Minnesota’s homebuilt firearm community is directly in the crosshairs.

The Minnesota Senate just passed SF 4067, and while politicians are selling it as a “public safety” bill, Minnesotans need to understand what this actually targets.

In plain English, SF 4067 does not just target complete firearms. It reaches into the parts, blanks, receivers, and build culture that law-abiding gun owners have used for years.

Under SF 4067, “ghost gun” language would include certain finished or unfinished frames and receivers without a state-recognized serial number. The bill also creates penalties around possession, sale, transfer, or distribution of covered unserialized firearms and unfinished frames or receivers.

The bill text gives existing owners a limited window to serialize through an FFL, remove the item from Minnesota, render it permanently inoperable, or surrender it for destruction.

And it is a direct attack on Minnesotans who build, customize, repair, and lawfully own their own firearms.

This is not some fringe corner of the Second Amendment. Homebuilding has always been part of American firearm culture. Law-abiding gun owners build for privacy, education, skill, self-reliance, and personal freedom.

Owning an 80% frame or receiver does not make someone a criminal.

But SF 4067 treats peaceful builders like a problem to be tracked, restricted, and punished.

And It Does Not Stop There

The same bill also moves toward restrictions on “semiautomatic military-style assault weapons” and “large-capacity magazines,” including magazines over 17 rounds.

That is a registry.

Once the state builds a registry, history has already told us what comes next.

We are heartbroken by violence against innocent people. Every decent person is. But punishing peaceable gun owners, builders, hobbyists, and collectors for the actions of evil people does not make Minnesota safer.

It only gives politicians another excuse to chip away at the rights of the people who actually follow the law.

Minnesotans use firearms, magazines, frames, receivers, and parts for self-defense, training, sport shooting, hunting, repairs, education, and protecting their families.

They are not the problem.

Minnesota Gun Owners Need to Act Now

This bill already passed the Senate by a single vote.

Now it moves to the House, and this is where Minnesotans need to make noise.

Contact your state representative today and tell them to vote NO on SF 4067 and any bill that turns lawful gun owners and homebuilders into paperwork criminals.

• Do not wait until this becomes law.
• Do not assume someone else is making the call.
• Do not let politicians use tragedy as cover to strip rights from the people who had nothing to do with it.
