Keith Ellison Wins Court Case to Infringe on 2nd Amendment Rights
The Minnesota Court of Appeals just ruled in favor of Attorney General Keith Ellison that the government has the ability to infringe on the rights of individuals who keep and bear arms they made themselves. This case stems from a gun made by an individual that allegedly lacked an arbitrary serial number on it.
In February of 2022, state troopers responded to a vehicle rollover. The driver, a young man named Logan Hunter Vagel, was transporting a pistol and informed the trooper he did not have a permit to carry it. The trooper located the firearm and concluded that it was not marked with a serial number. Vagel was charged by Anoka County attorneys with "possession of a firearm that is not identified by a serial number, in violation of Minnesota Statutes section 609.667(3)."
Since federal laws do not require a serial number on self-made firearms, Vagel moved to dismiss the charge for lack of probable cause. The court agreed with him and dismissed the charge.
But that wasn't good enough for gun-grabbing Keith Ellison and Anoka County attorneys. Despite taking an oath to support and defend the Constitution, which clearly says the right to keep and bears SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED, they appealed the district court's ruling to the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
