The U.S. government sued the U.S. Virgin Islands, its police department and Police Commissioner Mario Brooks, alleging the territory’s gun‑permit rules unlawfully block Americans from exercising their Second Amendment rights following reports that the system requires applicants to show a "good reason" and submit to home inspections.The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in the U.S. Virgin Islands, says applicants must provide two credible vouching witnesses, prove "good moral character," face intrusive warrantless inspections that can take months to schedule, and may be denied for owning "too many" guns or for refusing to bolt a safe to the floor; it asks a judge to declare the rules unconstitutional and block enforcement, and the territory’s administration said it is reviewing the suit and will address the claims in court.
