Washington, DC (June 8, 2023) – The New Civil Liberties Alliance, a nonpartisan, nonprofit civil liberties organization, has filed a brief agreeing that the U.S. Supreme Court should grant the U.S. Solicitor General’s cert petition in the Garland v. Cargill case. That petition asks the Court to hear NCLA’s challenge to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ unilateral bump stock ban. Contrary to the Solicitor General, however, NCLA’s brief urges the Court to affirm the recent en banc decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which held that ATF’s regulatory ban conflicts with the federal statute defining “machineguns.”
