BREAKING!!! ATF Pistol Brace & Short Barreled Rifle Rule Completely Dismantled!

The ATF's nationwide pistol brace rule has been struck down and vacated in its entirety by a federal court in the 'Mock v. Garland' case.

This decision impacts millions of pistol brace owners and represents a significant legal victory for firearms rights.

The DOJ is arguing that the NFA can still be enforced against pistol-braced firearms even after the ATF's pistol brace rule was struck down.

This shifts the legal battleground from specific rules to the broader interpretation of law by unelected officials, raising concerns for gun owners.
