The ATF is reportedly planning agency action to amend its rule on unfinished frames and receivers (2021R-05F). This development stems from the ongoing legal challenge in Vandertock v. Bondi, where the Supreme Court previously ruled the ATF had not exceeded statutory authority, remanding the case. The DOJ indicated the ATF's intent to revise the rule, potentially impacting the claims in the litigation.

This video analyzes the 'State of California v. ATF' lawsuit concerning ATF's rule on unfinished frames and receivers (2021R-05F). The lawsuit, brought by California and Gord's Law Center, argued that the ATF was not regulating 'ghost guns' stringently enough. The court found that the ATF's determination regarding partially complete receivers, specifically example number four, was arbitrary and capricious for failing to consider all relevant data, including the easy availability of jigs and tools from third-party sources. Consequently, a subsection of the rule and related agency actions were declared unlawful and enjoined.

This video provides a detailed legal analysis from William Kirk, President of a gun law firm, regarding the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision to vacate the ATF's Rule 2021R-05F concerning frames and receivers. The ruling, driven by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), effectively halts the enforcement of new definitions for these firearm components, returning the regulatory status quo to pre-2022 conditions. Kirk emphasizes that such significant regulatory changes should originate from Congress, not executive agencies, predicting the ATF will ultimately lose on the merits due to this procedural overreach.
