KGIII Matchup
Gina Raimondo (DOC)
vs.
Steven Dettelbach (ATF)
Regulate them all?! Gina Raimondo’s Department of Commerce overregulated American industries, like fisheries and charter boat captains. In doing so, not only did her agency usurp the role of Congress by passing new “legislation” every year, but her surveillance regimes regularly violated the Fourth Amendment rights of hard-working Americans in dozens of industries. Commerce always gives the same answer to the question of which industries should be heavily regulated: “All of them!” Then again, NCLA will always have a soft spot in our hearts for Raimondo, because her agency’s actions led to our victory in Relentless v. DOC, overturning Chevron deference last June.
Surprise, you’re a felon! The ATF didn’t bother to consult Congress when it rewrote the definition of “machine gun” to include bump stocks, which are fixed appliances that do not change any of the mechanical components of the gun to which they are attached. By rewriting the statute, ATF turned more than half a million law-abiding Americans into felons, subject to a 10-year prison sentence just for owning a device that was legal when purchased and which Congress has never voted to outlaw. Fortunately, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed with NCLA and banished the bump stock ban!
