President Trump\u2019s signature second-term legislative agenda is hitting the courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His \u201cbig, beautiful bill\u201d is a boon for Second Amendment groups that say it aids their quest to strike down a 91-year-old gun law requiring many Americans to register their firearms. Meanwhile, a judge already intervened to block one provision of the massive package, protecting Planned Parenthood from cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has shifted the Trump administration\u2019s legal sagas from a tug-of-war between the judiciary and the executive to one involving the legislature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The package\u2019s top lines include key campaign promises such as tax breaks for overtime pay and tips and additional funding for immigration enforcement. But packed into the 887-page law is a key change for gun owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It zeroes the $200 tax the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) has imposed on the manufacturing and transfer of firearm silencers, short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The law has long been upheld under Congress\u2019s taxing authority. So, gun rights groups wasted no time heading to court after Trump signed the bill on Independence Day, believing it dissolved the NFA\u2019s constitutional foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As The National Rifle Association put it, the megabill is the \u201cbiggest blow\u201d yet to the NFA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gun industry wants a judge to end the NFA\u2019s requirements, such as buyers providing fingerprints and passing a background check, for the now-untaxed firearms. Republicans had wanted to do so in the bill itself, but the Senate parliamentarian ruled reconciliation rules didn\u2019t permit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to dismantle one of the most abusive federal gun control laws on the books,\u201d Erich Pratt, senior vice president at Gun Owners of America, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the tax struck down by Congress, the rest of the NFA is standing on air. We\u2019re ready to take this fight to the courts and finally end the federal registry once and for all,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The groups filed their lawsuit in the San Angelo division of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, where it was guaranteed to be assigned to U.S. District Judge Wes Hendrix, one of Trump\u2019s appointees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, a judge Monday issued the first known injunction against a provision of the Republicans\u2019 reconciliation package, temporarily blocking Medicaid funding cuts to Planned Parenthood\u2019s health centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani\u2019s lightning-fast ruling \u2014 issued without explanation and before the government responded \u2014 sparked criticism from conservatives who see it as the latest instance of judges abusing their authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have the best judicial system in the world, but it\u2019s run by fallible, mortal humans. People make mistakes,\u201d Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) wrote on the social platform X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut unless I\u2019m missing something here, this wasn\u2019t an honest mistake. This was a pretty egregious judicial usurpation of legislative power,\u201d he continued, suggesting the House could try to impeach the judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talwani\u2019s ruling is temporary; the appointee of former President Obama is set to hold a July 21 hearing and then decide on whether to issue a longer injunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump called the law, signed July 4, a \u201ctriumph of democracy on the birthday of democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It extends tax cuts he signed into law in 2017, eliminates some taxes on tipped wages and increases the state and local tax deduction cap, in addition to cutting green energy incentives and providing $150 billion increases in immigration enforcement funding and defense spending each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senate passed the bill 51-50, following a tiebreaking vote from Vice President Vance, while the House voted 218-214 in favor of the legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A conservative commentator on Tuesday asked the president\u2019s Cabinet whether it planned to challenge the \u201crogue judge\u201d who ruled for Planned Parenthood and against a provision of the law. Attorney General Pam Bondi said \u201cabsolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re on it,\u201d Bondi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
