Tuesday
1. Sensible Gun Control
Is now finally the time when our elected officials will take the steps to provide sensible gun control laws? It seems like our children may be leading the way towards effective change. If you haven’t already, watch this moving speech by Emma Gonzalez, a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. She calls out politicians who take money from the NRA. https://www.cnn.com/…/florida-student-emma-gonza…/index.html
Wow.

#NoNRAMoney has a website that allows voters to pledge to oppose any candidates who take NRA money. It also allows candidates to publicly reject the NRA. https://www.nonramoney.org/

Minnesota’s state legislators get back to work today. Check out this list of pending gun legislation. (Thanks, S.K. from Indivisible Minnesota Local)
Stand Your Ground ( HF0236, SF0292): This bill allows you to shoot and kill a felon even if there are non-lethal options available.
No Permit Needed to Carry a Concealed Gun (HF0188, SF0650): This bill eliminates the need for a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
Gun Violence Protective Orders Authorized (HF1605, SF1262): This bill would allow law enforcement or a family member to petition a court to prevent a dangerous individual from possessing a gun.
Universal Background Check Required for Private Gun Sales (HF1669, SF1261): Currently, there are no laws in Minnesota requiring background checks for private gun sales.
Bump Stocks Outlawed (HF2781): This bill would outlaw devices that turn semi-automatic weapons into automatic ones.
Call you state legislators today. Welcome them back and let them know that Minnesota wants action.
If you would like to follow what is happening locally I recommend getting to know these two groups.
