Evidence

ATF says it is "proposing to formally rescind" the 2023 stabilizing-brace rule; it adds that courts have enjoined, stayed, or vacated it.

The agency is actively moving to undo the brace rule, which is a concrete sign the target policy has been reversed in practice, though not yet finalized.

The proposed rule would amend DOJ regulations on firearms with attached stabilizing braces and remove the 2023 paragraphs defining shoulder-fired rifles.

The formal NPRM shows the brace rule entered a rescission process in May 2026, reinforcing that the prior ATF approach is being rolled back.

Hudson did materially push back against the ATF stabilizing-brace rule, including leading a Congressional Review Act resolution aimed at blocking it and publicly framing the rule as threatening law-abiding gun owners and disabled veterans. The promised policy outcome has not been fully completed because the 2026 ATF action is a proposed rescission, not a finalized repeal, though courts have already enjoined, stayed, or vacated the rule and ATF is formally moving to undo it while Hudson remains in federal office. That supports partial credit in the same-term context rather than full delivery.
