ATF Says Brace Rule Case Is Moot, Warns Some Braced Pistols Still Face NFA Enforcement - Ammoland.com
In a blunt court filing from Monday, March 16, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) urged a federal judge to dismiss a high-profile challenge to its now-defunct pistol stabilizing brace rule, arguing the case has become completely moot. At the same time, the agency made clear it has no intention of abandoning enforcement against certain braced pistols under the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Gun Control Act (GCA).
The 6-page reply brief, filed in State of Texas et al. v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives et al., marks the latest twist in a legal saga that began three years ago. The plaintiffs, led by the State of Texas and joined by Gun Owners of America (GOA) and several Texas citizens, had sued to block the ATF’s January 31, 2023, “Factoring Criteria for Firearms With Attached ‘Stabilizing Braces’” rule (88 Fed. Reg. 6478). That rule used a complex points-based system to reclassify many popular braced pistols as short-barreled rifles (SBRs), subjecting owners to NFA registration, a $200 tax stamp, and potential felony charges for non-compliance.

SAF Challenges Warrantless Searches of Gun Dealers in Pennsylvania Supreme Court Case - Ammoland.com
The Second Amendment Foundation and its co-plaintiffs are back before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in Schmidt v. Paris, pressing their challenge to a state regulatory scheme that forces firearms dealers to surrender basic constitutional protections to obtain and keep a Pennsylvania license to sell firearms.
At issue is a Pennsylvania State Police regulation, 37 Pa. Code § 33.116, and a Montgomery County policy tied to it. SAF says the scheme requires dealers to submit to warrantless inspections and, in practice, exposes them to detention, questioning, document demands, and potential license consequences for refusing to cooperate. SAF is joined by Shot Tec and private citizen Grant Schmidt, the same plaintiffs named in the original challenge filed in 2023.
In the new filing, SAF argues Pennsylvania law never authorized the State Police to create this kind of warrantless-search regime in the first place. The brief argues the Uniform Firearms Act contains no legislative grant for such inspections and argues that Section 33.116 cannot lawfully create powers the General Assembly never delegated.

Federal Judge Expands Post Office Carry Injunction to Cover Future SAF & FPC Members - Ammoland.com
The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) secured a significant expansion of its recent federal court victory over the U.S. Postal Service’s firearm carry ban, with a judge clarifying that the injunction now applies not only to current members but also to individuals who join the organization in the future.
The development marks another setback for the federal government, which had already failed in its effort to pause the ruling while the case moves through the appeals process. Now that the court has confirmed that the injunction applies to a growing class of FPC and SAF members, the case’s practical impact has widened considerably.
At the center of the dispute is the federal prohibition on carrying firearms in post offices under 18 U.S.C. § 930(a), along with related U.S. Postal Service regulations. Plaintiffs successfully argued that the ban is unconstitutional as applied to its members under the framework established by the U.S. Supreme Court in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. That decision requires the government to demonstrate that modern firearm restrictions are consistent with the nation’s historical tradition of gun regulation.
