MN SF3655 would ban semiautomatic ‘military-style’ assault weapons and large-capacity magazines; committee advanced
State bill SF3655 — Minnesota — status: in committee
Official title: Possession of semiautomatic military-style assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines banishment
What it does
Senate File 3655 is a Minnesota bill that would prohibit possession (and likely sale and transfer) of certain semiautomatic “military-style” assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines. The bill has been reported out of committee as amended and was re‑referred to the Finance Committee as of the latest action.
Industry impact
If enacted, the measure would remove a defined set of semiautomatic firearms and magazines from lawful commerce and possession in Minnesota, forcing retailers and manufacturers to stop offering affected models in-state and to alter inventory and sales practices. Businesses that hold stock or manufacturing lines for the specified items would face lost revenue, potential write-downs, and compliance costs to identify and segregate banned inventory. Secondary-market sellers and transfer processes would also be affected; the bill’s actual operational impact will depend on the statute’s specific definitions, any grandfathering or exemptions (e.g., law enforcement, collectors), and transition timelines provided in the final text.
