TL;DR Summary

Democratic Minnesota senators are set to pass gun control legislation that includes a "red flag law" allowing authorities to temporarily take guns away from people deemed to be an imminent threat to others or themselves. The legislation also contains expanded background checks for gun transfers and tougher restrictions on the use of no-knock warrants by police. The overall package survived an initial test vote, and Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has repeatedly said he will sign the legislation. Republicans have opposed the bill on Second Amendment and other grounds, but it is expected to pass with the Democrats' one-vote majority.
