The judge who made this ruling is black. And he was a Klinton appointee.
There’s a copy of the complete ruling here:

If you have a braced pistol you might want to keep a copy handy in case Barney Fife decides to hassle you. My LGS has an indoor range and about weekly it changes whether they’ll allow braces on it because the ATF has specifically directed them to report anyone shooting a braced pistol.

III. Conclusion and Preliminary Injunction
For the reasons explained, the court concludes that the NRA has associational standing to sue on behalf of its members and has met its burden of establishing each of the four requirements for a preliminary injunction. The court, therefore, grants the NRA’s Motion (Doc. 8) and request for a preliminary injunction, and it enjoins the ATF; Steven Dettelbach, in his official capacity as the Director of the ATF; the United States Department of Justice; and Merrick Garland, in his official capacity as the United States Attorney General from enforcing the Final Rule against the NRA’s members pending the final resolution of this action on the merits. In accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d), this preliminary injunction order enjoins and applies with equal force to Defendants’ “officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys,” and “other persons who are in active concert or participation with anyone described in Rule 65(d)(2)(A) or (B),” and Defendants shall provide notice to all such persons of this preliminary injunction order.
It is so ordered this 29th day of March, 2024.
