Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATF's new rule regarding 80% kits?

The ATF's new rule classifies 80% kits, often referred to as frames and receivers, as actual firearms. This means they are now subject to federal regulations including serialization requirements and background checks for purchasers.

Why are GOA and 17 states suing the ATF?

The Gun Owners of America (GOA) and 17 states are suing the ATF because they believe the new rule on 80% kits infringes upon Second Amendment rights and contradicts the Supreme Court's Bruen decision.

What was the outcome of the initial injunction request against the ATF's rule?

A federal district court judge denied the motion for a preliminary injunction, meaning the ATF's rule on 80% kits was allowed to take effect while the lawsuit proceeds. The judge found an injunction was not warranted at that stage.

Where is the ATF 80% kit lawsuit heading next?

Following the denial of the preliminary injunction, the GOA and the 17 states have appealed the decision to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. This case is significant as a post-Bruen challenge at the appellate level.
