What if they are throwing out a bunch of BS rulings in hopes of being sued?
For example, the more lawsuits there are, the thinner the money from donors and contributors will be spread around when it comes time to fund the really important lawsuits like 41p.

There seems to be much confusion about the SIG brace. Why doesn't someone just write to the ATF and ask about it?

If I had a dollar for every Sig Brace thread this weekend, I could buy a stamp and never worry about it again

actually they said "if you install the sig brace with the intent to shoulder it" it is an SBR.
If you install with intent to strap to your arm and then you shoulder it later, you are good to go. it is the intent when installing it, not how you end up using it. Still extremely fucked up though. |

So if that's the case they can only bust you on home builds if you are shouldering it, not on factory rifles. And that sort of changes the ruling back to intent and away from use determining classification. |

On the bright side, I got an email from PSA. Sig braces $110.

It's no longer a case of how it was designed and sold but now a case of how it could be used. This makes it much easier for the ATF to love you tenderly, if they so choose.

I could not care less how many sig brace threads there are,or ATF threads. This is a firearms forum last I checked. "Forum" means discussion and debate, not solutions. I don't think anyone here expects we'll come up with something that closes the book on this. Therefore, we talk, and we'll talk until more people than are bitching here have had their fill. |

Quoted: I am really tire of these threads. View Quote I think these recent controversial and relatively high profile (at least online) rulings the ATF has made that there's going to be decision coming down on how they've been doing things, and it could be good or bad. It could be decided by SCOTUS or Congress that the ATF has the power to make rulings and define terms on laws concerning firearms, if that happens it's going to be very difficult for us to fight the ATF because it will be drawn out court cases over semantics and intents of law. If it's determined that the ATF can't make rulings on a whim, the question is who does? Is it going to have go all the way to SCOTUS every time a question of what's legal comes up? With all these new products and inventive ideas that are coming out that blur the lines of current definitions, it really opens up the bigger problem that our gun laws (particularly the NFA) are vague and somewhat arbitrary. And that makes it difficult to define what exactly constitutes what. Something is going to happen, it's just a matter of what. |

I knew that the ATF would most likely slap sig brace users with a constructive intent decree sooner or later. A threaded adapter, freeze plugs and a metal tube rustles folks feathers because it *could* be used to make an illegal suppresor. Parts which are not illegal to own but most people on this site wouldn't want to have to explain why they have them in their safe. Sig brace falls under the same category IMO. Not illegal to own but depending on what you do with it could get you in hot water. Not that I think it's right.
They aren't idiots (tounge in cheek) and they knew people were buying braces to skirt the NFA. I'm surprised they didn't say something sooner. |

You idiots with your sig brace is a joke. The fucking stamp is $200. You had to press this fucking thing. Its a useless pos. Keep poking the bear.... You tapco fuct idiots forced them to make a decision. Which was the same as before.... If u shoulder a fucking pistol its an SBR.

The answer to the original question is "yes", but apparently no one gets the significance of it. Any system of logic can get twisted, even without politics, and the ATF is pure politics, at odds with the constitution and common sense. This is the beginning of the death spiral. In a few years there will be no A T F or NFA.
The idiots wanted things their way and jumped the shark right over into psychopath mode. Everyone can see this ruling is a violation of logical determination, due process, and has reduced the confidence level in the system to zero. No credibility means no authority. They just committed suicide, but it will take a while for that to become obvious. Want to help kill the ATF? Buy a SIG Brace. |

People if you don't like the sig brace threads don't fucking read them and shut up. The reason there is so many is because this is the biggest ruling that affects a massive amount of people in a long time. That said, I don't believe a bureaucratic agency has the power to regulate actions and something must be done.

View Quote Sort of disagree with everyone that is saying this is all about all about use. Also disagree with those that say use doesn't factor in at all. If you intend to configure the gun with a shoulder stock and the tube is less than 16" then that configuration is an SBR. If you're not disabled and you put a sig brace on your AR pistol, they don't have anything on you per se. Right up to when you shoulder it. How you USE it is evidence of what you intended when you configured it that way. If you USE the brace as a stock, the law gets to tell the jury that's evidence of what you intended when you put it on there. After watching this entire time while people openly, brazenly, and stupidly went out and made videos using the brace as a stock, and dozens of forum posts saying they would use the brace to get a pseudo SBR, it shouldn't be surprising that the ATF feels like it has some material to use as traction for the intent to configure an SBR. As far as I can tell, you're only going to be guaranteed in the clear if you're in that category of disabled folks the device was described to help when it was submitted. |
