​AG Jennings intervened in a federal lawsuit to defend a critical federal firearms law after the Trump Administration declined to do so, seeking to prevent a flood of prohibited weapons flooding state borders by mail. Following the federal government’s refusal to defend the century-old statue, the States are filing an intervention motion asking the court to allow them to step in, and a summary judgment motion explaining why this statute is constitutional.

“If you needed any more confirmation that this Administration is bought and paid for by the gun lobby, look no further. There is no good reason – none – to do away with a nearly century-old common-sense gun safety measure like this one. If the White House isn’t going to step up to keep this law in place, then we will.” – AG Jennings
