Minnesota Poll: Background checks draw strong support
Article By: JIM RAGSDALE ,Star Tribune Publish March 4, 2013 2:00 AM / Update March 4, 2013 6:57 AMBackground checks now are conducted only for sales of handguns and semiautomatics by licensed dealers. Private purchases of such weapons are not covered, whether over the back-yard fence, via the Internet or at gun shows. Rep. Michael Paymar, DFL-St. Paul, is chief sponsor of a bill that would require background checks for handguns and semi-automatic, military-style assault weapons, but would exclude traditional hunting rifles. It also would not apply to gun transfers among relatives.
The National Rifle Association and local gun rights groups vehemently oppose the bill.
