Thought it couldn’t get worse than David Chipman, the former Gabby Giffords gun control lobbyist who lied about Waco and denigrated firearms owners as lowbrow rubes? Haven’t we learned by now not to underestimate the anti-American agenda of the decaying corpse currently stinking up the Oval Office?
Enter Steve Dettelbach, the gun-grabbing Democrat at the helm of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) — he’s insatiable, and your pistol brace is back on the menu — and he’s citing ignorance because after all, he’s an attorney, not a “firearms expert”.
Reported by The Right Scoop, Dettelbach was recently “grilled” over a new rule that would see tens of millions of law-abiding gun owners become felons overnight if they fail to register their pistol braces by May 31st of this year; the punishment for violating the rule would be a ten-year prison sentence. See the exchange between Dettelbach and House member Thomas Massie below: (Tweet at link)
Here’s some context:
The federal government and the unconstitutional agency known as the ATF employ the manufactured term “SBR” or “short-barreled rifle” to define any firearm that is intended to be shot from the shoulder (has a stock) and has a barrel length of less than 16 inches, or an overall length of less than 26 inches. In order to own an “SBR” a citizen is:
…required to apply for permission with fingerprints, serial number, and photos, wait an undefined amount of time for processing, and pay for a $200 tax stamp.
Prior to the new “rule” the obvious solution was to equip shorter rifles with a pistol brace — it can function as a stock, and precludes a gun owner from jumping through obnoxious hoops.

Why isn’t there a 10-year sentence for violating an oath to uphold the Constitution of the Uniter States?
“short-barreled rifle”
They’ll be coming for your hacksaw blades!
If it was Democrats they’d find out where he lives and start harassing him at home.
Awww, come on man - cut him some slack. Maybe his expertise lies in alcohol and/or tobacco...
Honestly..
the pistiol brace thing was just an end run around SBR.
What should happen is that AOW/SBS/SBR just needs to be completely eliminated from NFA.
And just handle them ALL as pistols.

But you would be asking DOJ to arrest itself.

“SBR” rule
It probably was meant to enable federal prosecution of urban thugs.

Sure, and 1930s gun and knife laws were to help get gangsters, and the ‘68 NFA to tame civil unrest, and the Patriot Act was not aimed at us citizens either but at those nasty terrorists, etc.
How many ‘child protection’ intrusive laws and regulations are there, all sponsored by the same people who now cross-dress and openly declare they’re coming to molest our kids?
Occam’s Razor — their primary goal is the subjugation of the human race, and “the issue” is never the issue, just the means to the goal. (paraphrased from the SDS)
What matters in the Biden Administration is NEPO (rich or powerful daddy), sexual kink, color, and/or craziness... Merit is NEVER on the table when making decisions in this White House.
