ATF Loses Big in Forced Reset Trigger Case

Here is the judgment. It’s a scathing indictment of the ATF.
Of course, this will be fought out in appellate court, including en banc. So it’s far from over because the ATF can’t take a loss like this one.
But the judgment is powerfully reasoned.

That was a very well written opinion. Either the judge, or someone on his staff knows firearms pretty well.

Not the first time this judge has made a well reasoned and well written opinion concerning firearms/Second Amendment.
Perhaps the most damning was the observation that there were several bills on this issue in Congress that were never voted own when ATF made their rule.

With the striking down of Chevron Deference, there really is nothing for ATF to appeal.

Agree that “Loper Bright Enterprises” has come to the rescue. Being in the 5th Circuit, defendants are going to have a hard time overturning this decision.
