Why the Cargill Case Will Be Bigger Than Bruen
William Kirk, President of Washington Gun Law, explains that the Cargill v. Garland case, scheduled for Supreme Court oral arguments on February 28th, 2024, is fundamentally about the separation of powers, not machine guns or primarily bump stocks. The case challenges the ATF's authority to ban items through rule-making rather than congressional legislation, a practice initiated with bump stocks and extended to other firearm components. This legal challenge could significantly alter how administrative agencies operate.
