The ATF incorrectly maintains that the Final Rule is merely interpretive, not legislative, and thus not subject to the logical-outgrowth test. The Final Rule affects individual rights, speaks with the force of law, and significantly implicates private interests. Thus, it is legislative in character. Then, because the Final Rule bears almost no resemblance in manner or kind to the Proposed Rule, the Final Rule fails the logical-outgrowth test and violates the APA.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/biden-pistol-brace-ban-blocked-but-are-you-covered-read-to-find-out\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"saf-hails-5th-circuit-opinion-saying-biden-pistol-brace-rule-likely-illegal\" title=\"SAF Hails 5th Circuit Opinion Saying Biden Pistol Brace Rule 'Likely Illegal'\">Biden Pistol Brace Ban Blocked!

As the court noted, the Final Rule was not the logical outgrowth of the original proposed rule, and therefore must be set aside.

Options to comply with the ban included registering it by the deadline per the National Firearms Act, attaching longer barrels, removing the brace and discarding it or permanently altering it, turning in the firearm to the ATF, or destroying the firearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deadline to comply was May 31, 2023. Violators may now face felony charges and the permanent loss of 2A rights as possession of a short-barreled rifle without a tax stamp is prohibited under federal law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, several lawsuits have succeeded in putting a temporary pause on the ban for their respective plaintiffs.
