Evidence

Cornyn and 29 Senate Republicans sent ATF a letter urging it to "identify and rescind" Biden-era firearms regulations, including the "pistol brace rule" and the so-called "ghost gun" rule, and said these "must be immediately rescinded."

Direct, documented advocacy by Cornyn for undoing both the pistol brace and ghost gun rules.

ATF says it is "proposing to formally rescind" the 2023 stabilizing-brace rule, and lists only the brace rule in this repeal action; the page is updated May 8, 2026.

As of the latest official ATF update, brace-rule rescission is underway, but the ghost-gun rule is not included in this repeal action.

Assessments

partial later_term A for effort

Cornyn directly supported undoing both Biden-era firearms rules by joining a February 20, 2025 Senate Republican letter urging ATF to rescind the pistol brace rule and ghost-gun rule. However, the documented policy movement only shows ATF proposing rescission of the 2023 stabilizing-brace rule as of May 8, 2026; the ghost-gun rule was not included in that repeal action. Because one of the two promised targets has advanced toward repeal and Cornyn materially advocated for both while in federal office, this is partial delivery rather than full delivery.
