Amicus Brief Filed Challenging ATF Pistol Brace Rule

Republican Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn filed an amicus brief that states the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) new pistol brace rule infringes on the Second Amendment.

The Daily Caller first obtained the briefing, which was officially filed Feb. 27 in the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota. Blackburn was joined by thirteen Republican Senators and dozens of House Republicans to fight the ATF after they enacted a rule that would make pistol stabilizing braces illegal for anyone without a certain license.

The rule would make gun owners face the possibility of being charged with a felony if they do not register their firearms with the stabilizing braces.

In the amicus brief, the lawmakers contend that the rule was never authorized by Congress and violates separation of powers principles.
