This video provides an expert-level analysis of two Supreme Court cases, Aparicio v Garland and GOA v Garland, challenging the ATF's authority and the NFA/GCA regulations, particularly concerning the bump stock ban. The discussion delves into the legal arguments, including Chevron deference and the Rule of Lenity, and their potential impact on firearm regulations and Second Amendment rights. The speaker, identified as experienced, breaks down the complex legal landscape surrounding ATF actions and their potential limitations by the Supreme Court.
The Sixth Circuit's en banc decision in GOA v. Garland resulted in an 8-8 deadlock, affirming the ATF's rule classifying bump stocks as machine guns. This deadlock means the lower court's ruling stands, and the case highlights the legal debate surrounding the definition of 'machine gun' under the NFA and GCA, with arguments centering on Chevron deference versus the rule of lenity. Gun Owners of America (GOA) plans to petition the Supreme Court for review, especially given another pending bump stock case, Aposhian.
