Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gun Owners of America (GOA) doing regarding the ATF's 'engaged in the business' rule?

GOA is actively opposing the Department of Justice's (DOJ) motion to stay the lawsuit challenging the ATF's 'engaged in the business' rule. They aim to secure a final judgment that permanently removes the rule, rather than allowing it to be delayed indefinitely.

Why is the DOJ trying to stall the lawsuit against the ATF's 'engaged in the business' rule?

The DOJ's motion to stay the lawsuit is seen as an attempt to prolong legal uncertainty and administrative processes. GOA argues this tactic is used to keep the rule in effect, especially during transitions in administrations, preventing a definitive resolution.

What is GOA's ultimate goal in challenging ATF rules like the 'engaged in the business' rule?

GOA's primary objective is to achieve a 'favorable final judgment' that permanently removes challenged gun control measures from the legal landscape. This strategy aims to take pieces of gun control legislation off the board permanently, rather than engaging in ongoing back-and-forth litigation.

How does the Administrative Procedure Act affect the repeal of ATF rules?

The APA mandates that agencies must use the same rulemaking procedures (proposal, public comment, finalization) to amend or repeal a rule as they did to issue it initially. This process is time-consuming and can take many months or years, making a final judgment a more efficient path for GOA.
