It was a unanimous vote that passed this really important legislation that is among the nation leading pieces of legislation in the entire country. I specifically want to thank council member Oren Choudhury, who is a leader and the author of it. This is going to set us up so that if preemption is lifted, Minneapolis won't need to act, because we already did. What it does is it bans some forms of semiautomatic weapons. What it does is it bans high capacity magazines. (03:22–03:29)
