GOA argues this process bypasses legal adjudication and due process, potentially intimidating individuals into waiving rights without proper legal counsel or understanding.

A recent court ruling has invalidated an ATF cease-and-desist letter targeting JSD Supply's sales of 80% lower receivers and firearm parts.

The ruling also touches on the ATF's new regulations regarding frames and receivers, requiring serialization and background checks for 80% kits.

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.
