There was a bill to take away the sunset provision (July 2011) that allowed the DNR to possess silencers for wildlife control purposes. It did not make it to the floor for a vote before the regular session ended.

I am trying to get another bill submitted that would bring MN law in line with federal law and allow possession of any silencer that is legally owned and registered in accordance with federal law. The first hurdle is convincing a legislator to actually submit a bill. I have written to the legislators in my old district (8/8A). But I am not expecting them to respond to me as I am currently a WA resident. Anyone here interested in helping out? I can help draft a letter if you are. I will be in MN in August if anyone wants to have a face to face meeting with their legislator to convince them to submit a bill and wants someone to go with.

I plan on retiring to MN in the next ten years, so I am hoping to change some of the more oppressive laws. Thanks.
