Montana attorney general to sue Biden administration over gun executive order

Knudson tells Fox Digital that his office is waiting for the Biden Administration to act on its order — which President Biden calls a "whole-of-government approach" to "pursue every legally available and appropriate action" to combat gun violence.

"They don't dare say it out loud, but what they're talking about is going after private firearm transactions and trying to require Americans to do a background check on every private firearms transfer," said Knudson.
