White House Receives New Pistol Stabilizing Device Rule

SB Tactical Stabilizing Braces
SB Tactical Stabilizing Braces

WASHINGTON, D.C. -(Ammoland.com)-The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Department of Justice have sent the rule surrounding pistol stabilizing devices to the White House for Presidential review.

After the 2020 Presidential election, President Joe Biden called on the ATF to change regulations around pistol braces and unfinished frames and receivers. The ATF drafted a proposed rule dealing with unfinished frames and receivers thirty days later. Then a month later, the ATF unveiled its proposed regulations around firearms with pistol stabilizing devices.

During the open comment period, the Federal Registry received just under 300,000 public comments on the proposed frames and receiver rule. The proposed pistol stabilizing device rule received a little more than 250,000 public comments. The vast majority of the comments opposed the new anti-gun rules. The ATF continued to move forward with the rule-making process despite the general public disdain for the new regulations. This rule was the second time a pistol stabilizing rule was proposed. The December, before the final rule proposal, a public comment period was opened on another attempt at introducing a new rule, but the ATF pulled the rule before the comment period closed.

If the final draft rule is any indication, the new rule will treat the vast majority of firearms with pistol stabilizing devices as short barreled rifles (SBR) or short barreled shotguns (SBS). The statute does not ban pistol stabilizing devices but does regulate the firearm utilizing the brace. Companies that make braces can still make the items, but if the ATF treats the stabilizing devices as stocks, the market for pistol stabilizing devices will be small.

It is believed that the new rule will have an amnesty period for gun owners to register their pistols equipped with a stabilizing brace as an SBR or SBS.

In early September, AmmoLand News discovered an ATF request for increased funding for this proposed amnesty period. There are only rumors of the exact number of days in the amnesty period, but a similar period was introduced after the announcement of the frames and receiver rule. That rule saw a 120-day amnesty period. It is logical to conclude that the new amnesty period will have a similar number of days.

Some think President Biden will schedule a press conference like he did when he held a press conference in the Rose Garden to unveil the final frame rule. When the text of the frames and receiver rule was announced, the President invited anti-gun advocates and politicians, including David Hogg, to the White House for a ceremony. Pro-gun advocates saw this press conference as President Biden “spiking the football.”

The White House has not announced when the new rule will be unleashed on the American gun owner. When the final rule is revealed, a slew of lawsuits challenging the regulation is expected to be filed. The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has already filed a lawsuit challenging the yet-to-be-unveiled rule, but the case has been stayed until the end of December to give time for the rule to be unveiled.

The White House did not return AmmoLand’s request for comment.

Y’all quit acting like if you comply that’ll be the end of it. The bar will just keep moving.

Arizona

BATFE cannot legally redefine “firearm, receiver, suppressor, rifle” nor claim braced pistols that have been legally sold with BATFE approval for a decade are suddenly SBR’s. They can not criminalize braced pistols nor write laws. Anyone who registers a pistol should be prepared to receive a “surrender item within 30 days” letter when BATFE changes its mind again and bans them, or Congress does. Each unconstitutional infringement is just “a step in the right direction” until they are all banned, per democrats.

Arizona

Correct, next will be a letter demanding you surrender the registered item within 30 days, or face ever increasing fines.

Let’s just say a million of y’all do the stamp. Do y’all think they will hire more folks to come out and visit? Do you think they’ll use it to make more rules? Do you think you’ll find the next wave of agents and bureaucrats like the silencer crowd has done to keep them as strong as they are now? What happens if it’s 3 million that do the stamp? Do the math and think of where the money will go not counting 10% for the big guy. Your funding your own demise

This is 100% about getting more firearms onto the NFA registry. The registry is the thing. Once its registered, it can be confiscated due to any number of seemingly benign reason. Works in line with the Left’s push for red flag laws. Or, the IRS decides to audit your tax return and send one of their 87,000 new armed agents to your door with an order to seize all registered firearms for the safety of the government agent.

USMC0351Grunt

You’d think it’s be safer for those agents to just stay in their cubicles?

The whole of the U.S. Government Work Staff. The 87000 new employees is just to do the other 6.5 hours of work during the day that the others are paid to do but are not due to Joe Biden’s/Democrats new Socialist Government of pay/benefits/pension/401k-5% Match, but you… Read more »

This is unconstitutional, it amounts to taxation without representation. When idiot Joe invited all the anti gun clowns he exposed his one sided anti gun law . Nobody represented the other side of the equation. Which amounts to taxing for a right and thats unconstitutional. The second amendment is not a privilege these tyrants can grant privileges for a price to those who can afford the stamp . Total discrimination against low income and people of color also .

