Pennsylvania judge issues temporary injunction against requiring background checks for firearm parts.
Pennsylvania judge puts hold on state ‘ghost guns’ policy
“The harm of threatened enforcement of an unconstitutionally vague policy, derived from statute, cannot be remedied after the fact,” Brobson wrote. He noted that federal regulators, unlike the Pennsylvania State Police, have a process that allows manufacturers to submit their products for review and classification.
State police announced earlier this month that gun dealers must call the state gun-purchase background check system for sales of the 80% receivers and are not permitted to simply use the online system.
Joshua Prince, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said Friday he was pleased and argued the new policy put people at risk of criminal and civil penalties “in relation to something that not even the Pennsylvania State Police could define.”
This won't last long.
