Last year, the Minnesota State House passed background checks and red flag legislation, two lifesaving bills that would help reduce gun violence in our state. But leadership in the State Senate refused to even hold public hearings on the legislation.
Now, we need the State Senate to take action and pass these critical gun safety bills.
Send a message to your state senator now:
As your constituent, I'm urging you to address gun violence in Minnesota by passing lifesaving background checks and red flag legislation this session.
These bills will help stop gun tragedies before they happen. In Minnesota, 63% of all homicides involve a gun. Firearms are the leading cause of death for children — and 63% of those deaths occur by gun suicide. Our communities need common-sense gun safety measures to help prevent gun violence.
Please prioritize public safety and pass background checks and a lifesaving red flag bill in Minnesota.
