Last week, federal courts gave gun rights activists two significant wins, both at the expense of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
The U.S. Supreme Court tossed a rule banning bump stocks, and a district court in Texas decided a different rule reclassifying pistol braces had to go, too.
But after clearing committee, the legislation has languished waiting for a vote from the full Ohio House. Now, with federal courts making the proposal’s catalyst effectively moot, it’s unclear what’s next for the bill.A man named William Mock challenged the ATF’s pistol brace rule in Texas. After failing to get a preliminary injunction in the federal district court, the plaintiffs took the case to the 5th Circuit Court of appeals.
The district court granted a preliminary injunction in October putting the ATF’s rule on hold — at least for the plaintiffs in the case. Last week, the same judge determined the rule was“In this case, vacatur is appropriate given the court’s conclusion that defendants’ adoption of the Final Rule violated the procedural requirements,” Judge Reed O’Connor wrote.
In addition, Thomas chided the agency for its rapid change of heart on the accessory following a mass shooting in Las Vegas. Executive director of the Buckeye Firearms Association Dean Rieck emphasized that about-face in a press release applauding the court decision. “This ruling is almost a guaranteed death sentence for the ATF’s even more lawless rule change on the pistol brace ban,” he went on. “Which means these degenerate lefties are getting told by the court, if they want to pass gun control they’re going to have to do it through Congress.”
