The Fifth Circuit Court has ruled against the ATF's pistol brace rule, stating the lower court was wrong to not grant a preliminary injunction. The ruling emphasizes that the ATF's rule was interpretive, not legislative, and therefore could not be enforced as law with criminal penalties. While this is a significant victory, the case is likely to proceed to the Supreme Court, and individuals outside the Fifth Circuit's jurisdiction should continue to wait for further developments.
