Gov. Tim Walz confronted a stark political reality when he recently signed two executive orders dealing with gun control, a move that exposed his inability to advance his gun control agenda through the Minnesota State Legislature. The executive actions represent an acknowledgment that Walz lacks the votes necessary to pass his proposed restrictions on firearms and ammunition through normal legislative channels, thereby forcing him to pursue unconstitutional executive power grabs.
The governor took action on December 16, 2025, after months of failed attempts to build legislative support for restrictions on so-called “assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines. His orders create a statewide safety council to examine gun violence and call for tracking the costs of firearm-related incidents while funding gun storage education programs. One measure promotes red flag laws, court directives that temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed dangerous.
