If you’ve followed the news over the last decade and our federal government’s actions, the trend is clear. The walls are closing in around us and our liberties and freedoms are being sucked dry regardless of our opinion.

Right now, patriots and 2nd amendment supporters are cheering the fact that the ATF recalled their proposed ban on green tip M855 AR-15 ammunition. However, I came across a VERY interesting article this morning about a Supreme Court Ruling which maybe directly linked to the reason the ATF stopped their pursuit of the ban. Is the reason they recalled the ban purely due to the public response? Or is it because they got a Supreme court “green light” to ban the ammunition at some point in the future without public notification?
Per The Hill:
“Regulators won a big victory at the Supreme Court on Monday as the justices endorsed expansive powers for changing the interpretation of federal rules.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that federal agencies do not have to follow procedures for notifying the public and collecting comment when changing the interpretations of rules, effectively

removing steps from the process that can take months and sometimes years to complete.”
“The decision contradicts the D.C. Circuit Court’s Paralyzed Veterans

doctrine, which holds that an agency must use the APA’s notice-and-comment procedures when it wishes to issue a new interpretation of a regulation that deviates significantly from one previously adopted.”
“Justice Samuel Alito said the Paralyzed Doctrine likely stemmed from fear that federal agencies were becoming too powerful

and concerns that Congress was affording them too much lawmaking authority.”
“We can expect the current administration to use this ruling to back up

its authority to pass new or change existing precedents,” he said.”
Per the official ruling documentation syllabus:
