On May 19, 2024, United States District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk issued a temporary restraining order against the Biden administration, forbidding them from enforcing the parts of the ATF “final rule” having to do with a re-definition of “engaged in the business” as part of federal firearms law. From the order:
CONCLUSION
Defendants are TEMPORARILY RESTRAINED from enforcing the regulations — “Definition of ‘Engaged in the Business’ as a Dealer in Firearms” — published at 89 Fed. Reg. 28968 (April 19, 2024) (to be codified at 27 C.F.R. pt. 478) against Plaintiffs Texas, Jeffery Tormey, the Gun Owners of America, Inc., the Gun Owners Foundation, the Tennessee Firearms Association, and the Virginia Citizens Defense League, through June 2, 2024. Plaintiffs Louisiana, Mississippi, and Utah are excluded from the relief granted herein.
Gary Marbut, the foremost authority on all legal issues involving gun law in Montana, has issued a press release substantiating the chilling effects on a Montana gun show. From the press release:
MISSOULA, Mont. – A gun show scheduled in Hamilton, Montana for the weekend of May 17th, 18th and 19th has been cancelled because of the new regulation by the Biden administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATFE) redefining what “engaged in business” is for selling one or more firearms.

That won’t do much good for Bryan Malinowski.
The idea of bureaucracies re-interpreting laws and codifying their opinions into law has got to stop. Top abusers are the EPA and ATF that have been weaponized by the rat party.
If our elected representatives believe those they represent want every private gun seller to have an FFL, then such laws should be legislated and then codified.
It’s insane how our elected representatives have been shirking their duties for who knows how long just so they can spend more time getting rich while in office and catering to special interests.
My thoughts as well.
If the Demoncrats manage to get Joe Birdbrain re-elected count on them to finish destroying the Middle Class and the 2nd Amendment and then hello totalitarian government. Let’s hope and prey they don’t then shut of Tik Tok or life will really not be worth living.
Disband ATF.
No, it won’t.
Enforcement still boils down each counties Sheriff.
No, the ATF can make their own bust and try in federal court unless you are Branch Davidians and David Coresh where you face trial by fire.
AND still the Gestapo thug ATF website says “we don’t make the rules /laws”
Bunch of murdering thugs
This operation spooked our open air Flea market up here too.
It’s a Fearful Time indeed.
we really need to reassign the ate staff to some constitutional and useful work and shut the damned outfit down permanently
maybe digging post holes for our southern defense fence, or I would actually offer each one several different kinds of work but just get the damned door nailed shut once and for all.
