The NFA On Trial & DOJ Defends It YET AGAIN!

The video discusses the ATF's fluctuating stance on rewriting the frame and receiver rule. Initially planning to rewrite, then stating they would keep the rule, the ATF has now announced plans to rewrite it again due to pressure from Second Amendment groups, industry stakeholders, and government officials.

The critical Gun Owners of America (GOA) and State of Texas case seeks a permanent injunction against this enforcement theory.

The US v. Peterson case challenges the NFA's suppressor restrictions, arguing it violates the Second Amendment.
