It is clearly arbitrary and capricious for the defendants, each and every one of them, to now suddenly adopt and implement a new and different interpretation for no other reason than the political preferences of temporary occupants of elected office, attorney Larry Klayman said in a complaint filed at the U.S. court in West Palm Beach, Florida. Klayman, the founder of the political watchdog group Freedom Watch, claims the background-check initiative violates the constitutions Second Amendment, which the U.S. Supreme Court has said guarantees an individuals right to bear arms for self-defense. Rule Making Even if constitutional, the redefinition circumvented the federal rule-making process, he said. Klayman ... is seeking a court order blocking the executive action and declaring the measures unlawful. Named as defendants are the president, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Thomas Brandon, who heads the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Patrick Rodenbush, a spokesman for the U.S. Justice Department, didnt immediately reply to a telephone message seeking comment. The case is Klayman v. Obama, 16-cv-80087, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida (West Palm Beach). 160119-ComplaintasFiledExecutiveActionGunControl.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonap Posted January 19, 2016 at 08:14 PM Share Posted January 19, 2016 at 08:14 PM Shouldn't the lawsuit be against the fact that POTUS cannot make laws - that laws are up to congress? Might be easier to prove than having it be a 2nd Amendment issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defaultdotxbe Posted January 19, 2016 at 08:19 PM Share Posted January 19, 2016 at 08:19 PM I wonder if they will defend the actions by pointing out that they didn't actually change anything lol Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplant Posted January 19, 2016 at 08:33 PM Share Posted January 19, 2016 at 08:33 PM I'm taking the other side of this. I think this suit is a high risk low reward. Obama and his minions and handlers wee careful to stay within the bounds of his auhority. If they overstepped it, it wasn't agregiously. I predict this lawsuit loses and makes us look bad, and reinforces anti talking points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mic6010 Posted January 20, 2016 at 03:28 AM Share Posted January 20, 2016 at 03:28 AM Wait so does this halt that 41P law then while this case goes on ? Because that would really suck. I was 3 months away from finally getting to own an SBR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 3 months away from finally getting to own an SBR. I doubt it, that's a completely separate issue from the executive actions the lawsuit is about, it just happened to be signed on the same day Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
