This entry details the DOJ's amicus brief challenging Massachusetts' handgun ban, arguing it violates the Second Amendment. The brief, filed in the Granata v.

The DOJ emphasizes that constitutional rights must be exercisable within the state, directly addressing the state's argument about purchasing firearms elsewhere.
