Bombshell Decision Instantly Blocking ATF's Pistol Brace Rule Nationwide In Motion!!!
The Fifth Circuit heard oral arguments in Mock v. Garland regarding the ATF's pistol brace rule. The court questioned the ATF's authority to issue the rule, its procedural compliance with the APA, and the consistency of its interpretations. Judges pushed back on the ATF's claims that braced pistols are inherently dangerous and have always been SBRs, especially in light of prior ATF letters. The discussion also touched upon the rule of lenity and Second Amendment protections.
