Minnesota Governor-Elect Promises passage of assault weapons ban

Minnesota Governor-Elect Amy Klobuchar has pledged to pass the state's "assault weapons" ban, a legislative priority that eluded her predecessor, Governor Tim Walz, throughout 2026. Klobuchar confirmed the bill's passage is a key focus for her administration, stating she is eager to work with legislative leaders to secure approval.

The proposed legislation targets "assault weapons," "high capacity" magazines, and "ghost guns," measures pushed by Democrats and leftist politicians in response to the August 27, 2025, shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. The ban failed to pass the legislature during Walz's tenure despite his strong advocacy.

The school shooting, which occurred while children were in Mass, left two children dead and 14 others wounded. The suspect, identified as transgender, was armed with a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol and left behind a video message addressing the victims.
