SAF FILES MOTION IN CASE CHALLENGING ATF’S FRAME AND RECEIVER RULE

Summary

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Defense Distributed filed a motion for summary judgment on April 27, 2026, in the case *Defense Distributed v. Blanche* (formerly *VanDerStok v. Bondi*) in the Northern District of Texas. This motion challenges the ATF's April 2022 'Frame and Receiver Rule,' which redefined 'firearm' to include precursor parts, thus impacting the private manufacture of firearms. SAF seeks vindication on remaining claims after a previous Fifth Circuit victory that vacated portions of the rule, which was then partially appealed to the Supreme Court.
