Tomorrow, March 18, the House Commerce, Finance, and Policy Committee is scheduled to hear HB 3938, another key piece of Governor Walz’s 2026 Gun Violence Prevention Package, which would mandate that every firearm owner in Minnesota carry at least $100,000 in liability insurance. If you cannot prove you have this coverage, you could face criminal penalties, including fines and potential misdemeanor charges.
How to Take Action on HF 3938
Use the Take Action button below to contact the committee and urge them to vote “No” on HB 3938. This isn’t just another bill; it is a calculated attempt to make firearm ownership so expensive and legally risky that the next generation of sportsmen simply can’t afford to participate. If we don’t hold the line now, we are allowing our way of life to be regulated into extinction.
Why This Fight Matters: The Risks of Mandatory Insurance
HF 3938 is not about gun violence prevention; it is a calculated attempt to make firearm ownership a legal minefield for responsible hunters and shooters. Here is why this bill is a disaster for our community:
- Outsourcing Your Rights: This bill forces you to obtain a “permission slip” from a private insurance company just to exercise a Constitutional right. It sets a terrifying precedent where a private corporation, not the law, decides who is “eligible” to be a gun owner.
- Criminalizing the Responsible: This mandate does absolutely nothing to deter violent criminals, who will never seek out liability coverage. Instead, it creates a “paperwork trap” that turns honest sportsmen into criminals over a missing insurance document.
- A Campaign of Attrition: This is one piece of a radical package, including ammo taxes and storage mandates, designed to dismantle our traditions by making ownership legally and administratively exhausting.
Hearing Details and Live Stream Information
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 8:15 a.m. in Capitol room 120. If you are unable to attend, you can watch the hearing online.
Minnesota’s Legacy is on the Line
Minnesota’s sportsmen and gun owners are facing a defining moment. This is no longer just a legislative debate; it is a direct assault on our heritage. If we remain silent, radical activists will continue their campaign of attrition until our traditions are dismantled piece by piece. We cannot permit our way of life to be regulated into extinction.
Share this alert immediately with your family, friends, and fellow sportsmen and gun owners. We must flood the Capitol with a unified voice.
