This is pretty risky behaviour for (Atlas) blue states to indulge in, unless they want to be counter-inundated by laws over their gun laws from red states.

Ernest is correct that they have no standing. Hopefully the voters kick these awful AGs out next election for wasting state money.

Also hilarious that Republicans are suing other states under the idea that federalism is unconstitutional.

Unfortunately, the next election for Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt is in 2018...  Perfect timing for this lawsuit...

Not really, this sounds like the sort of stunt an AG does when he plans on running soon for Governor or Senator and Pruitt won't have a chance on either until 2018 at the earliest. (I doubt he'd do a primary challenge of Lankford in 2016.)
