A federal district court in Texas has granted a preliminary injunction against a new ATF rule that sought to expand restrictions on Second Amendment rights. The rule, based on changes from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, aimed to redefine who is considered 'engaged in the business of dealing firearms,' potentially requiring FFL licenses for casual sellers. Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk found the ATF's interpretation inconsistent with the statute's text, particularly regarding the number of firearms sold, the requirement for profit, and the exclusion of personal collections.

Concerns were raised about potential criminalization of law-abiding citizens and overreach of executive authority.

A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the ATF's new rule defining who must obtain a Federal Firearms License (FFL) to sell firearms. The ruling, stemming from a lawsuit filed by Gun Owners of America and Texas, found the ATF's rule likely violates the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) by exceeding Congressional authority and misinterpreting statutory safe harbors. This temporary win protects members of specific gun rights organizations and residents of Texas until June 2, 2024, while other lawsuits against the rule are pending.

The judge found that the plaintiffs are substantially likely to prevail on the merits, citing conflicts between the ATF's rule and the text of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, particularly regarding the definition of 'engaged in the business' and the safe harbor for personal collection sales.

This video explains ATF Rule 2022 R-7, which redefines what it means to be 'engaged in the business' as a firearms dealer. The rule, stemming from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, shifts the focus from 'livelihood and profit' to 'predominantly earn a profit.' It outlines specific activities that create a rebuttable presumption of being a dealer, impacting individuals who buy and resell firearms, especially online or at gun shows, without an FFL.

The rule, stemming from the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, focuses on a subjective standard of 'predominantly earn a profit' rather than a numerical threshold. This could significantly impact private party firearm sales nationwide, potentially requiring FFL licenses for transactions previously considered personal or casual.
