Liberty champion Rep Erik Mortensen introduced a bill called the "Second Amendment Preservation Act" in February that's gaining some recent traction as the threat of federal gun control laws grows. His bill nullifies federal legislation or executive orders issued by President Biden that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms. Mort's bill has picked up 6 co-authors in the House, including Rep Shane Mekeland last week.

HF 1265 defines infringements of the 2nd Amendment as:

(1) any tax, levy, fee, or stamp imposed on firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition not common to all other goods and services and that might reasonably be expected to create a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens;

(2) any registering or tracking of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition that might reasonably be expected to create a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens;

(3) any registering or tracking of the owners of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition that might reasonably be expected to create a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens;

(4) any act forbidding the possession, ownership, or use or transfer of a firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition by law-abiding citizens; and

(5) any act ordering the confiscation of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition from law-abiding citizens.

Mort's bill also clearly states that federal bills that meet the above criteria "shall be invalid in this state, shall not be recognized by this state, shall be specifically rejected by this state, and shall be considered null, void, and of no effect in this state." It further specifies that state and local law enforcement cannot be used to enforce the unconstitutional federal laws or orders.
