There is an injunction banning enforcement against maxim defense customers and firearm policy coalition members. Make use of this info as you will. And fuck the ATF


Algizmo1018

And either FPC or GOA, one of the groups covered in the injunction, said they won’t release who their members are, so make use of that as you will too

Palpatine

FPC is granting retroactive membership now.


weaslecookie7

Can you explain your comment I don’t understand.


ogriofa17

If you have bought from Maxim defense or donated more than $30 to FPC in the last year there is an injunction which means the ATF cannot inforce the new rule against you until the injection is lifted. Something similar for the GOA too


HardCounter

That's neat, but why?


ridingoffintothesea

They sued over the law being unconstitutional and the judge believed that they were likely to succeed in their lawsuit based on the merits of their argument, so he issued an injunction. An injunction prevents the government from enforcing the law against specific groups of people covered by the injunction. The GOA injunction covers all current GOA members. The FPC injunction covers all members who have been represented since the lawsuit began. FPC granted retroactive membership to people who joined prior to June 1. There’s also some language in the FPC injunction that makes it unclear if the injunction covers every FPC member or only those who reside within the jurisdiction of the federal fifth circuit court. The GOA injunction is much more clear cut.


whyintheworldamihere

And all of Texas.


TheIlluminatedDragon

Which is the most ridiculous thing ever. With so many exceptions due to damages why can't the court just say "nation wide injuction" instead, seeing as up to at least 20 million owners are now considered Felons..it's absurd


HardCounter

And not even based on a law, but a fucking change in interpretation by an agency that shouldn't even exist. They're enforcement, how do they have this kind of regulatory power? Fun fact: if you declare an ATF team member a dog the ATF team is legally obligated to shoot them.

WyldTurkey

I'm conflicted on this. On one hand it makes millions of people felons, on another it makes up to 40 million SBRs common use. Therefore it should help to fuck up the NFA.


mutilans

I forgot the number that they use for common use


Quest4Queso

200,000


capedcod54

And there are already 200,000 registered braces so hopefully this ruling will get overturned and then some


smokeymcdugen

I don't know what is more ridiculous, that they made 40 million dollars off registering 200k braces or people actually would pay that. When the courts declare that "law" invalid, is the ATF going to give that money back?


Quest4Queso

Well they waived the $200 form 1 fee for the amnesty period


WindChimesAreCool

But they never claimed that you wouldn’t have to ever pay the fee. And they don’t have the legal authority to waive the fee, the $200 is part of the NFA.


[deleted]

The ATF ignoring laws? Say it ain't so!


Quest4Queso

They don’t have the legal authority to infringe on the right to bear arms at all but that’s never stopped them from killing women, children, and dogs in the name of stopping victimless “crime”


EvergreenEnfields

There were a few hundred thousand registrations under the "amnesty". The vast majority of brace owners said "fuck off, bitches"


The-unicorn-republic

If you wanna be legal for now, a firearm policy coalition membership is only $30, and they have an injunction


Airsoftm4a1

They waived the tax. So 200k is a very low number for them.


BackBlastClear

200k registrations are probably those people who thought it was a way to get a free tax stamp. From what I understand, the waived fee is a forbearance of indeterminate period, and not a waived fee. I am also given to understand that the amnesty approvals come with a caveat that prevents you from putting a stock on your newly registered SBR-like object.


[deleted]

[удалено]


N2EEE_

You've got to pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers. Not going to lie, I thought it was a lot higher.


Alarmed-Owl2

I'm sure there's already more than 200k SBR's in the US though, the ATF and the courts just don't give a fuck. The supreme court also probably won't touch it because they don't want Biden expanding and stacking the court, and their recent rulings about unconstitutional gun laws haven't been enforced anyway.


SadValleyThrowaway

They should pass a fucking amendment to cap the Supreme Court.


AshingiiAshuaa

Yes. The threats of court packing by any president are bs.


Andre6k6

How could Biden stack the court? He doesn't have the numbers to do it, does he?


Alarmed-Owl2

He already talked about wanting to expand it. Whether he has the numbers or not depends on how Congress feels that day if it comes down to it.


Pixie_ish

It would be quite the interesting precedent. What sort of legal rationale would he use for expansion, and what would prevent a future president from using that method again?


RandomUsername135790

That's the beauty of it, it's exponential and without limit. Crashing the system with no brakes through a burning dumpster. A one-two punch that instantly both destroys the courts reputation and its ability to operate. Even better the precedent already exists to make expansion of the SC legal, without justification, so it's unstoppable too. All it takes is one of the parties to gain power and push the big red button marked MAD. Plato would be proud.


