Oh I agree with you completely @HireHand. If I had any firearms (wink wink) there would be no way in hell that I would give them up. My 'fight' is only against those whose '. . . shall not infringe' stance centers on their idea that everyone should be able to own anything, for use anywhere, anytime. Well screw that! There is no way I want my (usualy drunk or high) 'gang banger' neighbor to have a box of fragmentation grenades or his own HBMG M2 .50 cal.
I've lived in areas (Compton, CA, Lenox, CA, N. Las Vegas, NV) where non-registered NFA items were fairly common in the 'hood'. In fact in N. Las Vegas, my kids and I had to sleep on the floor UNDER our beds (for safety) during the whole three years we lived there. No thanks, been there, done that!

It's almost as if criminals don't care about laws.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Can you give us a breakdown of the pistol brace rule changes from its inception?
Nope I can't because I haven't followed the arm-brace debate that closely. From what little I have read the ATF seems to keep rewording their rules to address the ever changing work-a-rounds that some people keep trying to come up with in order to circumnavigate the ATF rulings that allow arm-braced SBR's to be used without needing to be registered by those that are legitimately handicapped.
It's actually no different than a non-handicapped person parking in a handicapped space, then arguing with the cop writing the citation that it's not their fault they parked there, that it's the cops fault, or the police departments' fault, or the governments fault, or it's unfair, or it's discriminatory, or it's not an actual 'law' but just a ruling (as if it's up to you whether you want to follow it or not).
Personally I don't see a legitimate reason or need to register SBR's or SBS's anyway. Maybe one time when everyone wore trench-coats which allowed someone like a bank robber to carry one undetected into a bank, but these days . . . just more .gov BS 🤣🤣

So you admit you're speaking out of ignorance when you blame gun owners?

Nope. Again, read what has transpired.

lol.... these analogies are getting even more dumb.

So I'm confused as to why you're arguing like you are and blaming gun owners? Basically you're just upset that someone is getting away with something?

"So I'm confused as to why you're arguing like you are blaming gun owners? Basically you're just upset that someone is getting away with something?"

That SOME gun owners are trying to circumnavigate arm-brace laws rulings is not what bothers me, for it's no skin off my nose that they do. What does bother me is that instead of trying to change the rulings to benefit everyone, they just sneak around cheating the system, then blame everyone else when they get caught - it's their lack of personal accountability that really torques me because I was raised to take responsibility for my actions and NEVER make excuses for my failures or when I get caught. I was also raised to follow the laws (rulings) to the best of my ability regardless whether I agreed with them or not (you can't just pick 'n choose which laws you want to follow).

The second thing that bothers me about this is that, being disabled myself, it angers me that the exceptions to the rules for not having to register their SBR's, that was put in place for legitimately handicapped shooters, is being violated by non-handicapped SBR owners. I get just as angry when I know that a non-handicapped person has taken-up a handicap parking space because they're too fkn lazy to walk from a parking spot that's located further out. I don't see any difference (in principle) between violating the handicap 'exemption' and violating handicap parking.

My main concern though is that if this 'exception' meant for the handicap gets abused enough by those that are not entitled to it, then we could very well lose that 'privilege', keeping in mind that 'they' are ALWAYS watching for ways to disarm us by any means possible.
