The U.S. Department of Justice is being called upon to investigate New York’s gun laws.
In a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney and Congresswoman Elise Stefanik urge the DOJ to investigate what they claim are “New York State’s infringement of New Yorkers’ Second Amendment rights.” The Republican lawmakers say New York’s restrictions violate Supreme Court precedents, including a categorical ban on commonly owned semi-automatic rifles, licensing and registration of constitutionally protected arms, and an arbitrary cap on magazine capacity.
“The Second Amendment is not a suggestion; it is a Constitutional guarantee. Yet Albany Democrats have orchestrated an all-out assault on our Second Amendment rights by enacting and enforcing a sweeping regime of laws that strip law-abiding citizens of their firearms. Today, I am calling on the Department of Justice to swiftly investigate New York’s unconstitutional gun laws and uphold New Yorkers’ Second Amendment rights. I will continue working with the Trump administration to defend this Constitutional Right for all law-abiding citizens,” said Congresswoman Tenney.
