Lawmakers voted 69 to 62 in favor of a background check law, and a “red flag” bill passed by 68-62 votes. Both of the bills were passed by the Minnesota House last year, but both went nowhere in the Republican-controlled Senate.
A large group of gun control supporters were outside the chamber Thursday, demanding the House pass the measures again. One of these measures would expand background checks to online sales and gun shows. The other would allow police to seize a person’s weapon if a judge ruled they were a threat to themselves or others.
Both gun control advocates and gun control opponents are convinced they have voters on their side.
Since this is an election year, we will see if the voters really do or do not want gun control. “The people in Carver County are looking to me and my colleagues to preserve their Second Amendment rights, and they will come to the polls to defend their Second Amendment rights,” Rep. Jim Nash, R-Assistant Minority Leader, said.
Both measures are now headed to the Republican-controlled Senate.
