Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the Britto v. ATF ruling regarding pistol braces?

The Britto v. ATF ruling issued a nationwide injunction blocking the ATF's pistol brace rule in its entirety. This means the rule is currently unenforceable across the United States, providing temporary relief to firearm owners.

How does the Britto v. ATF decision relate to the Mock v. Garland case?

Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk's decision in Britto v. ATF built upon the precedent set in Mock v. Garland. While Mock v. Garland provided a limited injunction, Britto v. ATF expanded this to a nationwide injunction against the entire pistol brace rule.

What are the criteria for obtaining a preliminary injunction like the one in Britto v. ATF?

To secure a preliminary injunction, plaintiffs must demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits, irreparable harm without the injunction, that the balance of equities favors them, and that the injunction serves the public interest.

What is the likely next step for the ATF following the nationwide injunction?

The ATF is expected to appeal the ruling to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and will likely seek an emergency stay to temporarily reinstate the pistol brace rule while the appeal is pending.
