FPC is much more effective than NRA these days

FORT WORTH, TX (June 13, 2024) Today, Firearms Policy Coalition announced a major legal victory in its Mock v. Garland lawsuit challenging the Biden Administration's "pistol brace" ban rule issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). In the decision, United States District Court Judge Reed O'Connor granted summary judgment in favor of FPC and its co-plaintiffs and issued a final judgment and order vacating the ATF's rule. The case and opinion can be found at FPCLegal.org.

"The Biden Administration's ATF hates us so much that it lawlessly acted to turn millions of gun owners into felons, but FPC and our members ran towards the fire and defeated this evil," said FPC President Brandon Combs. "Today's order shows that our community can take on an immoral government and win. FPC members should be proud of what was accomplished today. We look forward to defending this victory on appeal and up to the Supreme Court, just as we have in other cases."

Today's victory is one in a line of FPC community successes against the Biden Administration. Indeed, the United States Supreme Court recently agreed to hear one of FPC's cases in which it prevailed in the courts below.

The plaintiffs are represented by attorneys Cody Wisniewski of FPC Action Foundation, Bradley Benbrook and Stephen Duvernay of the Benbrook Law Group, and R. Brent Cooper and Benjamin Passey of Cooper & Scully. Plaintiffs in this case are two individual FPC members, Maxim Defense, and FPC. FPC Action Foundation represented the Plaintiffs, alongside Benbrook Law. FPC expects the Mock decision and remedy to be appealed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

First off, you might want to add your own take on this so that it stays up.

Secondly, good. It's not this business of the ATF to decide what is or is not legal. They are a regulatory body, not a legislative one and thus don't get to make the law. They are only to enforce the law.

Next trick will be to get them to enforce the law without killing dogs and innocent bystanders that are not a direct physical threat to ATF agents.

"shall not be infringed."

Pretty freaking clear.

Now for all the other infringements.

Love that we have some organizations now that actually meaningfully go after this trash. GOA and FPC have been legally hammering the ATF and bogus legislation the last few years and its working.

I fully realize that the vast majority of Americans have no clue what a "stabilizing brace" is or even that the ATF created a rule regarding it, let it stand for many years, and then reversed it after millions and millions of Americans had legally purchased and used said device.

It's literally one of the most commie things I have ever seen this government do and it was completely intentional. The ATF approved the "brace" rule during the Obama administration and there is absolutely no question the dems attempted to play the long game to make millions of Americans (mostly white male conservatives) felons overnight.

Absolute commie scum.

When the ATF loses, freedom loving Americans win!

Things like binary triggers, bump stocks, AR braces, etc. would not even exist if it were not for the absolutely stupid laws we have regarding firearms. They exist only as a mechanism to accomplish something that the law tries like hell to prevent citizens from owning.

It's dumb, the ATF is an unconstitutional communist organization that would, if left to it's own devices, do everything and anything possible to disarm every single American citizen - up to and including fire bombing a building and burning 75 people alive. Then taking pictures on the ashes and bodies after. Not illegals though, they don't seem to have the same laws applied to them.

So allow me to translate this case in terms the board libs and CM's may understand.

Let's say the DEA decides to allow farms to sell marijuana plants to individuals for the purpose of growing their own weed for personal consumption. The DEA even provides form letters to the farmers stating it is legal and the farmers send the letters out with each plant to ship or sell.

Millions and millions of Americans think this is great and they go out buy the plants and start growing weed in their backyards, greenhouses, on their deck, etc.

7-8 years go by and the DEA changes it mind. They put a new ruling out that says you can no longer grow marijuana plants and you must either destroy the plants or hand them over to the DEA or you will be a felon. Pot growers say hey, that's not fair. You told us it was legal. You even put it in writing.

DEA says, yeah we did, and since we are such good people we'll offer you this. If you're willing to let the DOJ get a mugshot, fingerprints, fill out some forms, undergo an FBI background check, pay a $200 fee per plant, and register your plants with the DEA, you can keep them legally. Oh and this process will take years to complete and we can't really guarantee you're legal to own the plants during this timeframe because we're basically making this up as we go. Sorry.

That's pretty much exactly what the ATF/DOJ/dem party did to millions of gun owners.

Next to suppressors ("silencers") the whole rifle/ pistol/ short barreled rifle, brace, short barrel, sawed off, folding stock/ etc mess is the biggest confusing nonsense in the ATF world.

Lots of potential felons over things that make almost zero difference in the number or types of crimes committed

That's not a bug of the system.

American citizens should be able to own any firearm they can afford, from a single shot, bolt action .22 up to and including an M134 or a GAU-8.

Repeal the National Firearms Act or better yet, let Clarence Thomas write an opinion on it and put it out of our misery.
