Firearms Policy Coalition Loses Bid To Block The Pistol Brace Rule

Judge Reed O’Connor, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) pistol brace rule is Constitutional. 

The federal lawsuit is the first on pistol stabilizing devices to be decided. The case, Mock v. Garland, was brought by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) in the Northern District of Texas. FPC asked the Judge to issue a preliminary injunction against the new rule. The Judge denied the pleas of the plaintiffs.
