Attorney General Henry Joins Multistate Coalition to Protect Regulations on Gun Sales
HARRISBURG – Attorney General Michelle Henry joined a coalition of 21 attorneys general led by New York in support of common sense state and federal laws that regulate the sale of guns. The coalition filed an amicus brief in U.S. v. Steven Perez, arguing that federal laws preventing individuals from transporting or receiving firearms from outside the state in which they reside are essential to protecting public safety. The amicus brief, filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, explains that state and federal regulations of firearms dealers help reduce violent crime and support law enforcement investigations.
