The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has recently filed a response to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in various pistol brace cases, which are currently undergoing consolidation at the appellate court level. The ATF's response argues that the lower courts have either misinterpreted the analysis or granted injunctions that exceed the scope of their authority. Consequently, the ATF is pushing for the removal of the nationwide injunction and individual organizational injunctions, including those of Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and Gun Owners of America (GOA).
The Texas Suppressor Freedom case has been making waves in the firearms community as it aims to challenge the National Firearms Act (NFA) and the regulations imposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) on suppressors. In a recent development, the ATF is seeking to have the case thrown out by the fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing that a positive ruling in favor of the plaintiffs would allow individuals to circumvent the required NFA tax.
In the past days, the gun community has found itself in the midst of a contentious debate sparked by a recent ruling regarding firearm possession by illegal immigrants. The ruling, issued in Illinois by a judge appointed under the Obama administration, has raised eyebrows and prompted a flurry of questions.
