Big Win for NRA in Battle With ATF

The National Rifle Association has scored a big court victory in its fight with the administration over President Joe Biden’s push to target and punish owners of millions of AR-15-style “pistols.”

Late last week, a federal district court in Texas ruled that the gun group’s 4 million members do not have to comply with an order from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to register, modify, or destroy their firearms.

The decision followed other court rulings protecting the 3.7 million members of three other gun groups from the ATF action that abruptly changed the definition of rifles to include the AR pistols, among the most popular firearms in the country. Under the new rules, they will be taxed and registered.

“The NRA will continue to play offense against this unconstitutional rule,” says NRA interim EVP and CEO Andrew Arulanandam. “This is yet another example of the NRA fighting for its members — and protecting the constitutional freedoms in which they believe.”
