SCOTUS takes up "Frames & Receivers" case

What is the rule they are challenging?
ATF released a rule interpreting the Federal definition of Frame or Receiver to include partially completed frames and receivers, aka 80% lowers. They said they are no different then a serialized frame and receiver and that you must transfer them as such. It was struck down by the 5th circuit and appealed to the Supreme Court.
 
Judge Abena Darkeh should lose her job, and her law license. among other consequences for violating the defendants constitutional rights.

In a sane world that would happen. But in this one?

So is it gonna turn out like bumpstocks and braces? Just never address it again?

No, it's pretty likely this gets upheld and the Feds lose another gun control case. With the current make up of the Court it's unlikely the Feds are going to win any gun control cases. There's probably no better time than now to not comply with any ATF bullshit, odds have never been higher of a case reaching the SCOTUS and being overturned.

But, the communists will just keep ignoring the Court and use any cases that don't go their way as rhetoric. Feds intentionally didn't push the brace case to the SCOTUS because it's pretty much guaranteed that the SCOTUS would have upheld the lower court ruling that an agency can't just change rules whenever it suits them and the Feds don't want to open Pandora's Box with that because it opens up legal challenges to basically the entirety of how the Federal government is run now.

When they tire of loosing, they’ll pull the “climate emergency” card out.

Makes sense

Anyone know if the damned things are legal to own or not now? Braces or bunpstocks?

Whale, SCOTUS permits states to make up their own rules and the NY and NYC rules are 'no way, Jose'.

So in that sense she is correct.

The problem is that states can make up their own rules. This case is a limit on that.

wut?

a state cannot make a law that violates the constitution. its as simple as that.
 
Of course they can't.

But it is done all the time.

Ever hear of a carry permit? The infringement happens all the time.

SCOTUS has hidden behind 'tradition' on this as an excuse.

Has anyone brought a case about permits since bruen?

I’d like to, talked to a 2a lawyer for 5min. He was under the opinion an earlier SCOTUS decision that states could regulate OC or CC, but not both without infringing would stop a challenge.
