Four Republican-led states have filed a motion with a court in Texas seeking to prevent a controversial new rule by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) from going into effect.
The states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Utah filed the motion in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Texas on May 9 calling on the court to block the new rule redefining who is “engaged in the business” of dealing in firearms.
