BREAKING: DOJ Now Has Until October 12 — ATF’s NFA Guidance Could Come First

The video reports that Judge James Wesley Hendricks granted the Department of Justice a 10-day extension, moving its response deadline on the plaintiff states’ clarification motion to October 12, 2026. DOJ said the extension is needed partly because the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is finalizing public guidance on how the National Firearms Act injunction should operate in practice. The unresolved issues include who is protected, whether protection applies statewide, what dealers must do, how suppressor and short-barreled firearm transactions should be processed, and whether ATF must identify protected customers. The presenter emphasizes that no new procedure or statewide protection exists yet, and viewers should wait for the written guidance and court filing before acting.
