“As long as I’m attorney general, we will never willingly cede Hoosiers’ cherished liberties to the whims of federal bureaucrats,” Attorney General Rokita said in a news release.
WASHINGTON — Attorneys general in multiple states, including Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, have filed a federal lawsuit against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
"The ATF repeatedly issued letter rulings assuring manufacturers and the public that attaching a stabilizing brace would not alter the statutory or regulatory classification of a pistol or other firearm," the lawsuit reads. Rokita says the new regulations require anyone using pistols with stabilizing braces to provide their fingerprints to the ATF, be registered in a federal database and pay applicable taxes, among other things.
“This is a clear case of overreach by the executive branch, and we fully expect to prevail in this lawsuit.”
