In another blow to the Biden Administration’s ongoing war on the gun industry and firearm owners a federal judge has thrown out the ATF’s attempt at regulating gun parts and partial receivers as complete firearms. Gun parts and 80 percent frame makers JSD Supply and Polymer80 were intervenors in the case, VanDerStok v. Garland.
After earlier issuing an injunction blocking ATF enforcement, United States District Court Judge Reed O’Connor ruled yesterday that the ATF overstepped its regulatory authority by, in effect, unilaterally re-writing the Gun Control Act of 1968 to allow it to regulate gun parts as it does complete firearms.
