In a significant legal battle underscoring the ongoing national debate over gun control and constitutional rights, the U.S. Department of Justice has launched a lawsuit challenging Washington D.C.’s recent ordinance that bans the registration of semi-automatic firearms. Filed in April 2024, this case asserts that the city’s prohibition infringes upon Second Amendment protections and conflicts with federal obligations to uphold constitutional liberties.
