U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- With the release of its Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has left little doubt to its intention to devastate the firearms industry and wreak havoc on millions of American firearm owners, especially the disabled shooters these products were designed to support.
ATF’s proposal would outlaw the vast majority of pistols sold with Stabilizing Braces, and by ATF’s own admission, would result in more than $1 billion in lost revenue to the firearms industry and countless American jobs lost.
In what amounts to the largest firearms registration scheme in U.S. history, the ATF has explicitly prohibited the grandfathering of existing braced firearms. This leaves the millions of firearms owners, who relied on previous ATF guidance, in legal jeopardy.

So tell me, seriously, does BATFE actually consider ANY of the comments? I mean, they might care when a senator, or a representstive, or a governor sends them a letter protesting their bullshit; but why would they care how many subjects post opposition, or what those subjects post in opposition? The only power we wield is 2nd Amendment power, and ATF is betting we wont go there.
As if this wasn’t bad enough, Congress just introduced a bill requiring the registration and licensing of all handguns. Bearing Arms has the story. And the other proposed F squad rule would make every semi auto a machine gun by changing the definition of “readily converted” to a full 8 hour workday in a fully stocked and operational machine shop. You can turn a chunk of metal into a machine gun in less than half the time. Lowes and Home Depot would have to be FFL’s.
It is time. Do you hesr me? IT IS TIME gor BATFE and ALL their bullshit to go. Away. Completely. Permanently. ATF, NFA, GCA, Hughes. Every last bit, go away. They keep pushing, and I keep hoping, that it all comes to a head, and we can engage them, once and for all, and crush them out of existence. Preferably in the courts, but…
Take a deep breath and write rationally. Members of congress read the comments submitted regarding rule changes, especially controversial ones like this. If you just want to vent your spleen, do it here, not there, so you don’t feed the prejudice on the left that 2nd amendment advocates are “knuckle dragging gun nuts.” My comment wasn’t perfect, but here’s what I submitted (the site removes paragraph breaks for some reason): The ATF is redefining short barreled firearms for the very odd reason that manufacturers and consumers have followed the ATF’s definitions and criteria exactly to the letter, and the ATF… Read more »
One thing that you may consider mentioning if you choose to voice your opinion is the very law created to help Americans with disabilities which is what these braces are designed to do. Since the Americans with Disabilities Act has been on the books and faced numerous legal challenges already it is worth noting in my humble opinion that this is in direct violation of that law which was passed by Congress, not like this backhanded attempt to legislate through executive overreach.
What should actually happen is that Congress should stop the ATF from making rule changes that only affect honest the Honest Law abiding Citizens of The United States of America and does absolutely nothing to stop criminals from obtaining guns for illicit reasons. Laws that only stop us Citizens that obtain our weapons legally should be left alone and not ever bothered by the ATF or the President of the United States. They are only changing the rules in order to eventually get rid of all guns in the hands of Citizens which goes against the Constitution of the United… Read more »
Like anything the government gets involved in, it’s gotten too complicated. It’s difficult the find the original reasons for the differing regulations for different firearms.
I could live with this;
Pistols (Easily concealed) can fit in a 4″x8″x16″ container.
Rifles and shotguns will not fit in a 4x8x16″ container.
Do away with SBR designation as it’s pointless.
Politicians/bureaucrats with a law/ruling/regulation never stop a bad guy with a gun.
They only control the good guys, which is their true agenda.
They control the good guys because we let them. How long…ever???…has it been since politicians/bureaucrats truly feared We The Little Peeps???? Well, I guess that is the why of gun control, citizen disarmament.
Do not relent on this proposed pistol brace ban. Show it no mercy.
omar is a bad example to be on this,because he is not and will not be handicapped. He can and does do whatever he wants, sometimes with difficulty but never defeat. A man who masters a bow and arrow like he has. we need a one armed vet maybe with crispy teaching (he does do skills classes)
