A federal appeals court has blasted the Biden administration's effort to ban a highly popular firearm and potentially turn 20 million owners into felons overnight.

In the latest ruling against the overreach by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, judges of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the administration didn’t follow federal rules in regulating AR-style pistols.The court sent it back to a lower court which could set the ATF regulation aside nationally. It was the latest in a string of court rulings against Biden administration gun control efforts.

Several other judges in different circuits have made similar decisions, blocking enforcement of the Biden rule. An estimated 3 million to 20 million are in use, and making the changes could cost owners a total of some $2 billion over 10 years, said the court.
