This video details a dispute between the FBI and the ATF regarding the processing of National Firearms Act (NFA) appeals. The FBI asserts that the ATF is overstepping its bounds by attempting to process NFA appeals, which the FBI claims falls outside the ATF's legal and regulatory authority. Documents released via a lawsuit highlight the FBI's position that NFA appeals are not NICS appeals as defined by the Brady Act and that ATF processing could violate regulations.
This video discusses the ATF's admission in a court filing that it lacked legal authority to ban bump stocks. The ATF acknowledged that the statutory scheme does not provide the Attorney General authority for 'gap-filling' interpretations of machine guns, as Congress has provided a detailed definition. This admission stems from lawsuits challenging the ATF's 2018 rule, arguing that the executive branch cannot re-interpret statutes passed by Congress. The content highlights the legal arguments against the ban, emphasizing that agency regulations should not contradict congressional statutes and that interpretive rules cannot bind third parties.
