#PROTECTUS
Gun owners and non-gun owners alike can find here resources for understanding the firearm violence epidemic in Minnesota, policies and actions we can take to end it, and how to mitigate the root causes of gun violence in their communities.

Congregational Toolkit
This toolkit serves as a guide to faith-driven people who are looking to get involved in the gun violence prevention movement.

2024 Legislative Session Policy Priorities
Significant progress was made in 2023 to make Minnesota a safer place to live and raise a family. Our coalition hopes to continue this momentum to see progress made on seven issues.

Fast Facts – Extreme Risk Protection Order
Minnesota law allows certain people to request an order from the court to prohibit someone from purchasing or possessing a firearm. This type of order is called an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO).

Minnesota must ban guns from polling places
With violent political rhetoric on the rise, it is imperative that all places where votes are cast be safe.

Background Checks and Permits for All Gun Sales
Comprehensive background checks would prevent prohibited buyers from purchasing a gun. This legislation would close the loophole that allows those who can’t legally purchase a gun from doing so anyway from a private dealer.

Require Secure Storage of Firearms
Minnesota currently only has child access prevention laws which are only applied after tragedies have occurred. Requiring secure storage of firearms would help prevent accidents and other fatalities.
