Rep. Clyde to use Congressional Review Act to block gun splint rule

Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) is expected to introduce a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution this week in an effort to block the ATF’s AR gun stabilizer brace rule.

On January 14, Breitbart News reported that the ARC had provided Congress with a means to block the ATF’s latest rule.

The CRA was set up in the 1990s as part of President Newt Gingrich’s ‘Contract with America’ (right). It grants Congress the ability to review a major rule and vote to block the rule’s implementation or effectiveness.

The United States Government Accountability Office explains the ARC on its site. “The CRA allows Congress to review ‘major’ rules enacted by federal agencies before the rules go into effect,” it says. “Congress can also disapprove of new rules, causing the rules to have no force or effect.”

Breitbart News published an exclusive interview with Rep. Clyde on Feb. 10 in which he stated his intention to use the SHORT Act and the CRA to block the rule.

Clyde said he would “introduce a resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Overhaul Act to undo the illegal excesses of the Biden administration.”

On Monday, FOX News pointed out that Clyde’s introduction of an ARC resolution is imminent.

Clyde said, “Congress must act quickly to block the ATF’s unconstitutional gun strap rule because this misguided measure transforms millions of law-abiding gun owners, including many disabled veterans, into criminals for the mere possession of legal firearms with stabilizing straps.”

Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) stands shoulder to shoulder with Clyde in attempts to block the rule.

Hudson said, “This rule jeopardizes the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners and disabled veterans. I am proud to lead the fight to block the ATF’s unconstitutional gun splint rule.
