SUMMARY JUDGMENT!!! We just won summary judgment striking down the ATF’s forced reset trigger ban in a scathing 64-page ruling. I’ll drop some highlights below as I go thought it. This is a huge win!!! 
Obviously the ATF is going to double down and fight like crazy to get this overturned at the 5th Circuit, so please consider donating to this case here: secure.anedot.com/national-found…
One thing to remember with this ruling: this is not a 2A Bruen-based case. This is about agency powers and the rule of law. And Judge O’Connor is spitting fire in defense of the democratic process. 🔥
Here’s a link to the ruling that should work for everyone: acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc…
Hard to believe that the ATF actually argued we don’t have standing because there’s no credible threat of prosecution. Thankfully, the judge was not having it.
Really appreciate O’Connor’s pointing this out. My staff has been playing whack-a-mole with the ATF agents harassing our members over FRTs, despite the injunction blocking the ATF from doing just that. We had to file a Notice of Noncompliance reporting it to the court.
🔥🔥🔥
Also huge. There have been a LOT of evidentiary and process shenanigans from the ATF on the FRT issue.
Judge O’Connor calls the ATF out on their effort to back-door Chevron deference into the case:
And finally: enter Cargill!! As we have argued all along, the facts are exactly the same whether you’re talking bump stocks or forced reset triggers. Judge O’Connor confirms unequivocally.
Now for the relief. Is there any more beautiful word in the language than “vacates”?
Judge O’Connor finishes off with a poignant ode to the rule of law and the Constitution put in place by the Founders. Beautifully said. 🇺🇸
Massive props to @dhillonlaw for their stellar representation in this case! 👏 Outstanding work defending gun rights and the rule of law!
