I know there are some gun shops that are suing as well, but I have not heard of any state legal action.

I suspect that is because this stupid law is toothless, since FFL sales are already reported via the NICS check.

Still, I would like to see a legal response from the states to protest border states being singled out for state specific federal restrictions.

I was speaking of the NRA lawsuit on behalf of two gunshops. I know one of the owners.

IMHO, the regulation was primarily to set the precedent for national registration. The BATF is already maintaining a national database of information on the forms that are required when two handguns are sold to an individual within a week. This data base is claimed to be “grandfathered” into current law and not subject to the congressional ban on a national registration database.

Adding a reporting requirement for semiautomatic rifles is a logical step in the process to expand the existing database and erode congressional support for the ban on national registration.
