Under the auspices of West Virginia v. EPA really - by the principle of separation of powers they would have to prove “clear congressional authorization” for the authority they claim. They can't, and they won't. They lose. In this particular situation "authorization" goes all the way up past Congress to the bill of rights, which does not grant them squat for authority. Whatever geniuses who cooked this regulatory rampage up may have a long time to regret it, like what happened with Roe v. Wade. Thought they had total cover with a sympathetic regime in power, got greedy, reached too far for too much and lost it all. This all has the same kind of vibe to it. More than just restrictions about frames & braces are liable to get unraveled here. Wouldn't break my heart a bit to do so. It's only been what, the past 14-15 years that serious progress has been made against infringements on bearing arms that have bedeviled citizens across multiple jurisdictions for decades, for in excess of a century in some places. The Big Four I call them, District of Columbia v. Heller - McDonald v. City of Chicago - New York State Rifle & Pistol Co. v. Bruen - West Virginia v. EPA - may there one day soon be a Big Five. Frustrating that moves like these weren't done sooner, a LOT sooner. But considering what is going on now in the nation and in the world, the timing couldn't be more fortuitous.
