Bill > SF719

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to add a new section to the Minnesota Constitution explicitly protecting the right of people to keep and bear arms. Specifically, the amendment would add language drawn from the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, stating "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The proposed amendment would be submitted to voters at the 2026 general election, with the ballot question asking: "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to protect the right of the people to keep and bear arms?" The ballot measure would have the title "Protection of the people's right to keep and bear arms" and require voters to choose either "Yes" or "No" on the proposed constitutional change. If approved by voters, this amendment would provide explicit state constitutional protection for gun ownership rights, mirroring similar protections in the federal Constitution.
