SCOTUS Plans to Hear a Regulatory Case That Could Be a HUGE Win For Gun Owners
From SCOTUS Blog:
The VA’s denial in Kisor’s case hinged on its interpretation of the term “relevant” in one of its regulations. On appeal, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled for the VA. The court of appeals acknowledged that the regulation was ambiguous, but it followed the Supreme Court’s cases – Auer v. Robbins and Bowles v. Seminole Rock & Sand Co. – instructing courts to defer to an agency’s interpretation of its own regulation unless the interpretation is plainly wrong or inconsistent with the regulation.
What this means, if Kisor wins, is that BATF would no longer be allowed to make up the law as it went along.
