I want a lawyer to explain to me how environmental groups get to sue immediately any government action they don't like. Why can't a citizen automatically sue about gun laws and get injunctions within a few months and get their case heard. Why do these groups have standing. I read an article in the past and if I remember right it said that when environmental laws are passed the congress agress that governmental bodies can be sued. Can someone explain this to me?

I think I also read somewhere that the government will also pick of the tab for the lawsuits. A lawyer employment act.
