Gun Rights groups vow to fight back as ATF pistol brace rule takes effect
Fox News
Gun rights groups slammed a Biden administration rule enacted Tuesday that forces gun owners to register stabling braces used for firearms such as pistols.
The Firearms Policy Coalition filed a lawsuit against the rule Tuesday, slamming the ATF for attempting to unlawfully "expand its authority." Patrick Hauf is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"Federal agencies do not have the power to write new laws, and yet the ATF continues to attempt to expand its authority using the federal rulemaking process," Cody Wisniewski, a senior attorney for the Firearms Policy Coalition, said.
"This ‘rule’ is, in effect, a federal law that will transform millions of peaceable people into felons overnight simply for owning a firearm that has been lawful to own for decades. We won’t stand idly by while the ATF tramples the rights of millions of peaceable individuals," Wisniewski continued.
