A coalition of 24 states filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration on Thursday over a recent rule that subjects pistols equipped with stabilizing braces to federal regulation.
The legal challenge, led by West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, argues that the new rule represents an abrupt reversal of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) longstanding position on stabilizing braces and is a violation of the statutory language and history of the National Firearms Act (NFA) and the Gun Control Act (GCA).
