 Gun owners of America to File Suit Against Arbitrary ATF Bump Stock Ban
 Springfield, VA Gun Owners of America (GOA) and its Foundation (GOF) will be filing suit
 against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) and the Department
 of Justice to seek an injunction protecting gun owners from their illegal prohibition of
 bump stocks.
 Erich Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America said, "As written, this case has
 important implications for gun owners since, in the coming days, an estimated half a
 million bump stock owners will have the difficult decision of either destroying or
 surrendering their valuable property or else risk felony prosecution.
 ATFs claim that it can rewrite Congressional law cannot pass legal muster. Agencies are
 not free to rewrite laws under the guise of 'interpretation' of a statute, especially where
 e law's meaning is clear.
 "The new ATF regulations would arbitrarily redefine bump stocks as 'machineguns and,
 down the road, could implicate the right to own AR-15's and many other lawfully owned
 semi-automatic firearms," Pratt continued. "ATF's new bump stock regulation clearly
 violates federal law, as bump stocks do not qualify as machineguns under the federal
 statute."

 owners, please see here
 Erich Pratt, or another GOA spokesmen, is available for interviews. Gun Owners of America
