Biden’s ATF loses big in ‘pistol brace’ case

[Anonymous]

In a huge blow to President Joe Biden’s bid to ban “assault weapons,” a federal court today ruled that the administration’s effort to regulate and tax AR-15 style “pistols” is “unlawful” and “illegitimate.”

In a 12-page decision, the Texas-based U.S. District Court vacated the rule that could have led to the destruction of millions of firearms, among the most popular in America, and the jailing of owners who had refused to comply with the administration.

The court also blasted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for thinking that it could change a long-established exemption overnight to make ownership of the firearms illegal.

To be fair, the losers are the American public.

But for some reason the US District Court will not allow these in court. Weird!

The ATF doesn’t have the authority to make laws.

“For the reasons set out above, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment on the grounds that the Final Rule violated the APA’s procedural requirements because it was arbitrary and capricious and was not a logical outgrowth of the Proposed Rule; DENIES Defendants’ Cross Motion for Summary Judgment; DENIES Plaintiffs’ request for a permanent injunction; and VACATES the Final Rule.”

This is not a bad ruling. For those who actually use braces I think they should be allowed.

It's important to provide a wide array of options to the next elementary school shooter.

+1 absolutely, the ATF overstepped.

This whole gambit by ATF was flawed ab initio.

Their justification / premise was:

“pistol braces make a pistol more accurate, therefore potentially more likely to hit the target, therefore more dangerous”

Re-phrase that premise and it becomes:

- it is dangerous to allow devices which make firearms more accurate?

This BATFE rule was destined to fail eventually. It was logically indefensible.

Same judge who just got smacked down 9-0 in the abortion pill case. He’s such a whack job even Alito and Thomas can’t stomach it.

I checked - this is a different Trump appointee, not Kacsmaryk.

"In finding the plaintiffs would likely prevail in challenging the legality of the rule, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk enjoined the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) from enforcing the rule against four plaintiff states —Louisiana, Utah, Mississippi, and Texas, as well as members of Gun Owners of America — until the trial court makes a final ruling on the rule’s legality."

The insanity continues.
The media doesn’t even cover mass shootings anymore.
