STILL NO ACTION ON GUN VIOLENCE PACKAGE IN MN HOUSE

This is the final week of the legislative session and it’s unknown whether the Minnesota House will take up a comprehensive gun violence prevention package. The legislation already passed the DFL-controlled Senate. Maggiy (Maggie) Emery  of Protect Minnesota has a message for Republicans who appear to be blocking a vote. She said,”Look at your colleagues who were gunned down in their home. Look at the children who were shot to death while praying in a church. It’s not true that there’s nothing that we can’t do.”  The Senate package includes a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines – something House Republicans say they will not vote for.
