The primary challenge comes from the Gun Owners of America (GOA) and 17 states, who argue the ATF's new rule classifying 80% receiver kits as firearms infringes upon Second Amendment rights and violates the precedent set by the Supreme Court's Bruen decision.

Which court is reviewing the ATF rule lawsuit after the district court denied an injunction?

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals is now reviewing the lawsuit filed by GOA and 17 states against the ATF's new rule on frames and receivers, after a federal district judge denied their motion for a preliminary injunction.

What are the key impacts of the ATF's new rule on 80% kits?

The ATF's new rule treats 80% receiver kits as actual firearms, requiring FFL holders and manufacturers to serialize them and conduct background checks on sales, significantly altering the process for acquiring and selling these components.

How does the Supreme Court's Bruen decision relate to the ATF rule challenge?

Plaintiffs argue that the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, which affirmed Second Amendment rights for self-defense, indicates that the district court should have enjoined the ATF's new rule pending a full trial, as the rule allegedly infringes upon these rights.
