BREAKING! Permanent Nationwide Block of Short Barreled Rifle & Pistol Brace Rule Decision Settled!

The Trump DOJ has agreed to drop its appeal of the Fifth Circuit's ruling in Mach v. Garland, effectively vacating the ATF's pistol brace rule nationwide.

This video discusses the Supreme Court's unanimous 9-0 decision in a case involving the Martins, who were victims of an FBI wrong-house raid. The core issue revolves around the discretionary function exception under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which the government uses to claim immunity.
