Biden Oversteps

 It's been a great week for freedom, and another blow to the Biden agenda has come in, From Instapundit.

This comes from US District Court Judge Reed O'Connor of Texas

“This case presents the question of whether the federal government may lawfully regulate partially manufactured firearm components, related firearm products, and other tools and materials in keeping with the Gun Control Act of 1968,” wrote O’Connor. “Because the court concludes that the government cannot regulate those items without violating federal law, the court holds that the government’s recently enacted final rule … is unlawful agency action taken in excess of the ATF’s statutory jurisdiction. On this basis, the court vacates the final rule.”

It looks like the ATFs "ghost gun" ban just went the way of affirmative action and student-loan forgiveness. Joe Biden has had a very bad week.

Let Freedom Ring.

Gee, does a pistol brace count as a "firearm related product" too?

Yes, especially THIS week!

It took long enough... This should have come out the day after the rule was released.

1) this way he gets several years while the challenge works it's way though the courts,
2) politically, he gets to say "he tried", while he gets to blame the courts and Republicans.
Even if he gets nothing, he wins in the media. Thank God for the courts, but he still gets to play.

If the ruling means that the ATF can only regulate receivers/completed guns, what does this mean for auto sears and disconnects?

I believe that conversion kits still fall under the NFA, but that's a good question...
