BELLEVUE, Wash. – Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson was on the losing side in a significant Second Amendment case in Minnesota when a three-judge panel ruled unanimously in favor of the plaintiffs, including the Second Amendment Foundation, in a case affirming that Minnesota’s ban on concealed carry by young adults is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment.
Ferguson has boasted he has never lost a Second Amendment case, but he was among 20 attorneys general submitting an amicus brief supporting the state prohibition, which the appeals court panel unanimously ruled was unconstitutional.
The case is known as Worth v. Jacobson. SAF is joined by the Firearms Policy Coalition, Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus and four citizens, Austin Dye, Alex Anderson, Joe Knudsen and Kristin Worth, for whom the case is known.
“This isn’t the first time Ferguson has been on the losing side in a SAF case challenging a gun prohibition for young adults,” SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb recalled. “His team also lost back in March in the case of Lara v. Evanchick, which challenges Pennsylvania’s prohibition against young adults in the 18- to 20-year-old category from carrying firearms for personal protection.
“Indeed,” Gottlieb continued, “Ferguson seems to be on the wrong side consistently when it comes to gun control, and specifically when it involves the rights of young adults. When he could be on the right side, as in our lawsuit challenging outright violations of Washington State’s firearms preemption statute by the City of Edmonds, he didn’t even take action to defend the 40-year-old law. Instead, we had to do his job and we won a unanimous ruling from the State Supreme Court in April 2022 while Ferguson and the Attorney General’s office were AWOL.”
SAF is presently challenging two gun control laws Ferguson supported in Washington, a ban on so-called “assault weapons” in a case known as Hartford v. Ferguson, and a second case challenging the ban on “large capacity magazines” known asSullivan v. Ferguson.
“Ferguson, while running for governor, has falsely claimed that his office has never lost a case to the Second Amendment Foundation,” Gottlieb concluded.

Deniers and Liars will undoubtedly continue their DECEITIST actions till their dying breath.
As long as those who worship in the ideology of Anti 2A legislation are allowed to hold sway over any government position. The war on the Freedoms and Liberties enumerated in the Bill of Rights will continue to be a threat. Something the Founding Patriots understood and resolved by eliminating the threat.
Fergie has made career of lying. Amyone else rememer the case out in Tri Cities where he made up the case, then destroyed his victim, because she optd to not make a special cake for two males who were persuiing the fantasy of being “married”. She found someone else to tak care of their wish, the two were fine with all that and continued to use HER bueiness. but onece Fergie took office he took it uin his own sorry self to prosecute her under some made up nonsense. Cost her home and business. THIS is the true character of… Read more »
Csmpaign Slogan: ANYBODY but Fergy!
You have several facts missing from your line of thinking, but besides that, she should have made a demand to see her hand written and signed guarantee of actually getting a fair trial, and she wouldn’t have lost anything but the time it would have taken to submit her demand! She would still be in business, happy in her home, and the gay freaks wouldn’t have “won” in the lopsided legal system!
Truth is a stranger to the Progressive New Left. This is one such example. Get ready to lose your precious ‘Assault Weapons’ fraud. Even New Jersey judges can see through that fraud on American liberty.
Yes, but how many are able to see through the frauds and other crimes of the legal system? Are your glasses too dark to look through?

democrats… dispensing of unnecessary constitution rights.. in their mind… if they have one that functions. the rest of us want all our rights.
Nice pic of a real lawyer type dweeb!
Some people will lie even if the truth sounds better, and is to their advantage. They just can’t help them-selves!
Just what does it take, what needs to be done or said, to awaken the masses from their stupor of believing in the false validity of the 100% corrupted legal system? Time after time, I show with concrete solid FACTS that the legal system cannot be counted upon to do anything other than protecting itself and harming men and women in the process, and virtually no one can keep it in their mind for more than five seconds! Is everybody but me a goldfish?? Why is it, that no one can show me even just one reason for us to… Read more »
