Twenty-six states sued the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on Wednesday arguing a new federal rule it’s implementing targets lawful gun owners and is unconstitutional and illegal.
Texas and Kansas led two multi-state coalitions; Florida filed its own lawsuit.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced their multi-state coalitions at a joint press conference in Frisco, Texas, on Wednesday.
The announcement was the first time Paxton has held a press conference about official state business since he was impeached last year.
