U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- On December 23rd, ATF posted a document to its website indicating that its recently published Objective Factors for Classifying Weapons with “Stabilizing Braces” is withdrawn.
The withdrawal notice indicates that “[u]pon further consultation with the Department of Justice and the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, ATF is withdrawing, pending further Department of Justice review, the notice, and request for comments entitled ‘Objective Factors for Classifying Weapons with ‘Stabilizing Braces’,’ that was published on December 18, 2020.”
The withdrawal notice came only hours after Rep. Richard Hudson (NC-08) and 89 other Congressional Representatives sent a letter to ATF asking the agency to “immediately take action to correct this injustice.”
As we reported, the “guidance” did nothing to fix ATF’s history of confusing and conflicting determinations on pistol braces.
We would like to thank the NRA members, gun owners, and members of Congress who stood up for the Second Amendment rights of all Americans. And, special thanks to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Congressman Hudson for taking the lead in pushing ATF to rethink its arbitrary and unhelpful “guidance.”

Let me just leave this right here:
Bill Barr Needs To Answer For His Role In Ruby Ridge | Gun Owners of America
Trust the atfe? When biden and camella get into office I still remember what they promised. I still remember Ruby Ridge and Waco and watching unarmed, handcuffed people face down on the floor getting kicked in the head. I still remember the firearms they stole and were ordered by the court to return and never did. I still remember people being beaten in their drive way.
Arm up and carry on
This was with absolutely NO help from the NRA. There are reasons why I stopped paying them money and went to someone else. This is because WE THE PEOPLE spoke, as well as 89 congressmen. NOT the nra.
If you think this is a dead issue just wait until Biden and his cronies get in office they will try everything they can to put a stop to firearm ownership including magazines, braces, etc…
The people who were fooled into voting democrat are wanting to make America into a country that we won’t to live in once they get their way.
They all see the world through their Rose colored glasses, pitiful.
Under Biden-Harris, this will be re-visited.
