NCLA Challenges ATF’s Bump Stock Ban in Supreme Court, Defends Gun Rights

The New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) has submitted a brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in the case Garland v. Cargill, urging the court to rule that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) ban on bump stocks is in conflict with the federal definition of “machineguns.” The ATF’s regulatory ban, which was overturned by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the <a href="https://nclalegal.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/5th-Cir-en-banc-opinion.pdf" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Fifth Circuit</a> early last year, contradicted the agency’s previous stance that firearms equipped with bump stocks do not qualify as illegal machine guns. NCLA is looking forward to presenting its case to the Supreme Court Justices in Garland v. Cargill on February 28, advocating on behalf of their client Michael Cargill and numerous other American citizens. The brief was primarily authored by former Texas Solicitor-General Jonathan Mitchell, who will also represent Mr. Cargill in the upcoming oral argument. <a href="https://shootersgazette.com/ncla-challenges-atfs-bump-stock-ban-in-supreme-court-defends-gun-rights-b5a7dff1e110">Read More</a>
