Holtzman Vogel

That is full repeal of their state's laws, not the NFA.

The outreach is led by Holtzman Vogel, partner David Johnson, who previously served as policy director and general counsel of the Republican Attorneys General Association.

That's a deliberate choice of messenger for a list that includes Georgia, Mississippi, Montana, and the Dakotas.

The letters follow the August 5th ruling by U.S. District Court James Wesley Hendrix of the Northern District of Texas in Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF consolidated with FPC-backed Jensen v. ATF.

I spoke with my guest, Saritha Komatireddy, on Tuesday, October 13th, 2026.

She is a partner at the law firm Holtzman Vogel, a position she took in late 2025, just before her run for state attorney general this year.

Previously, she spent the bulk of her career thus far as an assistant U.S. attorney and supervisor in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, which encompasses Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Long Island.

She's also been chief of staff at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, among other roles.

So I thought to myself, I have the experience to actually help and make a change and fix these problems.

But in New York, you've got to do that through the political process.

So I left federal service So that I could become more politically involved, I chose my law firm, Holtzman Vogel, because it is at the forefront of a number of the kinds of issues that affect everyday New Yorkers, consumer protection, data privacy, free speech, anti-Semitism.

It's leading the way on anti-Semitism cases, combating anti-Semitism.
