States are rushing to join a class-action lawsuit against the Biden regime over a rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives that bans a popular pistol brace add-on [.]
North Dakota AG Wayne Stenehjem filed the lawsuit after federal agencies canceled oil and gas leasing auctions
It named Interior Secretary Debra Haaland and Bureau of Land Management Director Nada Culver, and their agencies, as defendants
John Melhoff, director of the Montana-Dakotas Bureau of Land Management, was also named as a defendant
The complaint argues that March and June auctions stopped by the federal agencies cost the state $80million in lost revenue
It says the lost revenue could grow to into billions in the coming months unless BLM s illegal cancellations are stopped
It comes after the energy firm that owns the Keystone XL pipeline announced it will seek $15 billion in damages from the Biden administration
