HUGE WIN. It's Official, ATF's Rule on Frames and Receivers Has Been Knocked Out

William Kirk of Washington Gun Law analyzes a Supreme Court ruling on ATF Rule 2021R-05F concerning frames and receivers.

This decision has significant implications for other ATF regulations.

If ATF agents arrive without a warrant, consent is typically required, and politely declining is advised.
