HF 3022 could make California seem “gun-friendly.”
If you live in Minnesota, be afraid. Be very afraid. Then get busy.
A nasty piece of gun control legislation called HF 3022 has been introduced, and it is hell on gun rights. Not only does it restrict just about everything related to firearms, it also makes gun owners’ information public, as in how many guns you own and of what type, and your home address.
A Facebook post by AccuTac Arms, which calls itself “the largest stocking dealer of NFA items in Minnesota,” sums it up like this:
For everyone in MN.
Here it comes

Almost forgot an important thing —
HF 3022 would also make gun owner private data public. This would include:
Number and type of guns you own
Your address
Anyone think that’s okay?
If you haven’t joined the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus, please do.
Yikes!
If this becomes law, folks in California can at least bask in the knowledge that they’re no longer living in the most anti-gun state in the USA.
You can read the entire text of HF 3022 here.
It seems unlikely that it will pass, especially as is, but it is still a huge threat — and a clear example of anti-gunners’ end goal: The destruction of civilian gun ownership in the USA. One big hurdle is that it violates HIPPA privacy laws by requiring citizens to give their medical information to law enforcement entities before they can purchase a gun. It also opens the door (pun intended) to warrantless searches of citizens’ homes.
It also bans “assault weapons” and requires owners to surrender or destroy them without compensation.
MN residents need to mobilize and fight this at all costs. Check out the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus here.
The current status on March 1, 2018 according to this site is that it was introduced on February 26, 2018 and referred to “Public Safety and Security Policy and Finance.”
