Fifth Circuit Deals Devastating Blow to ATF’s Pistol Brace Rule

The SCOTUS decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen has spawned numerous 2A cases. This justifies the creation of this new forum.

Fifth Circuit Deals Devastating Blow to ATF’s Pistol Brace Rule

Fifth Circuit Deals Devastating Blow to ATF’s Pistol Brace Rule
“The ATF incorrectly maintains that the Final Rule is merely interpretive, not legislative, and thus not subject to the logical-outgrowth test,” writes Judge Jerry E. Smith. “The Final Rule affects individual rights, speaks with the force of law, and significantly implicates private interests. Thus, it is legislative in character. Then, because the Final Rule bears almost no resemblance in manner or kind to the Proposed Rule, the Final Rule fails the logical-outgrowth test and violates the APA.”
The U.S Government is not likely to win in the Fifth Circuit if prior cases, such as the bump stock case (Cargill v. Garland), are any indication. The ATF’s only chance of victory is through the United States Supreme Court, but even that is looking less likely.

Some good information from Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, posted just a couple of hours ago:

Think about this: SheJack is smarter than those that elected her to office.

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses the recent ruling in Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition v. Garland where the U.S. District Court in North Dakota has denied the motion for a temporary injunction against ATF's pistol brace rule finding literally exactly the opposite as the 5th Circuit in Mock v. Garland. This is a big setback as half the Attorneys General had filed as plaintiffs on this matter. While this does not spell the end of this case, it is not a promising sign.