Arizona

Neither BATFE nor the dementia-addled pedo who was fraudulently installed in the White House have legal authority to create laws, or to alter them. Only Congress has the power to legislate, and that power does not include infringing on the 2nd amendment.

USMC0351Grunt

The sad thing about all that is that John Q Public doesn’t have the backbone to demand that these illiterates quit wasting the BILLIONS and even TRILLIONS is wasteful government spending on these unconstitutional attempts.

Add this prisoner exchange to the Bowe Bergdahl swap and add in the Billions of weapons given to the Taliban. I would say that ANY American citizen that would tell the BATFE to shove it under all of these circumstances that each and every U.S. citizen has a compelling interest in maintaining their weapons in whatever condition they desire to defend not only themselves and family but friends and communities from the existential threats caused by and given that our government is working directly with and supplying our enemies, many whom are being caught entering our borders.

Funny how Chairman Xiden arms terrorist with billions in weapons in Afghnistan, arms the criminal government in Ukraine and trades a known arms dealer who was behind trying to kill Americans for a black lesbian basket ball star. Anyone besides me see hypocricy when he wants us to kiss the ATF’s ass with this bull crap? And wants our “assault” rifles? While he surrounds himself with guys that have actual MACHINE GUNS?

YEP! Being made into a felon puts you on the no fly, no buy gun and ammo ownership list.

Flatrock

Short barreled rifles are appropriate for close quarters home defense. The larger mass than a handgun helps with recoil, and does the greater ease of maintaining a split 2 handed grip. The longer sight radius makes accurate sighting easier.
The excessive regulation and taxation of short barreled rifles does not reduce crime in any measurable way and places significant restrictions of citizens right to defend themselves, particularly in their homes.

Carl up North

Even if you register as an SBR you do know that you have to have a Mother-May-I letter from the ATF to cross state lines or move to a new locale?

Where the Hell is the NRA-ILA on this? Is the NRA going to drop the Ball like they did on the bump stock ban?

The NRA doesn’t “drop the ball”. They actively called for regulation of bumpstocks. Just like they did with the NFA, GCA, Mulford Act, Hughes Amendment, NICS, FixNICS, and red flag laws.

now you’re sounding like that turd Russian 8. today’s NRA is nothing like it was before WLP. even with all the recent financial embarrassments linked to him, WLP has put the NRA front and center in the fight to halt unjust 2A regulations.
only 5 million members even today. if every firearm owner was a voting member, the makeup of the BOD would be even more aggressive but no, most of American gun owners prefer to sit on their collective asses and bitch.
and you are a liar, the NRA NEVER supported the Hughes Amendment.

Yeah, they did. Amazing how you see they supported everything else I listed and still support them.

If you review the uptick in SB Tactical’s sales you’ll find it was THAT very letter that ENCOURAGED MANY to purchase those very items to add to their AR and AK builds! So, the BATFE as well as Bidiot did in fact ENABLE the pending crisis that they are now fabricating under false pretenses and color of law!

So if one was to register with this new proposal, their pistol becomes a SBR and then can throw the brace in the trash and put a real stock on?

Problem is, it would have to be a LAW in order to comply as LAW is the ONLY instrument that carries a PENALTY for violating it. Rules, Regulations, Mandates are all strongly worded INTENTIONS that the elected, appointed, management classes, and some that THINK they have authority or power over us, only WISH us to follow. There are no mechanisms that the courts can use to prosecute us for not complying to those.

Supposedly the fee is waived during the amnesty. IIRC they did that a couple of times in the 20th century as well.

Matt in Oklahoma

You seen that in writing?

USMC0351Grunt

“Supposedly” in the 20th Century a LOT of idiots gave up their information as to WHO had WHAT?

Rock

Grunt…. The BAD part about it is that when you BUY a weapon equipped with one (or any other from an FFL dealer) they know YOU have it from the FFL form submitted…The “idiot” would cover those who tell on themselves for building one.

