Arizona leads lawsuit to halt Biden administration gun rules: 'unconstitutional'
Fox News
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over the ATF's latest "unconstitutional rulemakings."

"The ATF is attempting to overshoot the authority granted to it by Congress," Brnovich said in a statement. "The rulemakings are unconstitutional, impractical, and would likely put a large number of parts manufacturers out of business."
Brnovich’s complaint further alleges that the ATF’s rulemaking takes steps toward the "illegal creation" of a national firearms registry that would require firearms retailers to keep all sales records beyond their current 20-year retention requirement and eventually turn them over to the ATF instead of responsibly destroying them.
