Mayor Melvin Carter on St. Paul’s assault weapon ordinance

St. Paul City Council approved a new firearms ordinance aimed at restricting assault-style weapons and large-capacity magazines. While supporters say the measure is a step toward reducing gun violence, critics argue it’s unenforceable under Minnesota’s state preemption law, which limits local control over gun regulations. St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter tells us what’s behind the ordinance and what it means for the city of St. Paul. He also tells us about his experience as the mayor of St. Paul.