USMC0351Grunt

No, the Form 4473’s remain in the possession of the FFL’s for years if not decades. All the BATFE can do is come in and do an audit of your records to assure that the FFL is in compliance The BATFE can NOT take photos of or scan ANY 4473’s until the FFL closes it’s shop and turns over their license and ALL 4473’s to the BATFE and those firearms could have been re-sold ten times over by then..

There has already been incidents where some field agents took cell phone pictures to supposedly finish up their report off site. I bet you a dollar they are not deleted after completing the report.

USMC0351Grunt

The agents have ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD to do their jobs. There is no “rush” to get things done.The FFL’s either know or should know this due to the criteria of the audit. Why do you think it takes a year to get a can you already paid for AT A CLASS III DEALER? THAT transaction should have occurred right there at the CLASS III’S shop! THAT is what they are licensed for! As for the Agents copying or filming records? THAT is why the FFL needs to do their job and report these thongs to the higher-ups… Read more »

And did the FFL use the Federal Tort Claims Act and file suit against the ATF and the agents individually to first of all get this matter ON RECORD and expose the agency and individual agents both on behalf of the shop as well as for his customers whom were heavily damaged by the ATF agent’s actions? Just because these people have federal jobs and badges does not allow them to put their pants on any different than we do. Unless there’s some other video that I missed along the way?

Tionico

You are correct, as far as you take this. BUT.. reality has been proven many times over that your assumption BATFE are following the lws restricting them is an erroneous one Sad but too true.

USMC0351Grunt

That really depends on your agent. There actually ARE good agents out there. I run into the very same thing among U.S. Border Patrol, CBP, county Sheriffs and their deputies as well as Texas State DPS, ALL the time. You’ve got good guys and bad.

ALL crap from the federal government occurs because of the apathy of the American citizen sitting on their complacent asses and not fighting back!

Joe

In the 80’s, I had a FFL. When I did not renew it, the ATF visited me and took all of my sales records. I do not know if that is the same now.

Courageous Lion - Hear Me Roar - Jus Meum Tuebor

and I’m sure they took them somewhere and burned them. LOL!

USMC0351Grunt

Yes I was an FFL back in the 80s as well. But I assure you that when you closed up shop that the gun so that you sold through your shop could have very well been resold four to five times over so the FFL or the ATF doesn’t have a clue where those firearms are and all the form 4473s are going to show is whoever first purchase that firearm from the manufacturer through the FFL.

JDT

The BATF have taken photos of FFL’s books and recently caught doing this.

Courageous Lion - Hear Me Roar - Jus Meum Tuebor

The ATF does whatever it feels like. You can see videos on youtube of them violating the law about record keeping!

Bubba

100% Correct. For all those that have not seen this before. 1. Firearm is manufactured. 2. Firearm is serialized by manufacturer. 3. Shipped to FFL 4. Sold to buyer using a 4473 5. 4473 is filed in a safe or secure file cabinet by manufacturer then serial number. That’s where tracking ends. Until said firearm ends up in LEO’s hands. If the firearm is used in a crime or is found by some form of law enforcement (ATF is not technically a LEO – more like SS Nazi’s for the Democrats) they begin the trace. See steps 1 through 5… Read more »

Brad55

You forgot this about the FFLs.
If an FFL is going out of business or just wants to stop being an FFL, said FFL has to turn their records over to the ATF. The ATF has to keep those records for 20 years from what I have heard.

This is where the ATF can and does build a database of firearms. Yes, it’s illegal but they are doing it.

USMC0351Grunt

Yes but if that gun has been sold four or five times across the country, all the ATF has a historical database of who originally purchased that particular firearm. There is no way in hell the ATF is going to know who bought the gun and then sold it to somebody else and then gave it to a relative and then sold it to somebody else and then sold it again before that person giving it to a relative. Don’t get me wrong, there is no way in hell that I support any kind of a federal database on anything!… Read more »

It is unconstitutional, and cruel and unusual! While murderers and rapists get 5 or 3 years, for actual harm and victimizing another, the gov wants to punish mere ownership of an inanimate object far more severely. The reason why: they fear it being used to defend freedom.

John, the 120 days was not an amnesty. That was the time it took after the frame/receiver rule was published for the rule to take effect. A pistol brace rule would also have a delay after being published to the national register.

An amnesty would be a planned period in which restricted items could be registered without penalty.

It’s all a bunch of silliness anyway. The government is not acting to prevent us from getting short barreled to death, they’re using this as an excuse to put the screws to people who arm themselves.
