Video Summary

In a recent development, the NRA's motion to intervene in a lawsuit against the ATF's pistol brace rule has been denied by Judge Jane Boyle. The case, filed by the Second Amendment Foundation in the United States District Court Northern District of Texas, had already obtained injunctive relief for its members. This led the NRA to attempt to join the lawsuit in a last-minute move.

 

However, Judge Boyle ruled that the NRA's motion was untimely and that their interests were adequately represented by the current plaintiffs. She criticized the NRA for being late to the case and trying to take credit for the injunctive relief obtained by the Second Amendment Foundation. The court's decision was based on the fact that the NRA only sought to intervene after the court had granted preliminary injunctions to the plaintiffs.

 

This ruling is a blow to the NRA and its members, as they will not be receiving the injunctive relief obtained by the Second Amendment Foundation. It highlights the need for organizations like the Firearms Policy Coalition and Gun Owners of America, who have been praised for their efforts in protecting the Second Amendment rights of their members.

 

Washington gun law TV, in response to criticism from viewers, clarified their stance on the NRA. They explained that their previous videos had not made any personal comments about the NRA, but rather sought to hear from viewers about their experiences with the organization. They also apologized to any viewers who were offended by their critical video about the NRA, which was based on the comments left by viewers.

 

In conclusion, the NRA's motion to intervene in the lawsuit against the ATF's pistol brace rule has been denied. This ruling is a setback for the NRA, but a victory for the Second Amendment Foundation. It serves as a reminder of the importance of being informed about the law and understanding how it applies to gun owners in different situations.
