Federal Court Overturns ATF's Pistol Brace Rule

Judge rules the regulation on AR-15 style pistols as unlawful and vague, impacting millions of firearm owners

The Texas U.S. District Court vacated the ATF's rule on AR-15 style pistols with stabilizing braces.
The decision cited the rule's lack of detailed justification and impermissible vagueness.
This ruling prevents potential criminalization of millions of firearm owners who did not comply.
The case, Mock vs. Garland, is expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The ATF's rule was initially approved but later overturned by an appeals court.
