The Department of Justice has dropped its appeal of the ATF's pistol brace rule, effectively leaving the rule voided by a district court.

While this provides temporary relief for gun owners, the ATF may attempt to reissue a revised rule, and legal battles for a permanent injunction are ongoing.

The appeal, filed on November 1, 2022, targets the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, aiming to overturn the injunction's scope.
