SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 19 –
The cities
of Syracuse,
San Jose,
Chicago and
Columbia,
South Carolina
sued the
Bureau of
Alcohol,
Tobacco,
Firearms and
Explosives for
not enforcing
the Gun
Control Act on
so-called
"ghost guns."
Then the case
was closed,
but not
dismissed.
On
November 18,
2022, U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Gregory H.
Woods held a
proceeding.
Inner City
Press covered
it.
The
plaintiffs
wanted to
re-open the
case and amend
their
complaint. But
DOJ for AFT
said there is
no discrete
governmental
action they
are suing, and
that a new
lawsuit would
be
required.
The
plaintiffs
asked for
Judge Woods to
rule they
could amend
their
complain. He
declined,
directing them
instead to
make a motion
for it.
They
asked for more
time; he
denied it,
saying the
case is not
mean to be
leverage over
the AFT. So
the motion is
due December
9.
The
case is City
of Syracuse,
NY et al v.
Bureau of
Alcohol,
Tobacco,
Firearms and
Explosives et
al.,
20-cv-6885
