(Photo: NY Daily News)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms announced a lawsuit on Tuesday targeting the federal government&#8217;s ban on interstate handgun purchases.<\/p>\n<p>Defendants in the lawsuit include Attorney General Eric Holder and B. Todd Jones, the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.<\/p>\n<p>The plaintiffs in the lawsuit, a Texan and two Washington, D.C. residents, argue that current law basically criminalizes the cross-state transfer of handguns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is overreaching, if not downright silly, in today\u2019s environment with the federal instant background check system to perpetuate a prohibition on interstate handgun purchases that has outlived its usefulness,&#8221; said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ccrkba.org\/?p=4331\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-rights-group-sues-government-ban-interstate-handgun-purchases\" title=\"Gun-rights group sues government over ban on interstate handgun purchases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a law-abiding citizen can clear a background check and legally purchase a handgun in his own state, he would pass the same background check just across the border in another state,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>The main issue at stake is allowing dealers to sell handguns directly to purchasers from other states, something they&#8217;re allowed to do with rifles and shotguns but not with handguns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFederal law allows for interstate long gun sales,\u201d explained Gottlieb, \u201cas long as the dealer follows the law, so what\u2019s the logic of the federal government banning interstate handgun sales? Some states allow for, or even welcome, interstate handgun sales, so what\u2019s the federal government doing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under current law, one can purchase a handgun from an out-of-state dealer. However, that dealer can&#8217;t give the firearm directly to the buyer nor ship the firearm directly to the buyer&#8217;s address. The dealer must send the gun to another dealer in the buyer&#8217;s home state, who will perform the background check on the prospective purchaser and complete the transfer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms announced a lawsuit on Tuesday targeting the federal government&#8217;s ban on interstate handgun purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":21884,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,216],"tags":[122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-21883","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-s-h-blannelberry","9":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Gun-rights group sues government over ban on interstate handgun purchases<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms announced a lawsuit on Tuesday targeting the federal government&#039;s ban on interstate handgun purchases.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/gun-rights-group-sues-government-ban-interstate-handgun-purchases\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Gun-rights group sues government over ban on interstate handgun purchases\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms announced a lawsuit on Tuesday targeting the federal government&#039;s ban on interstate handgun purchases.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/gun-rights-group-sues-government-ban-interstate-handgun-purchases\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-07-15T21:44:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-17T18:42:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/guns12n-12-web.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
