NRA, 25 states sue Biden ATF to stop 'arbitrary' and 'unlawful' pistol brace rule

The NRA filed a lawsuit in North Dakota challenging the Biden administration's new rule regulating pistols equipped with stabilizing braces as short-barreled rifles.

"The bureau is declaring that they will effectively decide on a case-by-case basis whether a firearm is subject to the NFA. Every American gun owner is in danger of potentially facing felony charges at the whim of these bureaucrats and without any new statute in place," said Jason Ouimet, executive director, National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action.  Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital.
