Rep. Matt Gaetz: 40 Million Law-Abiding Gun Owners Now Facing Criminal Penalties
The Free Press-Tampa ^ | 04/20/2023 | Mike Jenkins

Rep. Matt Gaetz Rep. Matt Gaetz slammed the Biden admin and Democrats on Thursday over a rule requiring gun owners with ‘stabilizing braces’ to register, dispose of, or alter the brace.

On January 13, 2023, the Attorney General signed ATF final rule 2021R-08F, “Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached ‘Stabilizing Braces,’” amending ATF’s regulations to clarify when a rifle is designed, made, and intended to be fired from the shoulder. The final rule was published in the Federal Register on January 31, 2023.

And 35 million of them won’t even know it because they don’t keep up with 2A developments.

The rule change is stupid and the scope of people affected (millions) is well beyond the ability of ATF to process the ATF Form 4 to issue the tax stamps. The correct solution is to abolish the NFA categories for SBR, SBS and AOW. Treat them as standard firearms. The Form 4473 was already processed for those purchases. It will save a ton of time and money to eliminate these categories.

Cloward-Piven comes for the BATFE. Oregon and Washington are backlogged with people purchasing ahead of deadlines.

“The correct solution is to abolish the NFA categories for SBR, SBS and AOW.”

Or just abolish the ATF.

I do not care what the ATF says or demands, like water off a duck’s back.

What’s the deadline? Nobody suing, no judge blocking? Ridiculous.

I would normally say don’t ask don’t tell but with this tyrant in office and trigger happy federal agents they will most likely send in teams to MURDER the uppity serfs that don’t do what they say.

The Broomhandle’ Mauser (a WWII souvenir), had a wooden holster that could attach as a stock. My father had one.

Does that apply to wrist-rockets too?

There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt.

A stabilizing brace makes a firearm illegal? Where in the 2A is that coming from?

They can make up a law from thin air? What happened to the USA?

A stolen election is what happened.

Anti gun pimps and whores abandon logic. They simply look to incrementally infringe on the 2nd Amendment. Look at the ‘68 and ‘86 gun control acts. Did nothing and accomplished nothing except make life more difficult for legal gun owners.

“What happened to the USA?”

The USA is still here. It’s just being held hostage at the moment.
