The rule in effect is rather narrow and doesn’t actually ban home manufacturing. All the elements of a kit are still accessible and legal.
The only difference is that all the parts to finish the controlled part can’t be sold together. So like you could by the 80% from one shop online and the jig from a different shop online. All the other parts wouldn’t be affected in general, maybe an issue if sold with the 80%. And there are also other ways to do home manufacturing that would be completely unaffected but the rule.
Also the case isn’t done. The order is a temporary stay where the court is asking the ATF lawyers to explain things.
But I want to be outraged! /s
Shame on those Republican-appointed Justices who demand heightened security for themselves while they turn our elementary and high schools into killing grounds.
God damn thats stupid. An 80% is just a chunk of metal and the ATF does not have the power to legislate.
Are you one of those crackpots who thinks Congress can’t delegate authority to executive agencies to make regulations?

Nice name calling. Did daddy come up with that for you?

Its congress’s job to make decisions. Its important that we have elected officials making the rules, not just some guy in a suit.
If you think any one person is capable of fully comprehending every relevant detail of every important issue in the country, you clearly don’t comprehend even a single one of them. Frequently, the only rational decision is “Delegate to an entity with the time, resources, and expertise to take into consideration the myriad factors at play”.
Then let those people be elected.
