Multiple federal courts have found that the 2023 rule \u2013 as codified in 27 CFR 478.11 and 479.11 \u2013 violated the Administrative Procedure Act, and the rule has been enjoined, stayed, or vacated across numerous jurisdictions. This proposal removes regulatory language that has been largely unenforceable, restoring the regulatory definitions to be consistent with the underlying statutory definitions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>27P:\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"normaltextrun\"><strong>Revising\u00a0Regs\u00a0Defining\u00a0\u201cEngaged in the\u00a0Business\u201d\u00a0as a\u00a0Dealer in\u00a0Firearms\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><strong>&#8211; NPRM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ATF is revising regulatory changes it made to the definition of the \u2018engaged in the business\u2019 of dealing in firearms.

Cargill<\/em>\u00a0(2024), which held that semiautomatic rifles equipped with bump stocks do not satisfy the statutory definition of &#8220;machine gun&#8221; under the National Firearms Act.
