On the KMOJ Morning Show, Freddie Bell speaks with Rep. Esther Agbaje about ongoing efforts at the State Capitol to pass meaningful gun violence prevention legislation. She outlines key proposals, including restrictions on assault weapons, bans on high-capacity magazines, and measures addressing emerging threats like untraceable “ghost guns.” While many Minnesotans support these policies, she explains that political divisions and a closely split legislature have made progress difficult. Rep. Agbaje also highlights solutions that are already working, such as red flag laws, and emphasizes the need for greater investment in community violence intervention and victim services to create safer communities.
