Minnesota lawmakers are advancing legislation that would ban possession of nearly every semiautomatic firearm in the state, creating what gun rights advocates warn constitutes one of the nation’s most aggressive attempts to criminalize commonly owned weapons while imposing unprecedented warrantless home inspections on gun owners who attempt to comply.
House File 3433 and its Senate companion SF 3654, introduced by DFL legislators in the 2026 Minnesota legislative session, carry the title “Possession of semiautomatic military style assault weapons banned, and criminal penalties provided.” The measures are part of a broader gun control package that includes companion bills and separate magazine capacity restrictions.
As of February 22, 2026, the bills were referred to the House Public Safety Finance and Policy Committee, with a hearing scheduled for February 24, 2026. The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus reported that the Senate versions were not moving as of that date, though the political dynamics remain precarious.
