He is right about one thing, a ton of litigation will come out of this, so some lawyers will be very happy and rich. It will set the precedence as a result in many case for years to come, that's good and bad, depends which side you on. I just can't wait to see what will clarify in the firearms department, the era of ATF is over and I for one am very glad. This will stop this "rouge" agency to create laws that were politically motivated and unconstitutional. This is one area where we all will benefit from Chevron being gone. No one will miss ya BTW...lol
The defendants will be the administrative state. They can get a taste of their own medicine. The punishment is the process.

The goal is to reduce headcount or eliminate payroll at these agencies.
ATF and EPA are two of the worst offenders.

Why hate the ATF?

Arbitrary rule changes. Definition changes. Things that they have held as legal for years can become illegal with a change of interpretation of existing legislation.
With how political the regulation of guns is, the broad authority to easily change the rules without underlying change in the legislation results in a highly politicized agency.

One blatant example would be treating ar15 lower receiver as firearm (ATF rules).
According to the US Code of Federal Regulations (aka the law), a firearm frame or receiver is defined as: “That part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism, and which is usually threaded at its forward portion to receive the barrel.” which lower receiver ain't. Together with upper receiver (where the barrel goes) it is a firearm, but lower by itself it's not. A lot of people went to jail for selling a part of the gun which ATF capriciously (not legally) classified as a firearm. The list is long...

I'm surprised ATF has mandated AR15 name change to Evil Black Rifle
