?The bump stock rule made it a new federal crime to own a bump stock, even one purchased with ATF?s prior permission. ATF knows it didn?t have the authority to enact such a law. Instead of defending the rule, ATF now pretends the ban is just a recommendation for the public. NCLA is confident the court will see through ATF?s games and strike down this invalid rule.? ?Caleb Kruckenberg, Litigation Counsel


?ATF is caught between a rock and a hard place. The agency lacks legal authority to issue a so-called legislative rule, but a mere interpretive rule is not legally allowed to bind any third parties outside the government. By ordering half a million bump stock owners to surrender their devices?or face prosecution?ATF has acted in a completely unconstitutional fashion. It is high time for the federal courts to put a stop to this regulatory nonsense.?
?Mark Chenoweth, Executive Director and General Counsel
