United States First Circuit
Sig Sauer, Inc. v. Brandon, 15-2230
In a gun manufacturer's challenge to the District Court's decision to uphold a ruling by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) that a gun plaintiff seeks to market includes a 'silencer' under the National Firearms Act (NFA), 26 U.S.C. sections 5801 et seq., the District Court's decision is affirmed where there is a sufficiently reasoned basis in the administrative record for ATF's classification of this part as one that is 'intended only for use' in assembling or fabricating a silencer.
