South Dakota joins Second Amendment battle :: 08/24/2016
PIERRE, SD (KELO-AM) South Dakota has joined a gun control legal battle in Washington D.C.
The District of Columbia banns the carrying of firearms unless a citizen can provide "good reason" for doing so. State Attorney General Marty Jackley says that violates the Second Amendment.
South Dakota is among 16 states that have joined an amicus brief, supporting a district court decision that found the gun restrictions unconstitutional. The case is 'Matthew Grace v. District of Columbia'.
" As Attorney General, I have a strong interest in the protection of our law-abiding citizen’s right to keep and bear arms,” says Jackley. The brief argues that the Amici States have a compelling interest in promoting public safety, preventing crime, and reducing the harmful effects of firearm violence without infringing the constitutional rights of their citizens.
The Attorneys General from the following states are participating: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming
