The ATF is reportedly planning agency action to amend its rule on unfinished frames and receivers (2021R-05F). This development stems from the ongoing legal challenge in Vandertock v. Bondi, where the Supreme Court previously ruled the ATF had not exceeded statutory authority, remanding the case. The DOJ indicated the ATF's intent to revise the rule, potentially impacting the claims in the litigation.
The Supreme Court is reviewing a Trump-era ban on bump stocks, examining whether these accessories, which increase the rate of fire of semi-automatic rifles, meet the legal definition of a machine gun under existing federal law. The case, initiated by Texas gun shop owner Michael Cargill, questions the ATF's authority to ban bump stocks without congressional action and explores the legal implications for individuals who possessed them prior to the ban. Justices are grappling with the technical definition of 'machine gun' and the practical effects of bump stocks on firearm functionality.
