The pistol brace was a way to get around laws and regulations for 99% of those who purchased them, period. First, it was an SBR for folks who live in one of the 21 states where SBRs are banned, or just don't want the hassle of a tax stamp. Second, it allows cheating hunters to hunt with a rifle during pistol season in states that have such a season.
I 100% think short barreled rifles and suppressors should be unregulated, and I should be able to walk out of a store with either as long as I am not a restricted person. Unfortunately we have ridiculous regulation on both.
I agree. Suppressors should be as unregulated a muzzle brakes and flash hiders. Likewise, SBRs should be no different than any pistol or rifle.
