Frequently Asked Questions

What was the Fifth Circuit's ruling on the ATF's pistol brace rule?

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Mock v. Garland that the ATF's pistol brace rule was likely unconstitutional and violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The court found the rule to be legislative in substance and not a logical outgrowth of the proposed rule.

What is the 'logical outgrowth test' and how did it apply to the ATF's pistol brace rule?

The logical outgrowth test determines if an agency rule is a logical outgrowth of the proposed rule. The Fifth Circuit found the ATF's pistol brace rule failed this test because it significantly deviated from the proposed rule, particularly by removing Worksheet 49.99 and introducing subjective requirements.

What is the current status of the ATF's pistol brace rule following the Fifth Circuit's decision?

A temporary injunction was granted by the Fifth Circuit for members of FPC, GOA, and SAF, preventing the rule's enforcement against them. The case has been remanded to the district court for further review, with an injunction in place for at least 60 days.

Who are the key organizations involved in the legal challenge against the ATF's pistol brace rule?

Key organizations involved include the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Gun Owners of America (GOA), and the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF). These groups, along with their members, have been granted temporary injunctions protecting them from the ATF's rule.
