Center to Keep and Bear Arms Halts Biden’s Firearm Rule
On Friday, September 2, a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction to Tactical Machining, one of the plaintiffs represented by CKBA in the VanDerStok case. The order blocks the ATF and the Department of Justice from enforcing against Tactical Machining a new set of regulations that unlawfully redefine the term “firearm.”
We were thrilled to read these words from the District Court’s Opinion and Order: “Covered by the injunction, Tactical Machining can operate its business as it has, free from the threat of enforcement of the Final Rule’s unlawful redefinitions.”
Contrary to the text of the Gun Control Act, the ATF’s new rule improperly defines a range of inert objects as “firearms.” With this effort to rewrite the law, the DOJ and ATF are exceeding their authority, and causing unprecedented difficulties for those involved in the lawful self-manufacture of firearms for personal use.
