Today, Mountain States Legal Foundation filed a case against the ATF over its Final Rule regulating the self-manufacture of firearms and inoperable weapon parts. Representing Mike Andren, Jennifer VanDerStok, and Tactical Machining, LLC, we seek to block the implementation and enforcement of a new regulation that redefines the statutorily defined term “firearm.” We argue that the ATF’s rule wrongly defines many inert objects as firearms, imposing severe regulatory burdens that will have a chilling effect on the practice of firearm self-manufacture, and exceeds the rule-making authority of the executive branch.
On June 30, in a flurry of activity to close the term, the Supreme Court granted petitions in four Second Amendment cases, and immediately sent them back to lower courts, with instructions to follow the recent landmark gun rights decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v.

Bruen made it clear that Second Amendment cases must be judged purely by the constitutional text as informed by history, and that courts must place self-defense rights on the same level as other Bill of Rights guarantees.
