> So far this session, Minnesota gun owners have been able to fend off an avalanche of anti-2A legislation thanks to their grassroots activism, Republican House legislators, and the work of organizations like the MN Gun Owners Caucus. So far no standalone gun control bills have advanced out of House committees, where Republicans and Democrats hold an equal number of seats. Still, if the past is any kind of prologue, anti-gun lawmakers may try to pack some of these gun control measures into omnibus spending bills as they did in 2024, when they slipped a ban on binary triggers into a 1,400 page bill that dealt with dozens of different topics. > The MN Gun Owners Caucus sued over that move, arguing that the trigger ban violated the legislature's single subject rule. A circuit court judge agreed, and on Wednesday the Minnesota Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in the case. According to MN Gun Owners Law Center president Rob Doar, the state actually conceded during arguments that the binary trigger ban wasn't germane to the omnibus bill. Doar believes that means the binary trigger ban is now officially dead, but the 2A group is seeking a larger victory: an end to all omnibus legislation going forward.
