A ban on binary triggers went to lawmakers in the aftermath of the killing of three Burnsville first responders in February 2024. The gunman who fired on first responders used several guns, including one that had a binary trigger. Binary triggers are devices that can be attached to guns to increase the firing rate.

The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus brought the lawsuit earlier this year, arguing the ban, which was included in a tax omnibus bill, broke the state's single subject rule and title clause.
