Supposedly the rule is going to be published next week and you will have 120 days to register your pistol with a stabilizing brace as a short barreled rifle or become an instant criminal by a stroke of the pen. The $200 tax will be waived for the grace period.

So what’s the difference between a “regulation” and a “law?”

This is probably a trial run.

Has this strategy at registration ever been tried in the USA?

If this flies they could probably do it with any other feature... like pistol grips or bayonet lugs.

Imagine the gun grabbers are like a wad of jello and the Supreme Court is like an enormous clamp.

As the clamp tightens down, the jello leaks around the edges, trying to get out from under the pressure.

The gun grabbers attempts are like this jello. It oozes out everywhere and anywhere it can. It will, in the future, be clamped down but for now, the gun grabbers will attempt to ooze out and impose their illegality by government upon us.

The gun grabbers, and by extension the democrats, are also anticipating breaking the clamp by loading the Supreme Court with fellow gun grabbers who can then deny the Constitution as plainly written and thus render the clamp useless.

Be ever vigilant! It’s YOUR rights that they want to take from you.

I don’t think many will comply, just like many did no comply with the SFAE act in NY. ATF is trying to change the definition of an SBR. They have no authority and eventually this rule will be found unconstitutional. The ATF knows this but they dont care. They figure a few people will report in and they will get them in the gun registry before this makes it way through the courts.

It will be interesting to see how the amnesty is worded. exactly what is considered a stabilizing brace? Do you have to show a receipt? Are homemade braces eligible?

Very important questions.

There are millions of braces out there. This may overwhelm the system. Does the registration have to be completed, or only applied for in the time period allocated?

Their reasoning is daft in the first place. From what I understand their justification is that a Brace makes a pistol “more powerful” than it would normally be. Only a complete idiot would come up with this concept and does not deserve to work there at all.

Wouldn't it have been a nice gesture of appreciation to the millions of gun owners for their stalwart support of the GOP by repealing the 1934 NFA back when Republicans controlled the House, Senate, and White House?

Instead, we got a bumpstock ban and the NFA remains for regulation such as this.

The move is part of a comprehensive gun crime strategy President Biden announced in April 2021, in response to the massacre at a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, where a gunman using a stabilizing brace killed 10 people.

As if the brace had anything to do with it. The dishonesty and malfeasance of politicians is unlimited.

The NRA was silent about the bumpstock ban. Gun Owners Of America was not. So the NRA no longer gets my money. They are for 2A limitations.
The old leadership would have never supported bumpstock ban.

And the ATF still has their stupid “myths about the ATF” page claiming the ATF does not make laws.

....just “rules” that must be followed by rule of law.....

Bunch of lying murderers.

The ATF having reached the conclusion that since shoes
give added traction and that since 100 percent of mass
shooters wore shoes...the use of shoes will be banned
by regulation... /S

What I find hilarious about this is they think there’s some logic in making handguns with a stock illegal when the upshot is the stock doesn’t make the bullet it fires any more lethal but because it can be fired should-mounted, you’re more likely to hit what you intend to (and less likely to hit an innocent bystander).

It’s not helpful that the pistol brace people have been laughing at ATFE for several years about what a simple way an arm brace is to get around the (unconstitutional) 1934 National Firearms Act.

Our bureaucrats do tend to be dense, but they’re not THAT dense.
