Arguing that there’s nothing in the U.S. Constitution that allows the president to order changes to the Second Amendment, a terrorist-suing lawyer who depends on his personal firearms for self-defense has filed the first legal challenge to President Obama’s executive orders on guns.
Just two weeks ago, Obama ordered the federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and other agencies to enforce a new interpretation of a law passed by Congress.
Obama, citing his disagreement with Congress, ordered new requirements for anyone wanting to sell even a single gun.
But the lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Palm Beach Division, by civil rights activist attorney Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch explains, “There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution which offers any authority or role of the executive branch with regard to legislating to change the rights under the Second Amendment.”
The lawsuit names as defendants Obama, AFT Deputy Director Thomas Brandon and Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
It alleges damages from “the abridgement of his fundamental rights under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”
