I'll be interested to see if they actually try to hem somebody up for shouldering a SIG brace (solely on that charge, unlike the Kalifornia clusterfuck currently ongoing).
Right now, my feeling is that it's like an incrementally more dangerous 922(r). |

I bet Youtube videos of people shouldering a SigBrace take a dramatic plunge; but other than that I don't see a big change. Hell, during the 1994 ban there were all kinds of non-compliant rifles everywhere - and that was something that could be more easily checked. Under ATFs latest letter, unless they catch you in the act of shouldering it, they don't have any evidence to even prosecute.
Heck, even if they have video of you shouldering a Sig Brace, they still have to prove that it wasn't a registered SBR in the video. The interesting thing to me will be if they use this ruling to retroactively punish "ungood thinking.". If I were Colion Noir or some other prominent RKBA guy who was well-spoken and represented a threat to the Administration's position on gun control, I'd be getting my ducks in a row. |

Y'all are missing the whole point of this.
The ATF doesn't even have to prove that you actually shouldered it, just by possessing it you're looking at a felony charge. By their "constructive intent" logic, you've already built an SBR. How many cases are there where a LEO (not intended to be a cop bash, just stating it as it happens) says they saw something happen, and then it turns out it didn't happen that way? There's no way to physically tell that you didn't shoulder it. Think about that for a second. There's no physical evidence that you didn't break the law. Any federal prossocutor worth his/her weight is going to say "It's commonly known that the use of one of these 'Sig Braces' is to skirt around the National Firearms Act laws, to avoid paying a $200 tax. Look at all of these youtube videos." You'd be fucked, courtesy of your internet neckbeards. |

the majority of Sig Brace owners will remain blissfully unaware of ATF's latest ruling and continue doing whatever they feel like with their brace.
firearms owners in general have little or no knowledge of firearms laws, just look at all the questionable armslist/gunbroker ads that get posted here on a regular basis. |

By their "constructive intent" logic, you've already built an SBR. The ATF's position is that the SIG Brace, when used as a brace is legal. When used as a stock, you have "redesigned a firearm to be fire from the shoulder" and therefore made an SBR. So going by their own letter, they do indeed have to show that you designed or redesigned the firearm to be fired from the shoulder. So they need some evidence of intent from the user - an internet post, an email, a video showing it being used from the shoulder. You can't rely on constructive intent to prosecute when there is a legal use for the parts in your possession (See Thompson Centerfire). |

I am just going to put a collapsible stock on my non-sbr pistol.
I just never intend to shoulder it. I only want the stock so I can more securely lean it up against the wall. Therefore, under their current ruling, I have "resdesigned" the collapsible stock vertical storage platform device and my pistol will remain a pistol, not requiring to be registered under the NFA.

I agree. If you actually strictly enforced all the ridiculous firearms laws on the books, you'd have to imprison several million people. You could probably round up over a million just on 922r violations. |

Personally, I don't think it's going to gain much traction. How will it be enforced? The only way I see it being enforced is if ranges begin to not allow you to shoulder Sig braces, or not allow them on the range at all. I bet a lot of LEOs will not enforce it, and there isn't an ATF agent on every range or in every rural shooting spot. From the way the letter is worded, it's not as if mere possession of a Sig brace installed on a pistol will be grounds for prosecution.
My guess is that not much will change because it's too hard to prove that you actually shouldered the weapon at some point, unless some ATF agent or overzealous LEO catches you doing it, or if someone is actually stupid enough to post a video or picture online of them shouldering the weapon. |
