Which court will hear the appeal of the frame and receiver rule?

The appeal of the frame and receiver rule will be heard by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. This court has previously shown a favorable stance towards Second Amendment rights in its rulings.

What is the speaker's main criticism of the ATF's frame and receiver regulation?

The speaker criticizes the ATF for attempting to regulate items based on their potential future use or what they could become, rather than their current state. They argue this is an overreach of the agency's authority and a tactic to justify regulation through redefinition.
