SCOTUS just ruled against the National Marine Fisheries Service, gutting Chevron deference in the process.  

Chevron was the judicial doctrine that empowered bureaucratic agencies to create new rules with the force of law, just by identifying then reinterpreting "ambiguities" in the law as written.

What does Arfcom think about this?  With this judicial doctrine thrown in the trash, do Mr. & Mrs. John Q Gunowner get a little bit of a breather from ATF overreach?

I have no doubt the ATF will continue to "clarify ambiguities" with new, arbitrary rules.  But at least now it'll be possible to vigorously debate the merit of their interpretation of an "ambiguity."

It's an incredible day I never thought we'd see.  To my notion, it almost feels too incredible.  I guess I'm kind of waiting on the other shoe to drop, and we find out there's an easy work-around that allows the administrative state to continue its shenanigans unabated.

Will be spamming refresh on the Four Boxes podcast today for certain.

Wow, that's a huge deal! The Chevron deference doctrine has been a thorn in the side of many for a long time. I think this ruling is a win for gun owners, at least in the sense that it'll be harder for the ATF to just make up new rules without being challenged. Of course, the ATF will still try to push the boundaries, but now there's a better chance of pushing back against their overreach.

Still waiting on Florida to streamline their fishing regulations.  Most screwed up state on earth when it comes to over regulation.

It won't necessarily stop the AFT from making new rules. It does mean that when challenged, courts are no longer deferring to the agency and their interpretation of statutes and are obligated to interpret the law.
