Judge Castro just denied the City of Saint Paul’s motion to dismiss our preemption lawsuit. Caucus v. City of Saint Paul is moving forward in Ramsey County.

The City argued it could pass a gun ordinance as long as it delayed enforcement. The Court wasn’t buying it.

Judge Castro: the Legislature “preempts all authority” of cities “to regulate firearms … to the complete exclusion of any order, ordinance, or regulation.”

And the line that says it all:

“There are no exceptions for contingent ordinances.”

State law preempts local gun control. Period.

Next stop: a Motion for Summary Judgment to strike down and enjoin Saint Paul’s illegal ordinance for good.

We beat tyrants in court because members like you make it possible.
