The National Rifle Association (NRA) has filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of a voter-approved initiative in Washington that would severely limit gun rights if enacted.

The lawsuit was filed in a U.S. District Court in the western district in Washington State and says the measure violates the commerce clause by banning sales of rifles to non-residents.
