He won't do shit

Second Amendment Foundation v BATFE is in the Northern District of Texas, in the 5th Circuit, and has been held pending the final rule for several months.

Now that the final rule is at hand, and Cargill v Garland says the ATF does not have the authority to change it's mind on the legality of products subjecting owners to criminal liability, expect things to move quickly.

It looks like guns with the old fashioned Sig braces and shockwaves are exempt.Or any other braces If they can be attached to the arm then they are not covered by this.

The idea is that if it cannot be attached to the arm as originally intended then it is a stock. Basically most braces are designed to brace the weight of the gun  by attaching the brace to the forearm.

If it can attach to the arm as intended then it will not be considered a stock.

This seems to be another panic like when everyone decided to mass hallucinate the guidance letter for shouldering braces.

Basically, if I am reading this correctly, you can get free stamps, but also, braces are legal if you can attach them to your arm.



If the ATF was really smart they would use the ensuing flood of paperwork to get the NFA program modernized and attached to the NICS. Get the whole process done as fast as a background check to buy regular guns.

They would collect a huge increase in revenue and get to show the politicians that they have done more background checks than ever before. Win win.

China will copy any design.  So run with the possible IP.

What if "someone" designed a mangina shoulder socket.  Combination of a shoulder harness and "sloppy whore" fleshlight receptacle end.  Pocket on the backside to keep mangina period pads, sloppy hole up front at minimum 1.75" wide for (things)  and a pouch for skittles and condiments.

Rough idea, that needs more R&D.

We all know that millions of us have either bought factory made pistols with braces or made our on. We know there are millions more braces out in the wild right now being sold or bought up. It is a common thing in America now. The ATF had told us we all were GTG. They even clarified at one time we could even shoulder them. The ATF plainly says, that once we get the free stamp, we can take the braces off and put a stock on. So the way I see it is...

1) This will get dragged out in court, the masses will keep their braces, and keep on doing what they do. GOA, the people, brace manufactures, etc. will fight this out.

2) Some of us that want a "legal" SBR will take advantage of this to get what free stamps we need for our certain SBR builds. Our SBRs builds will have stamps and we will still have our "pistols" with braces once the dust settles. Win win.

3) Some of us already have NFA items and already on a "list" so them people will for sure take advantage of the free stamps. The ones of us not on a "list", do we go for the free SBR stamps dangling in front of us and get on a "list"?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haynes_v._United_States

"The National Firearms Act of 1934 required the registration of certain types of firearms. Miles Edward Haynes was a convicted felon who was charged with failing to register a firearm under the Act. Haynes argued that, because he was a convicted felon and thus prohibited from owning a firearm, requiring him to register any firearms in his possession was requiring him to make an open admission to the government that he was in violation of the law, which was essentially a violation of his right not to incriminate himself."

"In a 7-1 decision, the Court ruled in 1968 in favor of Haynes."

"The court held: " To eliminate the defects revealed by Haynes, Congress amended the Act so that only a possessor who lawfully makes, manufactures, or imports firearms can and must register them"

So, if the pistols were illegal the whole time, how could we possibly register them?

If the last two years have shown you anything, it's that democrats will change the meanings of words to suit a specific narrative and/or an agenda they are pushing. The move to turn every pistol with a brace into a SBR that now has to be registered is one of the most brazen things the agency had done to date. They don't have the authority to do it. They know it. We know it. They know we know it. They, literally, don't give a single shit about it. What they are doing is illegal, per the SCOTUS. Despite that, they are going all-in, balls deep, without a single concern.

This is a big deal. And they aren't going to stop with braced pistols. They are going to keep going, keep pushing, keep infringing, and keep criminalizing firearm ownership until they eventually outlaw it all. It's all part of The Agenda and they are sold out to it.
