Possession of semiautomatic military-style assault weapons banishment
Minnesota's SF 3654 bans possession of specific semiautomatic firearms defined as "military-style assault weapons," including models like AR-15s, AK-47s, and Uzis, as well as weapons with features such as folding stocks, pistol grips, or magazines holding more than 10 rounds. The bill defines banned weapons broadly to cover redesigned versions of listed models and firearms meeting certain feature criteria (e.g., detachable magazines, threaded barrels). It directly affects individuals who legally possess these firearms in Minnesota, requiring them to comply with the ban or face criminal penalties. The legislation amends multiple statutes to establish these prohibitions and penalties, focusing on reducing access to weapons classified under this definition.
