This week, Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin made headlines by announcing his participation in a lawsuit alongside 20 other states. Their legal challenge aims to contest recently introduced federal regulations concerning firearm sales.
Griffin emphasized the collaborative aspect of the lawsuit, describing it as a multi-state effort. Together, these states seek to overturn a specific federal rule that addresses the so-called “gun show loophole,” which has long been a contentious issue in discussions surrounding gun control.
The decision to join forces with other states signals a significant pushback against perceived federal overreach in regulating firearms. Griffin’s involvement underscores the shared concerns among multiple states regarding the impact of these new regulations on gun ownership and sales practices.
