MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The United States has sued the State of Minnesota, the City of Minneapolis, and the City of St. Paul in federal court over the state’s 30-day waiting period and permit-to-purchase system for handguns and AR-15 style rifles. The 13-page complaint, captioned United States v. State of Minnesota, City of Minneapolis, and City of St. Paul, Case No. 0:26-cv-04123, was filed September 24 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota and is signed by Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet K. Dhillon.
Last week I covered the notice letter in DOJ Gives Minnesota Until Sept. 23 to Negotiate or Face a Federal Suit Over 30-Day Handgun Purchase Waits That Stretch to Nearly 60, which gave the state until 5:00 p.m. ET on September 23 to say whether it wanted to talk. That deadline came and went. The complaint hit the docket the next day. What was a three-page threat is now a filed case with a case number, three named defendants, and a specific list of what the government wants the court to order.
