Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current legal status of bump stocks in the US?

The ATF administratively banned bump stocks, but this was challenged and overturned by the Supreme Court in the Carill decision. Future bans would likely require legislative action from Congress, and a recent Senate hearing on the matter is considered 'dead on arrival'.

What is happening with pistol braces and the ATF?

A federal district court in Texas vacated the ATF's rule on pistol braces in Mock v. Garland, deeming it unconstitutional. The ATF and DOJ have appealed this decision to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

What is the significance of the Memphis ballot initiative?

Memphis voters approved an initiative to ban permitless carry and assault rifles, and institute red flag laws. This directly conflicts with Tennessee's strong state preemption laws, which prevent local governments from enacting stricter gun regulations than the state.

What are Force Reset Triggers (FRTs) and why are they controversial?

FRTs are triggers that require a pull for each shot and reset after each round. The ATF has attempted to classify them as machine guns, a move being challenged in court by groups like the National Association for Gun Rights, with support from 26 states.
