<p>The ATF can no longer enforce its unfinished-gun parts ban against one of the foremost makers of homemade firearm kits.</p> <p>Judge Reed O'Connor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, a George W. Bush appointee, issued a preliminary injunction on Thursday extending protections against the government's new regulations on homemade gun parts to Defense Distributed. The ATF can no longer implement its rule in regard to the company or its customers. The judge found those rules, proposed at the request of President Joe Biden are likely unconstitutional and cause an undue burden on the parts maker.</p> <p>Judge O'Connor wrote in VanDerStok v. Garland that "[t]he Government's likely ultra vires enforcement efforts upset decades of ATF regulatory precedent against a public that has relied on that historic posture" and "the liberty interests of law-abiding citizens wishing to engage in historically lawful conduct (dealing in now-regulated parts), which Defense Distributed shares, outweighs the Government's competing interest in preventing prohibited persons from unlawfully possessing firearms."</p><p><a href='https://thereload.com/federal-judge-expands-block-on-biden-ghost-gun-ban/' class='out'>https://thereload.com/federal-judge-expands-block-on-biden-ghost-gun-ban/</a></p>
