Get in the fight, while you still can... Bump Stock Case Will Determine the Future of AR-15sTime is running out. On March 26, if the courts have failed to act, hundreds of thousands of gun owners will have to dispose of their bump stocks or else risk becoming felons. And in delaying the destruction of their bump stocks until the courts rule, decent Americans could face a $250,000 fine and ten years in federal prison. But Gun Owners of America has a strategy to prevent this from happening. As you know, GOA is challenging these ATF regulations in federal court in Western Michigan, which is in the Sixth Circuit. gunowners.org/alert22119/

There is only one group pushing this fight forward, get in the fight against this govt overreach. GOA gets its day in court on bump stocksWritten by Erich Pratt Published: 07 March 2019 GOA to Judge: ATF Regs Threaten AR-15s! On Wednesday, I left the federal district court in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where Gun Owners of America delivered its oral arguments in opposition to the ATF’s bump stock ban. As you know, GOA is suing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) over its illegal ban on bump stocks. This ban is so poorly written that it threatens the legality of AR-15s and other constitutionally-protected firearms. GOA’s attorney Rob Olson did a fantastic job representing gun owners in court. And he repeatedly hammered the ATF for exceeding its authority and for capriciously reversing itself in banning firearms-related items that were once legal to own. Olson also made it clear that hundreds of thousands of innocent bump stock owners are now in danger of becoming felons after March 26. So given this looming deadline, GOA is requesting an injunction from the judge, which would stop ATF from enforcing the ban when the turn-in period ends. Judge Appears Wary of ATF Overreach During oral arguments, Olson had to vacillate between fine points of legal doctrine to countering the government’s talking points that could have come from Moms Demand Action. gunowners.org/alert3719/
