Federal Magistrate Seeks Dismissal Of Gun Lawsuit
WEST VIRGINIA....
A federal magistrate is recommending the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by eight states, including West Virginia, seeking freedom from federal gun laws. The states argue they should decide which rules would control the sale and purchase of guns and paraphernalia made inside their borders. However, the U.S. Department of Justice and gun control advocates say the courts have already decided that Congress can set standards on such items as guns through its power to regulate interstate commerce.
The states in the lawsuit are Montana, Utah, Alabama, Idaho, South Carolina, South Dakota, Wyoming and West Virginia.
