Frequently Asked Questions

What is the current status of the ATF's pistol brace rule?

Judge O'Connor has granted preliminary injunctions in cases like Mock v. Garland, preventing the ATF from enforcing the pistol brace rule against members of organizations like FPC and NAGR. The Fifth Circuit also found the rule likely violates the APA.

How is the ATF responding to the injunctions against the pistol brace and FRT rules?

Reports suggest ATF field offices are continuing to attempt enforcement of these rules against individuals protected by injunctions, despite being notified. The ATF has also taken little to no legal response to the injunction decisions themselves.

What is the significance of the Fifth Circuit's ruling in Mock v. Garland?

The Fifth Circuit found that the ATF likely exceeded its statutory authority and violated the APA with the pistol brace rule, especially by significantly altering the final rule from the proposed version. This strengthens the case for injunctions.

What should individuals do if contacted by the ATF regarding braced pistols or FRTs?

If contacted by the ATF, it is crucial to contact an attorney and reach out to any organizations you are a member of that may offer protection through injunctions. Do not speak to ATF agents without legal counsel present.
