YEAH. One for the good guys. (Not that I own or expect to own one, but if I want to I should be able to. The BATF are SUPPOSED to follow the rules just like I am supposed to follow the rules.)

It does not effect me at all as I dont own one, and probably never will.
However its a win for all of us, to know that an enforcement agency can't create policy, only enforce what has been created by the legislative branch of government. The checks an balances are intended this way, and the ATF needs to abide by this..

already watched the video, and what makes me smile is the ATF will appeal, to the 5th Circuit, and there is no way they will reverse themselves. They already granted an injunction for Mock v Garland, the other brace lawsuit.
I don't have a dog in this fight either, except for the concept of alphabet agencies adhering to laws passed by congress and that pesky constitution. With that said, I'm glad that the courts are finally reigning in these agencies.
……HOORAY!…..

Would that this could be the final word; but politics corrupts the judiciary against the concept of 'blind justice'. The integrity of the bench is obviously not what it should be, we have too many examples (do your own research) that make it obvious particularly when it comes to gun laws. Common sense and the ability to read seems lacking in many of these cases and one can only surmise that when they don't agree politically with decisions based on the Constitution, intricate contortions and warped logic spawn decisions that will obviously be overturned - but they don't care. Stall tactics and propaganda campaigns seek to convince that it's really midnight at noon. "Believe what we tell you - not your lying eyes - that's the moon, not the sun!"
No doubt this will not be the end of this issue, but hopefully will force the agencies to slow down trying to legislate by regulation instead of vice versa. As noted in other places here lately, "elections have consequences". That's where this issue will be won or lost. Without a doubt legislation from both sides will be proffered. Meanwhile, the Feds now have lists of serial numbers of those that registered their not (now) SBRs that will make it much easier to keep tabs without the extra effort of research and sifting data. A nothing burger to some, but . . .

where they screwed up Fred, is there is now incontrovertible proof that there are at least half a million braced pistols owned by lawful citizens for lawful purposes. That just guaranteed they can't be banned based on SCOTUS rulings.
Anyone read about this thing called prohibition? A constitutional amendment to ban the sale and possession of alcoholic beverages. Alcohol was perfectly legal before 1920, yet congress banned it from 1920 to 1933, so don't delude yourselves into thinking that lawful possession by millions today prevents a prohibition tomorrow. Would it be a mistake for the government to do such a thing? Yes, but humans have a habit of forgetting history and its mistakes and end up repeating the mistakes.
Judge Reed O’Connor is one member of the Federal judiciary who does not tolerate anyone putting their finger on the scale of justice!!! Good for him!!! And, good for America!!! Sincerely. bruce.
But in common use was not the only reason for setting it aside. The changes to the final rule from the preliminary one seem to be the other reason. "logical outgrowth"

I do not know if this is a nationwide injunction or just in the Fifth Circuit. No big deal, I'm in the Fifth Circuit

Congress AND OVER 2/3 OF STATE LEGISLATURES passed a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting alcohol, the 18th. Completely different process. Let's remember that part of it, and not oversimplify...
The bigger fear is, this will just delay the settling the matter. If it is simply procedural, the ATF will just retry again and we'll have to go through this whole issue again.
Nice to shoot it down, but also not good that the whole thing isn't just going to be potentially scuttled and over.

I don't think it really starts all over.
As I understand this:
The 5th circuit court of appeals sent this down to the Federal Northern District of Texas. In the District Court, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk stayed the rule in it’s entirety. Previous to sending the case to the district court, the 5th Circuit had issued a limited stay based on multiple points.
If the ATF doesn’t appeal Judge Kacsmaryk’s ruling, the rule is stayed. If the ATF does appeal, it will go back to the 5th Circuit. If they don’t uphold Judge Kacsmaryk’s ruling, they would be effectively reversing their own opinion.
If they uphold the lower court’s ruling, the ATF would have to appeal to the Supreme Court. If they uphold or refuse to hear it, the rule is stayed.
I’m not an attorney. If anyone can help me better understand, please jump in.

More like millions. Where they originally screwed up is when they said they were legal…several times. Tough to change boats midstream.
