Minnesota state law prohibits cities and other local governments from regulating firearms, ammunition, and related components, except for regulating the discharge of firearms and having ordinances identical to state law. This "firearm preemption" statute, Minn. Stat. § 471.633, completely excludes cities from establishing their own regulations and is a barrier to local gun control measures, such as those advocated for by some Minnesota mayors.

There was a press conference today held by Frey & Carter as well as several suburban mayors asking for a change to this law if the state fails to pass stricter gun reform.
