President Joe Biden's demands for a ban on assault weapons were called irresponsible and unconstitutional by 16 state attorneys.
The coalition of attorneys general, led by Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, sent a letter to the president saying his reasons for banning assault weapons have many"flaws" and could create a potential danger."The right to keep and bear arms in self-defense guards and protects the right to life, the first and most fundamental God-given right recognized in the Declaration of Independence," the letter stated.
"We stand ready to oppose any attempt by your Administration to trample on this fundamental constitutional right,” the letter said.
