Game Changing Decision Puts ATF's SBR & Pistol Brace Rule In Big Trouble!!!

The video discusses the ongoing legal battle surrounding ATF pistol brace restrictions. While a nationwide vacatur of the rule exists, the DOJ continues to assert its underlying legal theory that braced pistols can be considered Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs) under the NFA.

The 11th Circuit is now rehearing arguments in light of this precedent, with judges appearing skeptical of the government's broad claims of immunity for operational failures.
