Plain-Language Summary

States that the legislature does not intend to regulate hunting rifles and shotguns, burden law-abiding pistol or assault weapon owners with fees, or confiscate lawfully held firearms.

Practical Notes
This is a policy statement. It clarifies that Minnesota’s firearms laws target pistols and semiautomatic military-style assault weapons, not standard hunting guns.
