A federal appeals court has dealt a legal setback to the Biden administration on guns in a lawsuit challenging tighter regulations on stabilizing braces, an accessory used in several mass shootings
. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily blocked an administration rule from going into effect for the gun owners and groups who filed the lawsuit. The order came shortly before a deadline for people to register them and pay a fee, or remove the stabilizing braces from their weapons. WASHINGTON — — A federal appeals court dealt a legal setback to the Biden administration on guns Tuesday in a lawsuit challenging, an accessory that has been used in several mass shootings in the U.S.
The rule was quickly challenged by gun-rights groups that argued it violated Second Amendment protections by requiring millions of people to alter or register their weapons. They argued the ATF found a decade ago that the braces did not make pistols like short-barreled rifles. At least three million guns with stabilizing braces are in circulation in the U.S., according to the ATF. Other estimates place the number much higher.
