Brown Wants Gun Sale Regulations

August 16th, 2024 by WCBC Radio

Attorney General Anthony G. Brown joined a coalition of 22 attorneys general in support of state and federal laws regulating the sale of guns to keep communities safe. The coalition filed an amicus brief arguing that federal laws preventing individuals from transporting or receiving firearms from outside the state in which they reside, except through a federally licensed firearms dealer, are essential to protecting public safety. The coalition argues that federal regulations on the transport of guns across state lines do not infringe on second amendment rights, but they do protect public safety and fortify state gun laws.
