There really should be civil penalties for bureaucrats that write rules like these. It costs taxpayer money on both sides to fight this obvious bullshit.

Interesting how a squad of cops is powerless to help a classroom full of screaming children from getting gunned down but fully capable of holding one guy upright and taking turns beating him to death for running a stop sign 🤔

This week's Newsletter covers everything you need to know about ATF's new rule on pistol braces. Free to read.

ATF: "This rule is effective the date it is published in the Federal Register. Any weapons with “stabilizing braces” or similar attachments that constitute rifles under the NFA must be registered no later than 120 days after date of publication in the Federal Register"

"...where the Department is overruling ATF’s previous classification letters, possessors of the firearms equipped with 'stabilizing braces' that were at issue in those letters may also be in possession of unregistered NFA firearms."
We told you they were legal, but uh, SURPRISE!

"Consequently, many parties in possession of weapon and 'brace' combinations that ATF did not specifically classify in the past as being subject to the NFA may have been violating the NFA by possessing an unregistered rifle with a barrel of less than 16 inches."
What a joke.

ATF assesses 13,210 small businesses and 1.4 million gun owners will be impacted by today's rule against pistol braces. Braced firearms are almost always used by law-abiding citizens. A ridiculous change that does nothing to stop crime and everything to punish regular Americans.
