    Actually, the comment period with gun folks sending in comments will only help the AFT build a data base of those who more than likely (probable cause) own braces. Guess who's houses they will go to first looking for braces or compliancy? Yep, those who sent in comments.

    And those who got the cookies from even just clicking on the downloaded PDF document... cookies that then tracked you all over the internet. Take it from a comm bubba, watch the Snowden movie."They" have already had everybody's number for a long time.

    There will not be a ban. They will be taxed stamped. And I believe that only adjustable braces will be stamped. Shockwave and original sig type braces may be ok. It could be that pistol caliber braces are ok and rifle caliber braces are a no no You never know how they will rule if the courts let them at all.

    Well I can build an iron throne with all the cheap pistol barrels at least. Or weld 6 inch brakes on em....bs
    Make a flower vase out of them. Weld them together, put a long stem red rose in each one, and present them to your lovely bride. That will be worth Lots of points. But, use the points fast, they have short expiration dates, lol.

    Now, but after reading more YOU can request an oral hearing....... And they are guessing anywhere from 3 million to 7 million have been sold. I'm guessing it's higher than that, way higher.
    Sounds like a lot but that's only 10 percent of the population and roughly 20 percent of the voting population, back to around 10 percent of those republican.

    Just not enough of us to matter.

    Not enough? There are special groups with way less that get all kinds of bs passed. Somebody needs to organize a rally. Take the braces OFF the guns strap em on your forearm and ring the white house. THAT would get their attention.

    Posting comments like social justice warriors is not going to cut it.

    I'm glad you brought this up... I used to be concerned about the amount of people that did not care about their liberty. Now, even if I'm the only one, It does not matter. What you do always matters.

    As a hero of mine once said: "...we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."

    Don't ever stop doing what's right; if you do, just get back to making the right choices. Everyone of us makes a difference, its just hard to see it sometimes. :)

    Yeah, I don't think we are at the point of threatening people. Instead of being mad at a few figureheads, we need to hold people accountable on the local level. That's what will allow real leaders to rise instead of whatever garbage is being done in government currently.

    We had over 70 million and it wasn't enough. 10 cry babies can get their way but if we banned together in masses they are still going to give us the hack. They name streets after them. ONE WAY.

    70 million improperly lead. My point isnt that we stop the erosion of traditional values, we may well be beyond that. But I refuse to give up. I have a young son, and a wife that I want to leave in a better world. My point is that we should all be doing our part close to home.

    Capitol police laid in wait, shot and killed an unarmed 110 pound woman that wasn't threatening anybody with any sort of bodily harm and didn't have any kind of anything resembling a weapon in her hands. And got away with it. Braces strapped to arms of militant males would be suicidal.

    A few years ago there was a protest at the local junior college where a bunch of guys wore plainly visible empty holsters and nobody got hurt... much. Cops had to stop and check every single holster they saw, of course. At least nobody died. Maybe it would work somewhere else

    Because in the case of a pistol equipped with a brace from the factory, the factory made it, not you the individual. A Form 1 is a form to MAKE and Register, not Make OR Register. You did not MAKE it. If you fill out and sign a Form 1, you are saying you made it. If you did not make it, you are committing perjury.

    It is my opinion that on factory equipped pistols with braces, there should be no tax since you did not make it. ATF is saying commit perjury by signing that you made it and they want your name, city, state engraved on it as the maker, not the real maker such as SIG or other makers of braced pistols since ATF intends to retroactively declare them as SBR’s.

    If YOU bought separately a brace and installed it, you would be the maker, then the above paragraph would not apply.

    I will be pointing this and other items out to ATF during the comment period. This is all my opinion. Your’s May differ.

    Seems to me that your "opinion" is ENTIRELY consistent with the BATFE's opinion letters and is verified by the fact that they have arrested and imprisoned several individuals for doing exactly what they are now telling everyone they should do . . . . even if they did not legally make the weapon, but instead bought it from a manufacturer.
