Yesterday, March 10, House File 2960, was defeated in the Crime Victims/Criminal Records Sub-Committee by a vote of 5-3.  Anti-gun State Representative Michael Paymar (DFL-64B) will undoubtedly continue to seek additional ways to push his “Gun Show” legislation, despite strong opposition from his colleagues and firearm supporters across Minnesota.  State Representative Michael Paymar claims he knows what is best for NRA members.  Please let him know that as a resident of Minnesota and an NRA member, you are against his unfounded attacks on gun shows.

Unfortunately, the “Pet Protective Order Bill”, House File 1396, cleared the sub-committee on a voice vote.  Conviction of violating a protective order, based on unjustified interference with, for example a gerbil, would result in an automatic three-year ban on handgun possession.
