Rep. Pam Altendorf (R-Red Wing) takes the House floor on May 14th, 2026 with one of the most pointed and emotionally clear-eyed moments of the entire HF 5140 debate. Rep. Altendorf opens with something rare in this debate: real, direct compassion for the families who have endured unimaginable tragedy — the families of the Annunciation Catholic Church and School shooting, and every other family in Minnesota whose loved ones have been touched by gun violence. But she does not stop there. Because the families deserve better than what the DFL is doing in their name. "The veil has been lifted on this gun bill." In a few short, devastating lines, Rep. Altendorf names exactly what HF 5140 actually is — and what it is not: It is not a serious bipartisan effort to address public safety. It is not a careful piece of policy crafted with the affected communities. It is opportunist political theater. It is about the 2026 election. It is about a single floor vote that can be turned into campaign mailers, social media clips, and fundraising appeals. "This is about a vote. This is about campaign literature." The families of Annunciation deserve respect. They deserve serious policy. They deserve representatives who care about the cause more than the campaign. And on May 14th, 2026, they did not get that from the DFL — they got political theater dressed up in their loved ones' memories. HF 5140 is the House clone of SF 4067 — the DFL's omnibus gun ban package that would criminalize commonly-owned semi-automatic rifles, certain shotguns and pistols, home-built firearms, and turn hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Minnesotans into felons overnight. The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus is leading the fight against this bill. The 2026 session is in its final hours. 📞 Contact your legislator NOW: gunowners.mn/take-action/act… 💪 Become a 2A Defender: gunowners.mn/monthly 🎯 Join MNGOC: gunowners.mn #mnleg #2A #HF5140 #SecondAmendment #Minnesota

🚨 Democrats in the Minnesota House have gone completely UNHINGED 🚨 When house dems didnt get the vote they wanted on the most extreme gun-grabbing bill in the country HF5140 one of their own, Rep. Gomez, actually told Republican @elliottengenMN to “go fucking kill himself.” This isn’t debate. This isn’t passion. This is deranged, toxic, and downright dangerous behavior from the same people who want to strip law-abiding Minnesotans of their constitutional rights. No class. No decency. Just pure meltdown when they’re challenged on disarming citizens while criminals roam free. @JesseBWatters @AlphaNews @EricLDaugh @elonmusk

Democrats in Minnesota just voted against requiring the Secretary of State to verify citizenship and legal eligibility of voters.
