As we explained in the case filings, braced pistols are not \u2018short-barreled rifles\u2019. But either way, they are unquestionably arms protected under the Second Amendment. We are thrilled to have secured this important win for liberty and excited to take on even more unconstitutional laws so you can exercise your rights when, where, and how you choose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government is finally retreating from the Biden Administration&#8217;s patently unlawful effort to turn millions of peaceable people into felons by decree,\u201d said FPC Action Foundation President Cody J. Wisniewski, an attorney for the challengers. \u201cThis horrible rule was a perversion of our system of limited government, so we\u2019re glad to see this case resolved in favor of liberty and the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a clear-cut victory and monumental step in preserving gun rights for future generations and safeguarding the firearms ecosystem from regulatory overreach,\u201d said David Farrell, a Maxim Defense vice president. \u201cThis important achievement is the result of tireless dedication from the entire litigation team, not to mention the many supporters who have stood with us every single day.
