"States and the federal government should be allowed to enforce basic regulations about who can buy and sell guns to ensure they don't end up in the wrong hands and to protect our communities," said James. "We know that these commonsense laws work and have prevented people from illegally obtaining firearms that could pose a significant threat to others. My office will continue to do everything in our power to stop senseless gun violence, and that includes supporting commonsense regulations on the sale of guns, because these laws save lives."
James and the coalition filed an amicus brief in U.S. v. Steven Perez on Tuesday that argues the current federal regulations on the transport of guns across state lines protect public safety, fortify state gun laws and do not infringe on second amendment rights.
The amicus brief, filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, explains that state and federal regulations of firearms dealers help reduce violent crime and support law enforcement investigations, according to a press release.
