SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 19 – The cities of Syracuse, San Jose, Chicago and Columbia, South Carolina sued the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for not enforcing the Gun Control Act on so-called "ghost guns." Then the case was closed, but not dismissed.

On November 18, 2022, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Gregory H. Woods held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.

 The plaintiffs wanted to re-open the case and amend their complaint. But DOJ for AFT said there is no discrete governmental action they are suing, and that a new lawsuit would be required. 

 The plaintiffs asked for Judge Woods to rule they could amend their complain. He declined, directing them instead to make a motion for it.

They asked for more time; he denied it, saying the case is not mean to be leverage over the AFT. So the motion is due December 9.

 The case is City of Syracuse, NY et al v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives et al., 20-cv-6885 (Woods)
