J&G NEWS: LAWSUIT FILED TODAY AGAINST THE BATFE

As many of you may have heard, the BATFE has sent an unprecedented “demand letter” to all the licensed firearms dealers in the four border states of Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Texas. This will require dealers to report to the BATFE the names and addresses and serial numbers of all purchases of more than one semi-automatic rifle, with a detachable magazine, over 22 caliber, within a 5 business day period. This new and extreme regulation goes into effect for all purchases that occur on or after August 14th, 2011. The BATFE has issued a new form 3310.12 that FFL dealers have to complete and return to the BATFE starting on this date and going forward.

The BATFE and Department of Justice has made this demand on us and on you, with no Congressional authorization. Therefore today J&G Sales has filed suit in the Washington DC federal court challenging this illegitimate regulation. We are being assisted in this law suit by the NRA as well. We hope the outcome of our challenge will be a reversal of this unconstitutional regulation.

Thank you all for your support of the 2nd amendment and will keep you all updated as this case progresses.

I read that also and good for J&G, thanks Al for posting this.

I think I need to send some more business their way!

I recently made a trip out to Prescott to see them, that's where I picked up my P64. I am really happy to see them doing this. Being from CA we deal with a lot of crazy laws, this is just getting way to be too much.

While J&G was involved in the Gunwalking scandal, I can say they are serious about being honest and upright. They used to have a store in Tempe and I went there quite often (I really miss their presence in the valley). They asked people to present ID for the purchase of ammo at the time (mid 90's) even though it resulted in lost sales. So if they are in on the lawsuit it is because they truly believe the ATF is overstepping it's authority.
I've had nothing but good dealings with them and WISH they would come back down to my side of the state. I would be a regular again in a heartbeat.

Takes guts on J&G's part but I hope it pays off for them/us.

@ Foo Bird J&G's shipping charges are not all that bad (get deliveries from them regularly), but I still prefer to make a trip up to pick up a firearm.
