Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Vanderstok v. Garland case about?

The Vanderstok v. Garland case concerns the ATF's rule expanding the definition of 'firearm' to include unfinished frames and receivers. The ATF seeks Supreme Court review to uphold its rule, while plaintiffs argue it is unlawful and causes irreparable harm.

What was the Fifth Circuit's ruling on the ATF frames and receivers rule?

The Fifth Circuit partially upheld a lower court's ruling against the ATF's frames and receivers rule but vacated the nationwide vacatur, stating it was beyond the lower court's authority. This led the ATF to seek Supreme Court review.

How has the Supreme Court intervened in the ATF frames and receivers case?

The Supreme Court has intervened twice via emergency orders, first staying the enforcement of a nationwide vacatur and later striking down limited injunctions. This indicates the Court is limiting positive relief until it rules on the merits.

What is the ATF's main argument to the Supreme Court?

The ATF argues that the Supreme Court should strike down the lower courts' decisions, not only the nationwide vacatur, but also rule that the ATF engaged in lawful rulemaking and that its restriction on unfinished frames and receivers was proper.
