Too often we see the Judicial system abused by government officials who try to make an honest citizen out to be a criminal who needs jail or prison time. Luckily, a recent Minnesota Supreme Court ruling will protect individuals from certain ridiculous gun charges.

Matthew Walker Anderson was charged at the age of 22 as a felon with an obscure law because he owned two rifles without serial numbers. These firearms never had a serial number and were perfectly legal for him to own in Minnesota yet he has faced years of navigating the obstacle course we call our judicial system.

Anderson was charged under MN Statute 609.667 subd. 3 which reads “(3) receives or possesses a firearm that is not identified by a serial number.”. This Statute then references federal law that does not outlaw and criminalize these guns like prosecutors have been arguing. In short, this was a misapplication of law that leftist prosecutors and judges weaponized against owners of so-called ghost guns.

Since the MN Supreme Court issued their surprise ruling protecting citizens from this law being stretched beyond its written meaning and legislative intent, Anderson’s charges were totally dismissed as a higher court has ruled on the very same subject in another case. See the dismissal below:

As noted in previous A4L reporting, Anderson was charged in Sherburne County, proving that gun rights are not always safe in red counties. Incumbent County Attorney Dawn Nyhus and incumbent Sheriff Joel Brott (who previously spoke out against gun control) supported the charges against Anderson and provided the opportunity and setting for Anderson to have the law weaponized against him. Anderson’s mother has appeared on The Truth Hurts Show to give updates on this case.

Far-left gun grabber politicians like Attorney General ANTIFA Keith Ellison says there is a "gap" in state law (admitting the law was misused) while Sen. Ron Latz (SD46) has told the media that the Supreme Court ruling was a mistake and that he will be fighting to change the law in this regard. State house Republicans, with control of the Speakership, will have to be a blockade against such laws. Patriots will have to remain vigilant since 3 House RINOs voted with Democrats for gun control before and in 2024 every single House and Senate Republican, with exception to Sen. Nathan Wesenberg (SD10), voted for anti-2nd Amendment gun control (House voted on HF548 and Senate voted on SF733).  

Action 4 Liberty will never waiver on the 2nd Amendment and celebrates the total dismissal of Walker Anderson’s bogus charges. Patriots must keep up the momentum we see statewide and nationally to push the right-wing cultural movement as far as it can reach. Big government politicians should look to this case as an example to not just put more laws on the books willy-nilly because those laws can be used to destroy good, honest people’s lives. 

Congratulations once again to Walker Anderson on the big win! He never conceded and came out victorious!
