The ATF's new rule treats 80% lower receivers as firearms, requiring them to be serialized and purchasers to undergo background checks, similar to fully manufactured firearms.

GOA filed a lawsuit because the ATF made last-minute changes to the frames and receivers rule just days before its effective date, arguing these changes required a halt to enforcement until they were properly addressed.

The court denied the preliminary injunction requested by GOA, meaning the ATF's new rule on frames and receivers will go into effect as scheduled.
