Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings has joined New York and New Jersey officials in a federal court case to defend gun shipping restrictions. The legal action comes after the Trump Administration chose not to defend a 1927 federal law that limits firearms being sent through the mail.
Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings has teamed up with her counterparts from New York and New Jersey in a federal court battle aimed at protecting existing restrictions on mailing firearms across state lines.
The three state attorneys general stepped into the lawsuit today after the Trump Administration decided not to defend the federal regulations, which could potentially open the door for unrestricted gun shipments through the U.S. Postal Service.
At the center of the legal dispute is a federal statute enacted by Congress in 1927 that places limitations on shipping firearms through the mail. The Delaware AG’s office says defending this law is crucial to preventing an influx of prohibited weapons from crossing state boundaries via postal delivery.
The intervention represents a coordinated effort by the tri-state attorneys general to maintain current federal firearms shipping restrictions that they argue protect public safety in their respective states.
