted the odds of lawmakers passing bills to reduce gun violence during the upcoming legislative session. The Democratic takeover of the Minnesota House includes so many freshmen who support tougher gun laws that staunch gun control opponents now consider the chamber to be hostile territory. The Senate, where the GOP maintains a one-vote majority, remains a question mark, though the chamber's top Republican, Majority Leader Paul Gazelka of Nisswa, has signaled "some openness" to discussing gun proposals that got blocked in previous sessions .
Sen. Ron Latz, a Democrat from St. Louis Park, said he expects some kind of bill will become law for universal background checks for gun purchasers. He said he also expects approval of a "red flag" law that would let families and police get court orders to temporarily take guns away from people who are a danger to themselves or others. He lost a procedural effort to force a vote on both proposals last session.

Gun control my arse. It’s gun confiscation.
Muslim DemocRats want to disarm you.
The Twin Cities run the state.
Lesbians, too.
But..but...the press said we have an increased chance of “passing bills to reduce gun violence.” Surely, they can’t be talking seriously about gun control?
Try to keep up...
We who though MN might be salvaged were proved wrong on Nov. 6.
“lawmakers passing bills to reduce gun violence”
That’s not possible, and that’s not why they pass their stupid laws. Of course.
With the increasing E. African vote, my district in congress is gone forever.
Gun control in Minnesota? Sure, renounce Islam to buy or possess a gun. Otherwise, be on terrorist watch list.
Somalis aka “skinnies” have an average IQ of 70. They’re not afraid to die & gain their `72 virgins’. They believe their dark skin makes them invisible at night. They already know that a gun & badge gives them leave to murder innocent white women at will and that their Democrat governor will defend them.
Minnesotans will have to govern themselves accordingly.
The way it’s going in MN, renounce islam and you WILL be put on a terrorist watch list.
They are sectarian indeed. Many liberals, come up to them with libertarian ideas, and they will agree, put anything but Bernie Sanders or Hillary as a tag to these ideas and they will reject them or claim the Republicans are the ones who promote abortion.
Yeah; try living here in California!
Somali’s in Minnesota, this was the Obama air lift in the dead of night in the interior of the nation that was laughed at as ridiculous. The change he spoke about was just this, changing the voting demographics
Switzerland and Finland are among the top ten countries in gun density. They are also among the safest countries. Recommend copying whatever they do.
Dictatorship approaches.
“Switzerland and Finland are among the top ten countries in gun density. They are also among the safest countries. Recommend copying whatever they do.”
But they are much more homogeneous with actual Swiss and Finnish populations rather than this polyglot collection of the dregs of the world 5hat we are rapidly accumulating.
“The Twin Cities run the state.”
The big cities retty much run whatever state they are in and they suck.
