The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case challenging the Biden administration’s rule regulating gun parts kits as firearms. The rule, known as the “Frame or Receiver” rule, was approved by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in 2022. It defines firearm parts kits as “readily convertible to functional weapons” or “functional ‘frames’ or ‘receivers’ of weapons.” The rule was blocked by lower courts, but the justices have kept it in place during the litigation process.
The Supreme Court will now hear the case, Garland v. Vanderstok, on its merits. The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and FPC Action Foundation are challenging the rule. FPC founder and President Brandon Combs said the organization is “looking forward to the end of President Biden’s unconstitutional and abusive rule.”
