BREAKING!!! ATF Pistol Brace Rule Immediately Blocked & Halted By 5th Circuit Order!

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against the ATF's pistol brace rule in the Mock v. Garland case, finding it likely unconstitutional and a violation of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The court rejected the ATF's claim that the rule was interpretive, stating it was legislative in substance and failed the 'logical outgrowth test' due to significant deviations from the proposed rule.
