Federal Judge Blocks Biden's Gun Show Background Check Rule in Four States
The ruling prevents enforcement of the new rule in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Utah, citing constitutional concerns.
- Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk expanded a previous injunction to include three additional states.
- The Biden administration's rule aimed to close the 'gun show loophole' by requiring background checks for most gun sales.
- Twenty-six state attorneys general have filed lawsuits against the rule, arguing it violates the Second Amendment.
- The rule redefines 'engaged in the business' of selling firearms to include those selling guns for profit.
- The injunction will remain in effect pending the resolution of the ongoing lawsuit.
