Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATF's new pistol brace rule?

The ATF's new rule classifies pistols equipped with stabilizing braces as Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs), thereby subjecting them to the regulations and restrictions of the National Firearms Act (NFA). This reclassification has led to significant legal challenges.

What is the Major Questions Doctrine and how does it apply to the pistol brace rule?

The Major Questions Doctrine requires federal agencies to have clear congressional authorization for major policy decisions with significant economic or political impact. In the context of the pistol brace rule, it's argued that the ATF lacks such clear authorization from Congress to redefine what constitutes an SBR.

When was a decision expected for the ATF pistol brace rule challenge?

A federal court granted expedited review for the challenge to the ATF's pistol brace rule, with a decision on a preliminary injunction or other relief expected by March 24th, 2023. This date was critical for the rule's enforcement.
