With the new policy regarding ruling on accessories combined with the bump stock ban.

I don't think anyone can seriously argue that arm braces aren't just exploiting a loophole in the wording of definitions.

Bump stocks similarly exploited a loop hole.

None of it should be prohibited because the NFA is unconstitutional, however this to me seems like a case of playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes.

For years you have a bunch of people showing how they basically have found a way around a prohibited item and rubbed it in the govt face.

Same thing is happening with braces.

Thoughts?

Depends on how quickly some asshole uses one in a highly publicized shooting.....rate of fire not affected so not necessarily direct comparison. Binary triggers however

If they can ban bump stocks like this then braces are the least of our concerns. They can pick anything they don’t like and do away with it at this point if this stands.

They don't need to be on his radar.  He's proven he doesn't know anything about guns and he's proven he will work towards banning accessories.  And, he's proven he's not going to defend due process, so what's the process of making laws going to matter?

My personal opinion is that braces aren't really on the radar of many people outside of the BATFE, so short of them becoming super high profile (like the bumpstock after the Vegas shooting), I don't see them going anywhere for the time being.

Braces and binary triggers will be on the menu as soon as the new CONgress is sworn in.

If there is a highly publicized shooting where a braced pistol is snuck in somewhere then I think we can say goodbye to braces.  Unless that happens then I doubt anyone cares enough to ban them.

Some nutbag that sees one on the wall at a gun shop will do it.

Or when they find out about binary triggers

They can pretty much use the exact same reasoning for binary triggers, and likely will at some point.  I think braces are a little different, while it would not be hard to ban, they do have a more legit use.  Reading the entire rule, it's pretty legit and would be relatively hard to overturn.

It sets bad precedent, but I think the bump stock ban will be a one time event, at least under Republicans.

The next "shooting" will probably be an AR pistol. It'll probably be one of those $259 kits and people will ask "how are they selling these death machines so cheap?" And "they're so small you can hide them in a backpack!"

You think Trump knew what the fuck a bumpstock was prior to Vegas?

One high body count shooting with a brace, sorry, "a device which lets the user circumvent the lawful 1934 ban on short rifles and allows them to more easily conceal their murder machines" and he'll roll over like a fat seal in front of a fish bucket.

Trump Jr. is an avid shooter and 2nd amendment supporter.  I say that but then again he might just be "The rich people should have guns" supporter.  I follow him on instagram and he seems to be raising his kids right and hunting with them often and shooting guns. I find it hard to believe he doesn't have more pull with his dad.

I'm pissed about the infringement and the fact the gov't just keeps fucking taking but lets be honest, the bump stock is fucking stupid.

Since we have braces, the .gov needs to either take SBR's out of the NFA or speed pass that stuff with a $200 online pay and click tax stamp.

If we get any bans like braces, binary triggers, (so called) Assault Weapon Ban, or anything else of that nature and Trump or his people have anything to do with it I am done with him.  I will not vote for him ever again.  I will not support him.  If the NRA supports anything like that they go on the same forever may they go fuck themselves list w/ no chance of coming off.

I expect a statement from the NRA any day how.......

Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of pistol braces, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law.  The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic pistols to function like semi automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations.

The one advantage we have with braces is that, near as I can tell, they are far more popular than bump stocks.  That means more political risk with a ban.  And for those who are sure to say that the politicians won't care, ask yourself why handgun bans haven't met with much success despite the fact that everyone knows they are the favored firearms of criminals.
