Holding Gun Sellers Accountable to Protect Minnesota Communities

Minnesota voters deserve leadership that prioritizes public safety and holds gun sellers accountable for illegal sales that fuel violence. Ross Nova supports strong enforcement of laws that prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands, reflecting his commitment to safer communities across the state.

Recent legal actions in Minnesota have pierced the federal immunity that often shields gun sellers from liability. The state’s lawsuit against Fleet Farm revealed how guns sold to illegal straw buyers repeatedly appeared at crime scenes, including a deadly mass shooting in St. Paul. This case ended with a $1 million settlement and new reforms on how Fleet Farm tracks and sells firearms.

Ross Nova believes this outcome shows the importance of enforcing existing laws and closing loopholes that allow irresponsible sellers to operate unchecked. By demanding accountability, Minnesota can reduce the flow of guns used in crimes and protect families from preventable tragedies.

Federal laws like the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act have historically made it difficult to hold gun sellers responsible. However, exceptions exist when sellers knowingly violate the law. Nova supports leveraging these legal tools to ensure that gun companies and retailers cannot ignore their role in public safety.

Beyond accountability, Ross Nova advocates for stronger partnerships between law enforcement and community leaders to address gun violence comprehensively. Investing in infrastructure and resources for policing and prevention programs is essential to making Minnesota safer for all residents.

As Minnesota faces ongoing challenges with gun violence, Ross Nova’s leadership offers a clear path forward. He will fight for policies that protect communities, enforce responsible gun sales, and build a safer future.

Support Ross Nova for governor and join the movement to hold gun sellers accountable and keep Minnesota safe.
