The Attorney General of West Virginia is now threatening to sue the Biden Administration over a series of newly announced gun restrictions.
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey (R) claimed that Biden would find himself in court ‘very quickly’ if he dared to follow through on his proposals, which he unveiled on Thursday.
As The Hill reports:
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey (R) on Thursday threatened to sue the Biden administration over President Biden’s proposed gun safety measures…
“Defending the Second Amendment remains one of the most important priorities for the West Virginia Attorney General’s Office,” Morrisey said. “I will not allow the far left to run roughshod over our citizens’ gun rights. If President Biden follows through on his proposals, we will be in court very quickly.”
“Gun violence and the senseless death attributed to it should pain all Americans, however, the evil acts of a select few should never be a catalyst for stripping the lawful masses of their constitutional rights, especially their right to self-defense and to bear arms,” he continued.
Biden has directed the Justice Department to propose rules making homemade “ghost guns” subject to background checks. He is also proposing “red flag” legislation for states that could help keep firearms away from potentially dangerous people, and is asking Justice to reclassify pistols modified with stabilizer braces to be subject to the National Firearms Act.
