Supreme Court Decision Limits ATF and State Regulatory Agencies' Power Over Second Amendment Rights

1 year ago

In a recent Supreme Court decision, the case of Sacket v. EPA, the highest court in the United States issued a unanimous ruling that could have far-reaching implications for gun rights. While the case primarily dealt with the jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) over property rights, the Court's decision highlighted the need for Congress to regulate such matters rather than delegating authority to regulatory agencies. This ruling challenges the widely known Chevron defense, which has allowed agencies like the ATF and the EPA to create rules without explicit authorization from Congress. As a result, the decision could significantly curtail the power of both federal and state regulatory bodies to restrict constitutionally protected rights, including the Second Amendment.

House Votes Against ATF Pistol Brace Rule, Senate Decision Pending

1 year ago

In a significant development regarding the ATF's pistol brace rule, the House of Representatives has voted in favor of House Joint Resolution 44 (HJR44). The resolution nullifies the ATF's rule, stating that pistol braces are illegal and making gun owners with pistol brace-equipped AR-15 style rifles felons. With a close vote of 219 to 210, the House has sent a strong message against the ATF's stance on pistol braces. However, the resolution must now pass through the Senate, where its fate remains uncertain due to the dominance of a political party traditionally opposed to expanding gun rights. Additionally, the President's support is required for the resolution to become law, and the President has previously expressed reservations about the AR-15 and pistol braces.
