This video from Washington Gun Law TV, hosted by William Kirk, clarifies the current status of the ATF's pistol brace rule. Kirk emphasizes that the rule has been vacated by federal courts, rendering it effectively dead. He explains that the ATF's continued enforcement actions are based on pre-existing federal firearms laws, specifically the definitions of rifles and short-barreled rifles under the National Firearms Act and Gun Control Act, rather than the vacated rule itself. The core issue revolves around whether a pistol equipped with a brace is 'designed or redesigned' and 'intended to be fired from the shoulder,' which would classify it as an NFA item.

The DOJ's stance is that courts can only enjoin final agency rules, not legal theories, leaving a potential avenue for future enforcement.
