Pistol Brace Decision! 5th Circuit Rules in MOCK V GARLAND
- Thread starter Acer-m14
- Start date
In short..sent back down to district court for fact finding about the pistol braces...................
What a mess that decision is to read...like walking thru knee deep mud.
The conflict between any Agency, trying to write NEW law under the authority of the federal Administrative Procedure Act--the APA, has been shot in the head by SCOTUS....... ALREADY against the EPA...........and this applies to the any Agency and the ATF, too.
Other lower courts have already said that the ATF final rule is basically an unconstitutional situation, based upon the anti APA ruling by Scotus, and other courts agree............... and that Bruen rules.
But...
The arm brace situation is insane, and involves interpreting some older actual written law................... and the court could not figure it out.
THE COURT COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT..THE DIFF BETWEEN A SBR AND A PISTOL.....
I do not know what it means, but that libs heads are exploding, over this ruling, IS true

I still want someone to sue to get the whole SBS/SBR part of the NFA overturned over this.
After all, if the ATF changes it's mind about what is prohibited like this, doesn't that mean the statute itself must be unconstitutionally vague ?

Federal Judge Stays Entire ATF Pistol Brace Rule
A Texas-based Federal District Court judge issued a nationwide stay preventing the ATF pistol brace rule from going into effect.

Now we have the right precedent set directly against the ATF this time. The EPA ruling should have been enough, but this being directly against the ATF is huge.
Except in New York where the Constitution and Federal Judges mean nothing.
We really need to start going after the NFA, pistol braces, bump stocks, forced reset triggers are all small potatoes and a waste of time.

and the Rules come crumbling down ..
Excuse my ignorance, but it many other rulings it ends up only affecting the region covered by that court, or only affects the plaintiffs.
How does this Texas-based District court affect the rule nationwide when it hasn't even been to the 5th Circuit yet?

Because that judge had the balls to write his ruling that way AFAIK.
Leftist judges frequently write expansive rulings that cover the who country while they are appealed.
Conservative judges are under the illusion that the rule of law still means something in this country, so they try not to overstep their authority.

And quickly before our Supreme Court lead evaporates
Because the ATF is effectuating the rule Nation Wide...
And yes, from the EPA ruling, all acronym agencies who makes "rules" outside the limits and mandates for those agencies established by Congress should be on notice! But they will completely ignore the ruling, just wait and see...
Like the IRS established new tiers of taxation... isn't this Congress's job? Who the hell are agency/politburo slobs to establish those tiers? Hey, IRS, we need money, lets adjust the game a bit so we can take in more dough! Say it ain't so uncle JOE! and no, there'll be no malfeasance when the IRS agency has bolstered its audit arm for return processing while arming a good number of those agents too.
Anyways, back to this ruling... the Federal Gov't most assuredly has this all lined up and will just adjust and reapply the restrictions under a different name, or process! Probably go after the manufacturers, check their books, banking, employees, etc.! for anything they could use to shut them down...

When the punishment for violating the constitution is just that you have to stop doing it in that exact way, of course they're going to ignore the rules.
Just like shoplifters in some jurisdictions ignore the rules when the only punishment they suffer is that they have to give the stolen goods back *if* they get caught.
The only solution is for *each and every* officer or agent who violates the constitution to be liable for the harm they cause.
Now, I know a number of people will say "that's not their call" or "we can't do our job if we have to worry about that".
To that, I say "bullshit". If you're not confident enough in the constitutionality of a statute to risk
your own neck, then you absolutely should not be risking someone elses.

Another step in the right direction, but the pessimist that I am makes me think it will be followed by even more draconian measures of one fashion or another to subvert 2A.
Gun hobbyists (and liberty) win big in court
Fifth Circuit judges slap the ATF for making up illegal rules against homemade guns.
