Stephen Gutowski of The Reload has been covering the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ attempt to ban pistol braces. There’s no wiggle room. No grandfather clause. They’re trying to make them illegal, thus turning millions of Americans into felons for exercising their constitutional right to own firearms. Some 10-40 million Americans have firearms with these stabilizing pistol braces. It’s a backdoor ban. Biden doesn’t have the legislative majorities to pass what he wants to pass, so his people are looking at the existing regulations, tweaking them, and they found a big one here. This new ATF regulation is potentially the largest gun registration and confiscation scheme in American history.

Anyone have a current addendum to the 2nd amendment with all the exclusions to "shall NOT be infringed"? I must have misplaced my copy. Next comment with link that the antis use to vilify gun owners and shade us all.

The left’s plan is to take guns from normal, non-violent citizens, and create impossible-to-comply laws that get millions arrested for non-crimes. They already allow violent criminals to have guns so they can waltz right in and take whatever they want from the non-violent ones.

Like a forearm attachment to aid in steadying your aim. I don’t have any. Or anything to attach them to since that fateful day on the Limpopo River. :-}

Armed citizens are an occupational hazard to criminals.
Democrats just want to make the criminals work environment safer..../s

Why does a “stabilizing pistol brace” make a firearm more dangerous?

Fight my brothers and sisters!

Here in western Canada, and all over the country they actually turned us into criminals overnight. They banned stuff that we could hunt with and made them prohibited. It’s a global to disarm us, it’s not unique to you. Fight!

Makes a pistol into a short rifle looking thing. It’s not a rifle of course but you can then grip it like one, with two hands, up to shoulder etc

Thanks. This ban seems so silly. Why not just buy a rifle if you want more accuracy?

Without saying anything about the proposed ATF rule change, I find this sentence rather hard to believe.
