Florida AG fights back against Biden's latest attempt at disarming Americans
Take action to protect the 2nd Amendment today!
TODAY: Florida Attorney General filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration’s new ATF rule that burdens law-abiding American citizens with bureaucratic red tape and additional costs.
“This is Biden’s latest step in trying to take guns away from law-abiding Americans. We are fighting back against this federal overreach that would force thousands of law-abiding gun owners to register as federal firearms dealers and navigate a federal bureaucracy. It’s unlawful and reflects a lack of respect for our second amendment rights. We won’t stand for it.” Attorney General Ashley Moody
The new rule provides a 30 day comment period which ends on May 20, 2024. In the absence of “significant adverse comment,” the rule will take effect on July 18, 2024. Send your comment to the ATF by clicking HERE
The press alert from AG Moody states: “The Biden administration frames these actions as merely clarifying the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act; however, Attorney General Moody’s suit argues that any regulation that seeks to shift the U.S. in a particular policy direction is, “by definition, not merely ‘clarifying’ a statute.”
The lawsuit states, “The challenged rule, in fact, goes far beyond the plain text of the BSCA. It purports to force thousands of law-abiding gun owners to register as federal firearms dealers and navigate a federal bureaucracy as a precondition to engaging in constitutionally protected activity. The challenged rule is unlawful…ATF does not have authority to promulgate it because ATF’s rulemaking authority is carefully circumscribed. But even if it did, the challenged rule unlawfully attempts to depart from the plain meaning of the BSCA to achieve President Biden’s policy goals.”
