VanDerStok V. Garland
''Bondi v. VanDerStok'', 604 U.S. ____ (2025), is a United States Supreme Court case regarding the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) 2021 regulations revising its interpretation of the Gun Control Act of 1968's use of the terms "firearm", "firearm frame", and "receiver" to cover "ghost gun" kits of weapon parts. In a 7–2 decision, the Supreme Court held that because facial challenges against regulations require all applications to be inconsistent with the underlying statute, the ATF's regulations could not be struck down under this standard. History In August 2022, Jennifer VanDerStok, Tactical Machining, the Mountain States Legal Foundation, and the Firearms Policy Coalition sued in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas to block enforcement of the Gun Control Act on homemade firearms (also known as "ghost guns") made from a weapon parts kit. Between September 2022 and January 2023, Blackhawk Manufacturing Group, Defense Distributed, the Second ...

Injunction
An injunction is an equitable remedy in the form of a special court order compelling a party to do or refrain from doing certain acts. It was developed by the English courts of equity but its origins go back to Roman law and the equitable remedy of the "interdict". "When a court employs the extraordinary remedy of injunction, it directs the conduct of a party, and does so with the backing of its full coercive powers."'' Nken v. Holder''556 U.S. 418, 428 (2009) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). A party that fails to comply with an injunction faces criminal or civil penalties, including possible monetary sanctions and even imprisonment. They can also be charged with contempt of court. Rationale The injunction is an equitable remedy that was created by the English courts of equity. Like other equitable remedies, it has traditionally been given when a wrong cannot be effectively remedied by an award of money damages. (The doctrine that reflects this is the req ...

The user removes the transport safety before throwing, and once the grenade leaves the hand the arming safety gets released, allowing the striker to trigger a Percussion cap, primer that ignites a fuze (sometimes called the delay element), which burns down to the detonator and explodes the main charge.
