Appeals court says ATF exceeded authority with ghost gun rule
A federal appeals court struck down the Biden administration’s limits on so-called ghost guns, affirming a lower court’s ruling Friday that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) didn’t have proper authority to change its rules.
The ATF rule change specified the definitions of “firearm” and other terms in order to regulate the production and distribution of gun parts and kits that could be easily assembled by a consumer at home, avoiding regulation and requirements for serial numbers.
Judge Kurt Engelhardt led the 5th Circuit in a unanimous decision throwing out the ATF rule.
