Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Lawsuit Against Fleet Farm for Violating Gun Control Act in Minnesota
- Minnesota's Attorney General Keith Ellison has updated the lawsuit against Fleet Farm by alleging that the retailer breached the state's gun control law through repeated sales of firearms to individuals acting as "straw purchasers" who then supplied these weapons to prohibited felons.
- Recently, U.S. Magistrate Judge John Docherty permitted the state to amend its initial 2022 lawsuit to include the new accusation following a clarification by Minnesota's Supreme Court regarding Ellison's investigative and enforcement authority.
- Minnesota is currently pursuing civil penalties for each infringement of the gun control act and the state's law against public nuisance.
- Fleet Farm's legal representatives have contested the modifications, contending that Ellison lacks the authority to civilly enforce a criminal penalty that does not pertain to consumer protection.

Wyoming Sen. Barrasso will run for No. 2 spot in GOP leadership, narrowing race to replace McConnell
apnews.com/article/barrasso-mcconnell-senate-republican-leadership-b93718dec1722e2e8fb4bc6aaa56d3a6
Quick Glance: Trump Ally Barrasso Steps Back from McConnell Succession Race
- Republican Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) has opted to run for the position of Assistant Republican Leader this year instead of joining Senators John Cornyn (R-Tex.) and John Thune (R-S.D.) in a bid for leader, as confirmed by Axios.
- Barrasso was favored by the more conservative bloc in the Senate and has the closest relationship with former President Trump among the 'three Johns.' His exit could pave the way for a new conservative contender.
- Barrasso holds the third-highest position among Senate Republicans as conference chair, and neither Thune nor Cornyn can run for GOP whip again due to term limits. This makes Barrasso almost a shoo-in.
- "I have had time to reflect on how I might best serve the Republican Conference and our country," said Barrasso in a statement on Tuesday morning.
