After receiving over 55,000 comments in less than three days, the ATF has withdrawn their letter of guidance regarding rifle-caliber pistols with stabilizing braces, and when they would be considered instead an NFA Short Barreled Rifle.

We won! (For now...)

Excuse me, the ATF received over 67,000 comments. I've read quite a few (and wrote one,) and I didn't see a single positive comment.

A win for a while, that’s for sure. The fight to come will make this one look like a skirmish, but I’ll take it.

I was going to write a comment over the Christmas holiday. Looks like I don’t need to now - although my link for the comment location still works.

Wrong. F-Troop got the call from Biden/Schumer/Pelosi.

Translation: We got this.....the new leftist Senate and House will take care of the pesky RKBA.

How is this a win? Defending something that had been perfectly legal for years?

The NFA should've been designated for repeal the day President Trump was inaugurated as a gesture of gratitude for the unwavering support that gun owners have given Republicans.

Instead we got a bumpstock ban and stabilizing braces are on the chopping block.

It's disgraceful that we're defending gun rights while a Republican is president.

Stabilizing braces have been perfectly legal for years. The NFA should've been targeted for repeal the day President Trump was inaugurated as a gesture of gratitude for the unwavering support and loyalty that gun rights proponents have given Republicans.

Instead we got a bumpstock ban and now stabilizing braces are on the chopping block.

The absolute lunacy of this is the conviction that somehow a pistol with a long barrel or a rifle with a short barrel is somehow more a threat to public safety than the alternatives.
