Minnesota gun bills stall, other lawmakers hear bill aimed at preventing grooming

The House Committee on Public Safety voted 10-10 on the bills that would ban assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. That means the proposals are at a standstill. Gun rights organizations say the measures are likely unconstitutional.

Flags are at half-staff across Minnesota Wednesday until sunset Thursday to honor and remember civil rights icon the Reverend Jesse Jackson. Jackson died last week at the age of 84.

Well-known Twin Cities writers will take the stage tomorrow night to raise money for immigrants facing the recent surge in federal enforcement across Minnesota.
