Federal Judge Issues Nationwide Stay Preventing Enforcement of ATF’s Pistol Brace Rule

Great news for those of us following the 2A fights in the courts!

Late last Wednesday in the case Britto v. ATF, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, blocked enforcement of the pistol brace rule after a three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals last month found that the rule violated the Administrative Procedures Act because it “was not a logical outgrowth of the proposed rule,” that the “monumental error was prejudicial,” and that it “must be set aside as unlawful”.

Now before we start pouring the scotch, we have a remember that our government loves spending our hard earned tax dollars. So enviably, we can expect the Justice Department to appeal this all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States.

We the People have a few options going forward. One is to ask a lawyer what to do, because this is for educational and informative purposes. There’s the option of going back to the way things were before the rule; lawfully exercising you constitutional rights. The safer option (for your dog) is to hold out for the Supreme Court ruling. Hard to say when that’ll happen as the Supreme Court is just now taking up the bump stock case 5 years after the ban.
