[FPC News] FPC AND FPCAF WIN: Fifth Circuit Denies Government Attempt to Reinstate A

<p><strong>NEW ORLEANS, LA</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">July 24, 2</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">023) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and FPC Action Foundation (FPCAF) announced that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has denied the federal government’s attempt to completely stay the district court’s decision in </span><a href="https://www.firearmspolicy.org/vanderstok"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">VanDerStok v. Garland</span></em></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which vacated ATF’s unlawful “frame or receiver” rule. This decision, which the Fifth Circuit stayed for 10 days, prevents ATF from enforcing the rule’s “regulatory definitions of ‘frame or receiver’ and ‘firearm’ as applied to the Gun Control Act of 1968,” while allowing the (non-challenged) remainder of the rule to be enforced while ATF appeals the district court Order. The Fifth Circuit’s Order can be viewed at </span><a href="http://fpclegal.org"><span style="font-weight: 400;">FPCLegal.org</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>

When Iowa went ‘straight wall’ I hurried to build a Bushy (because I always hated slinging cannon balls out of a pheasant gun for deer hunting). When I found a bolt gun I liked, I scraped my pennies together and moved up to a Ruger American with GoWild. 450 Bushmaster is an awesome deer gun!
