Twenty-six Republican attorneys general filed lawsuits Wednesday challenging a new Biden administration rule requiring firearms dealers across the United States to run background checks on buyers at gun shows and other places outside brick-and-mortar stores.
The lawsuits filed in federal court in Arkansas, Florida and Texas are seeking to block enforcement of the rule announced last month, which aims to close a loophole that has allowed tens of thousands of guns to be sold every year by unlicensed dealers who do not perform background checks to ensure the potential buyer is not legally prohibited from having a firearm.
The lawsuit argues the new rule violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and that Democratic President Joe Biden doesnt have the authority to implement it.

The founding fathers dreamed of this so much they put it right in the constitution.
How thoughtful of them.
And the GOP loves the idea so much they will make sure it continues forever.

The rwnj want an army they don't pay, don't maintain, don't support, don't acknowledge, and don't train. The individuals who buy their own weapons might not all be crazy, but the ones who will answer the dog whistles certainly are and the ones who just start shooting are batshit. But as long as the rw has its army, they don't care how many people die, what age, what gender, what race, what religion. So long as they have enough armed lunatics ready to defend the rw agenda, they simply don't care about the damage to the population of this country.
