William Kirk of Washington Gun Law analyzes a Supreme Court ruling on ATF Rule 2021R-05F concerning frames and receivers. While the Supreme Court granted a stay on a Fifth Circuit vacatur, reinstating the rule temporarily, Kirk suggests it's a 'dead rule walking' due to the court's trend against agency overreach. The analysis highlights the 5-4 vote and the surprising alignment of some justices.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has upheld a district court's decision to strike down significant portions of the Biden administration's 'ghost gun' rule. The ruling centers on the ATF's attempt to redefine 'firearm' to include components that can be readily converted into frames or receivers, exceeding its statutory authority under the Gun Control Act of 1968. This decision impacts the enforcement mechanisms for serialization and background checks on firearm parts.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a significant ruling in VanDerStock v. Garland, vacating the ATF's 2021 rule on frames and receivers (including 80% lowers). This decision, stemming from a challenge led by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), temporarily halts the enforcement of the rule's new definitions. The court's denial of a stay means the ATF cannot enforce these provisions while the appeal proceeds, effectively returning the regulatory status quo to pre-2022 definitions for these firearm components. The case is being expedited, with legal experts predicting the ATF may lose on the merits due to attempting to bypass congressional action.

William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, breaks down the legal victory of the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) in VanDerStock v. Garland. The FPC successfully challenged ATF Rule 2021R-05F concerning frames and receivers, resulting in a 'vacatur' that wiped out the rule. The U.S. government is now seeking a stay of this ruling to allow for an appeal, citing potential 'irreparable harm' and public safety concerns, which Kirk critically analyzes.
