Rep. Duran Comments on Ramsey County Court Ruling, Calls Out DFL Omnibus Abuse

St. Paul, MN – Representative Bidal Duran (R-Bemidji) issued the following statement after a Ramsey County judge struck down the state’s ban on binary trigger devices, ruling it was unconstitutionally included in a massive 2024 omnibus bill.

“This ruling is a victory for the Constitution and for law-abiding gun owners. The court made clear what Minnesotans already know: Democrats cannot bury controversial policies inside massive omnibus bills. These tactics undermine transparency and disrespect the people we serve.”

Duran added, “The Second Amendment is not negotiable, and I will continue to oppose any effort to criminalize responsible gun owners or weaken our freedoms.”