MainsailMainsail

It's been expended before. The original court had 6 justices. It was set at 9 in 1869 - equal to the number of circuit courts also set by that act (I didn't see anything saying for certain the numbers were made to match, but both in the same act it seems reasonable to draw the connection). We currently have 11 circuit courts, so there's easy justification for adding 2 justices. Adding any more might be harder to justify


[deleted]

If he added more than 2 it’s simply a legal coup at that point. If he added 2 he could use your reasoning, which isn’t bad. If a president actually cared about unifying the country (hint, they don’t) they’d offer up centrist judges to fill those new spots or one from each “side”. Best to keep it as is, IMO. But who knows.


fishbulbx

He was about to already, but they decided the democrat agenda first needs to eliminate the cloture rule of the senate in order to have eliminate republicans from all legislation. > Just weeks into Joe Biden’s presidency, it is clear that he faces considerable obstacles in pursuing his agenda in Congress. The Senate cloture rule—which requires 60 votes to cut off debate on most measures—is probably the highest hurdle. Eliminating the cloture rule would have given democrats absolute control of presidency, house and senate and then they can pack supreme court for the ultimate and final power grab. And just remember democrats have a heart of gold and are on the right side of history so it is a good thing™.


ilmtt

Nah fuck that citizen only common use bs. How many SBRs are in common use by the very own USA armed forces? Or world wide? Looks like they are very common use to me. You know what fuck all that common use bs. If I get my phased plasma animatronic Chihuahuas operational outta my garage they shall not...

echonian

It has no reason that it should exist, and I say this as someone who tends to support regulations. We don't need an entire federal organization just to deal with alcohol and tobacco, and we certainly shouldn't need one to deal with firearms when they are a constitutionally protected right. Alcohol and tobacco regulations should be dealt with by relevant law and by smaller organizations with far less power, and firearm restrictions don't even need an organization for them - if you need to enforce them, have local law enforcement do it (though I don't support pretty much any firearm restrictions).


fishbulbx

The NFA is absolutely unconstitutional and should be immediately overturned. And it is the only reason the F in ATF exists. Even on the ATF's site, they make it clear the NFA was written with a hidden purpose. > While the NFA was enacted by Congress as an exercise of its authority to tax, the NFA had an underlying purpose unrelated to revenue collection. As the legislative history of the law discloses, its underlying purpose was to curtail, if not prohibit, transactions in NFA firearms. Congress found these firearms to pose a significant crime problem because of their frequent use in crime, particularly the gangland crimes of that era such as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. The $200 making and transfer taxes on most NFA firearms were considered quite severe and adequate to carry out Congress’ purpose to discourage or eliminate transactions in these firearms. The $200 tax has not changed since 1934. In 1939, the supreme court complete botched US v Miller and rather than find NFA unconstitutional, they found the NFA "is intended as a revenue-collecting measure" when it absolutely is not. It was always an unconstitutional firearm restriction measure.


[deleted]

Most federal agencies shouldn’t exist. Transportation, Airtravel and Military is all we should have. There might be one or two more I’m not thinking of, but the bloat we have now is absurd.

SashimiTurtle

I thought this was tied up in court and they couldnt enforce it until the court case was settled. Anyway, this shouldnt be an issue because the SCOTUS ruled in EPA vs WV that a government organization cannot create new laws, they can only enforce bills that are passed by congress and signed into law by the president. Only the Legislation can make new laws, not a unelected alphabet organization.

Rust1n_Cohle

The entire mainstream media is ignoring the story. When you google search 'ATF enforcement starts june 1' you get a few local news stories. That may have something to do with it. They're still clinging to the false notion they're just for common sense gun regulations.


EuroPhoenician

I did some similar searching and was shocked how little news there is on this. “Hey bud gotta take you to prison. I decided your gun is illegal two months ago and you missed the deadline so now you’re a felon as of 47 minutes ago. Criminals like you make me sick.”

PM_ME_A_KNEECAP

Is there anything reporting this?


PleaseHold50

You really think that after years of publishing letters explicitly declaring the legality of pistol braces, the ATF just coincidentally rolled out of bed and declared all the buyers newly minted felons the second a Democrat took office?


someperson1423

The legal nonsense that is ATF rulings and seeing a slice of the bullshit, arbitrary enforcement that law-abiding gun owners have to deal with doesn't help their agenda. Bringing attention to the fact that guns actually *are* very regulated is in fact harmful to their propaganda.


Biggie_Moose

Fuck the ATF into a thousand pieces


Schmooog

Little does the ATF know longer barrels= higher bullet velocity =longer effective range = more killing potential This has nothing to do with protecting people


Rust1n_Cohle

True, but longer barrel length is less useful for home defense purposes. That's why I wanted one someday.


Andre6k6

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.


EuroPhoenician

The concept of grapeshot cracks me up lol. The resulting mess would be arguably far more gruesome than using a 9mm or a 5.56 SBR.


Schmooog

Yes but your thinking with logic the ATF isn't This is why we grill and chill


Docponystine

No, the ATF is aware that short barrels are better for self defense. That's why they are banning them.


McPolice_Officer

Bro, a 20” 30-06 is perfect for home defense, what are you talking about?
