Biden's Gun Control Backfires After Fifth Circuit Ruling: Ghost Guns Legal Once More

The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit for the Northern District of Texas ruled in favor of Defense Distributed and other companies that make and distribute "ghost guns" and denied the Federal Government a "stay" in the case VanDerStok v. Garland.

This ruling allows Defense Distributed, Blackhawk Manufacturing Group (incorporated, doing business as 80 Percent Arms), Second Amendment Foundation (incorporated; Not An LLC, doing business as JSD Supply), and Polymer80 the ability to continue selling unfinished gun parts or 80% receivers legally -- a significant blow to President Biden's war on ghost guns.

Previously, US District Judge Reed O'Connor granted a motion for summary judgment against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) because the agency exceeded its authority. This judgment vacated the entire rule nationwide.

he Federal Government's response to that judgment was to request a stay, essentially a continuance of the status quo until the case ends. Today's decision denied that stay, with the court stating:

"Because the ATF has not demonstrated a strong likelihood of success on the merits, nor irreparable harm in the absence of a stay, we DENY the government's request to stay the vacatur of the two challenged portions of the Rule."

This is the third time the 5th Circuit has nullified an executive order by President Biden to usher in gun control. Notable cases, such as GOA v. Garland, Mock v. Garland and Cargill v. Garland, have stopped the enforcement of Biden's "Frame or Receiver" rule.

Defense Distributed had this to say about the favorable ruling:

"The 5th Circuit knows the ATF will not succeed on the merits. This rule was never the result of the popular will, but was instead a cynical ploy to launder Bloomberg gun control priorities through the APA rulemaking process as a reward for gun controllers supporting the Biden campaign in 2020."

Thank God Garland isn’t on the SCOTUS bench.

Yeah, cuz what could possibly go wrong with having a lot of ghost guns in the hands of criminals out on the streets of Henderson, NV?

I'm not only pleased at the win, but I'm happy about the relative speed at which the gov was slapped down. Usually it takes too long to free ourselves again.

It might be as bad as the federal government allowing straw purchases of guns. How did that work out?

The best thing Sen. McConnell ever did was to prevent that from happening.

Is it illegal to intentionally inflict bodily harm on another human being?
Is it illegal to rob someone or threaten him with great bodily harm?

Is it legal to defend yourself against these actions?

Did you think the criminals would obey any anti-gun law?

You are a special kind of stupid.

Why would one need a ghost gun when they can just buy one at the local gun shop?

All I can think about every time this sack of shit Garland pulls another stunt is when the Dems were acting dismayed that Graham blocked him. "Obama was throwing a bone to the Republicans by picking a 'conservative' and they stuck it up his ass."

Thanks, but no thanks, assholes. Thank your lucky stars that POS isn't a SCJ.

Because it can be cheaper to build your own gun than to buy one from someone who has to make a profit.

There are plenty of people who don't have that skill who will buy their guns from the gun shop.
Or they can buy used guns in private gun sales that rightfully keep the government's nose out of private actions, and used guns are generally less expensive than new ones.
As a matter of interest (or not), a general rule is that used guns are not like most used cars.  A used gun might have been fired less than 100 times, then simply put away.   That means that it is mechanically new, although technically "used."

What part of criminals do not obey laws are you failing to comprehend?

Now answer the questions you were originally asked and tried to sidestep.

You cannot reason with, using logic, a blind and deaf leftist like him.

Well, I feel compelled to keep trying.

I guess that makes ME pretty stupid, as well.
