Breaking: ATF Changes Their Mind On Pistol Braces AGAIN

[O4L]

I didn’t see any requirement to give money to join. FPC is a nonprofit. As far as I know all you have to do is register on their site to be a member. After registering I decided to give them monthly contributions, not because I need to for any reason, I just really like what they’re doing. I don’t own any pistol braces (yet), but I can’t resist my desire to “stick it to the man.”

I did click around and finally find where to join for free. Can't wait to learn the secret handshake and get my decoder ring.

Los Vegas.

I don't think the Las Vegas shooter used a brace. He did have a rifle with a bump stock.

No one was ever "exempt". They were just invented to assist certain disabled people with shooting.

This rule does not affect “stabilizing braces” that are objectively designed and intended as a “stabilizing brace” for use by individuals with disabilities, and not for shouldering the weapon as a rifle. Such stabilizing braces are designed to conform to the arm and not as a buttstock. This rule is effective on January 31, 2023, the date it was published in the Federal Register. If the firearm with the “stabilizing brace” is a short-barreled rifle, affected person have 120 days from the date of publication to register the firearm tax-free, which is May 31, 2023.

Los Vegas.

Los Vegas concert shooting? If so it was a bump stock. Not an arm brace. Unless there was another shooting I was not aware of.

This was one way to update their database for all of you evil black gun owners.

That's my thought all along. Just another way to get a registry of guns that they don't have yet. They don't care about a brace or a stock. A gun is no more or less safe simply because it had it's number registered and a stamp assigned . But know they have a good start at finding it when that day comes.

Have you seen the "objective criteria" worksheet? It's a nightmare. And it still doesn't exempt anyone specifically. If your brace is "objectively" determined to turn your pistol into an SBR, you're affected whether you're disabled or not. There's also other criteria they factor in like the overall length and weight of the firearm.

No one is exempt from the stupidity of the bureaucrats at the ATF.

The objective criteria work sheet. It is pretty much a resurrection of the Bill Clinton Assault Weapon ban and what it stated. The weight of the pistol and certain features, this all is a copy and past from the 94 to 2004 criteria. This is some progressive liberal POS Democrats wet dream. This is democrat ATF fiat overreach that can’t pass a normal congressional vote.

More fun with ATF shenanigans and brace rule changes ...

I took the opportunity to change four of my braced pistols to Short barrel rifles.

I believe the ATF dropped that worksheet from the final rule.

ATF does not have the authority to make laws. If there is not law written and approved through Congress How can a person be convicted for this. Some of your statements sound like a democrat or are you ATF?

You’d probably win in the end, but you’d probably go broke, before it was all over.
