Description:
Bay City, Michigan, civil rights lawyers represented the Plaintiffs seeking a declaratory judgment relating to Michigan firearm law.
onald Roberts and Gun Owners of America sued the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. They aimed to prohibit the Bureau from enforcing a public-safety advisory that instructed gun sellers to reject a Michigan firearms license as a
satisfactory alternative to a federally required background check. But the dispute has become stale. The Bureau has withdrawn the advisory. It thus no longer stands in the way if Roberts wishes to use his Michigan license to purchase a gun.
