Prior to this last weekend’s mass shootings in places where guns are banned, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed a “friend of the court” brief to help the state of California uphold their ban on rifle and pistol magazines that contain over 10 rounds.
Keith Ellison wants this sort of ban on magazine capacity to become law in Minnesota. This would affect hunters and those who have a handgun for protection of their family, property, and themselves. Many semi-automatic pistols have double stack magazines that can hold up to 15 or more bullets depending on the caliber of the bullet. Larger caliber bullets like the .40 or .45 will usually be in smaller single stack magazines
Brian Strawser the Chair of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, a non-partisan group, sent out the letter below urging people to help stop MN Attorney General Keith Ellison from doing a similar California Ban here in Minnesota. There are links you may follow if you want using your free will. ~~ Publius Jr.
| Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has filed an amicus curiae brief in the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals calling for the court to uphold California’s absolute ban on rifle and pistol magazines that hold more than ten rounds and permit states to pass other unspecified gun control measures – claiming that such measures do not infringe upon the Second Amendment.
If this law is upheld, Californians will have to turn in or destroy magazines that hold more than ten rounds. Keith Ellison is arguing that Minnesota should be able to do the same! You can read the amicus curiae brief at this link. The case is Duncan v. Becerra. This could be a dangerous precedent if the court agrees with Keith Ellison – allowing states and other government bodies to pass extreme gun control laws – and have them upheld by the courts. TELL MN ATTORNEY GENERAL KEITH ELLISON TO REMOVE MINNESOTA FROM THIS AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF
We need to POUR ON THE PRESSURE TODAY in order to get Ellison to REMOVE MINNESOTA from this ridiculous brief. Visit our Action Center TODAY! Yours in Liberty, Bryan Strawser
