A federal court Tuesday blocked a rule issued by the Biden administration targeting so-called “ghost guns” on constitutional grounds.
Chief United States District Judge Reed O’Connor of the Northern District of Texas, a George W.

In the opinion, O’Connor said the rule deprived people seeking to manufacture their own firearms of due process and also unconstitutionally prohibited people from acquiring the means to manufacture firearms on their own.

Very good ruling.
Too soon to celebrate.
Something Smells Like;

WINNING!
A good ruling, but I don’t care what leftist judges rule. I ignore them and mock them.
I would never recommend people make their own firearms. If the government doesn’t know who has them, they can’t control them.
“the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed” (!)
Feel good story of the day.
