I made the mistake of actually reading through the rule. Okay, fast scan but noticed in the “Comments” section ATF disagreed with the VAST MAJORITY of the comments received. There was one State Attorney General calling the rule vague and incomplete and ATF just said, We Disagree. ATF was making this rule come hell or high water. Comments be damned. The only comments they seemed to accept were ones related to how bad their form was to use and comprehend.

Personally I wouldn’t want to strap a pistol to my forearm, but some disabled Americans may need to do that. Oh, forgot to mention ATF said that since they are a Federal Agency, ADA compliance does not apply to them. There are 10 years worth of braces in the public arena. There is no chance in hell AFT knows where even a tiny fraction of them are.

Based on number of comments alone, lawsuits will quickly follow. A number of Constitutional Amendments were cited and simply dismissed by ATF.

Question for ATF, How many times was a pistol with a brace used in a mass shooting? Name One, just One.

The hell it doesn't. But in this particular case, the BATFE is correct. ADA calls for reasonable accessibility to buildings and facilities, not consumer products. So, the store selling the AR pistol must be accommodating under the law, but the pistol itself is not required to be, thus, the brace is a non-issue under the ADA.
