Elderberry:
Texas, Kansas Lead Lawsuits Against ‘Unconstitutional’ Rule Restricting Private Gun Sales

Texas Scorecard by  Erin Anderson   | May 1, 2024

Attorney General Ken Paxton is leading one of two multi-state coalitions suing Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for Second Amendment violations.

Republican attorneys general in multiple states, including Texas and Kansas, are suing to stop the Biden administration from imposing new restrictions on the rights of gun owners.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced the new lawsuits against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives during a press conference Wednesday at the Frisco Gun Club.

The lawsuits challenge a new ATF rule that redefines “engaged in the business” as a firearms dealer.

The 126-page rule would have the effect of criminalizing law-abiding Americans for private gun purchases and sales.

The attorneys general argue that the rule is unconstitutional because it is vague, violates the Second Amendment, and circumvents Congress.

“The war on Second Amendment rights must be stopped. My message to Biden is ‘Come and Take It,’” Paxton told reporters.

“When the Biden administration can’t get a bill through Congress, it uses administrative rules,” said Kobach.

Biden’s latest attempt to strip away the #2A rights of Americans through ATF regulations will make many law-abiding gun owners felons if they sell a firearm or two to family or friends. This rule is blatantly unconstitutional.
