Second Amendment rights advocates are cautiously optimistic after the Fifth Circuit Court granted what appears to be a limited injunction against a rule outlawing pistol stabilizing braces on May 23.

The court specified its order was for the parties in Mock v. Garland, the lawsuit filed by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), William Mock, Christopher Lewis, Maxim Defense Industries, LLC, against Attorney General Merrick Garland, U.S. Department of Justice, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and ATF Director Stephen Dettelbach.
