As of the 2022 session, all federal gun control bills have effectively died, with no expectation of Congress being recalled to pass them before the session ends January 3rd. Bills that passed one chamber and awaited action in another are also dead. While bills can be resubmitted in the new session, the shift in the House to a Republican majority presents a significant hurdle for anti-gun legislation. The ATF's rule on pistol braces is anticipated soon, with a court date set for the 28th.
