Justice Dept Sues Over Gun Restrictions | Washington DC News

The Justice Department is suing Montgomery County over sweeping new gun laws that ban firearm carry in thousands of public places and enforce buffer zones — even for licensed permit holders — arguing these rules violate a recent Supreme Court ruling that protects everyday gun-carrying rights. While the county defends its law as compliant with state rulings and aimed at preserving public safety, federal officials claim it’s overly restrictive and impractical, making it nearly impossible for permit holders to move freely without accidentally entering restricted zones. The case now heads to federal court, where the Civil Rights Division seeks a ruling that these restrictions infringe on Second Amendment freedoms.
