Exposed: Peggy Flanagan Wants to Ban “Assault Weapons” and High-Capacity Magazines

From the riots of 2020 to this past winter’s civil unrest, Minnesotans have seen how quickly order can break down. Instead of working to restore law and order, Flanagan wants to punish the law-abiding.

Peggy Flanagan, the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in Minnesota, wants to leave everyday Minnesotans vulnerable and defenseless.

In an August interview with FOX 9, Flanagan said: “we need to ban ‘assault weapons’ and we need to ban high-capacity magazines.”¹

That should tell Minnesota gun owners everything they need to know.

And it was no slip of the tongue.

Her own campaign website says she wants to ban “assault weapons,” high-capacity magazines, and so-called ghost guns.²

She has also touted Minnesota’s “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation laws and strengthened gun registration, and now she wants to take that agenda to Washington.³

Criminals don’t obey gun bans. Law-abiding Minnesotans do.

A ban on the rifles and magazines that millions of Americans own won’t stop a single criminal. It only disarms the families who follow the law.

And the Gun Control Lobby is cheering her on. GIFFORDS, one of the most extreme gun control groups in America, has endorsed Flanagan for the U.S. Senate.⁴

Minnesota gun owners deserve to know the truth about the woman asking for their vote.

That’s why NAGR and Gun Rights America SuperPAC are exposing Flanagan’s record.

That’s why the National Association for Gun Rights is taking Peggy Flanagan’s record directly to gun owners across Minnesota, by exposing the agenda of Flanagan and every gun grabber like her this election cycle.

Help us keep exposing gun grabbers before November 3rd.
