Possession of semiautomatic military-style assault weapons banned, and criminal penalties provided.

This bill prohibits individuals in Minnesota from possessing specific semiautomatic military-style assault weapons and establishes criminal penalties for violations. It directly affects firearm owners, dealers, and manufacturers by defining banned weapons through a combination of specific model lists and functional criteria based on features like detachable magazines, pistol grips, and high-capacity magazines. The legislation amends existing state statutes to clarify which firearms are restricted, including certain rifles, pistols, shotguns, and conversion kits that resemble military weapons.
