Braced Pistols to become SBR's starting in December?

[DAS HUGH!]

Here's another nugget...

 

[stage20]

People will also buy the pistol version with the intent to legally sbr it. A lower must always have the ability to put a stock on it

Intent and ability. Exactly what the ATF wants to hear.

The way I read it and understand from watching the videos is it's acceptable if it is required for function.
If you had a buffer tube on a BRN180 it's a felony. SE goes for any 22lr ar15. Interpretation........

Mine is factory...22 unable to remove short of sawing it off.

They're not gonna stop selling things like the MCX pistols. They just won't ship with a brace or stock. That rail you keep referring to don't touch your shoulder. That's how I said I'd be using it.
You're logic of intent and ability applies to tubes as a whole also. It implies they will have to get rid of buffer tubes altogether. Since a brace can slide onto one. So the better ban the tube also. Better yet they better weld up that wicked hole where tubes thread into just so no one can put anything back there, just in case
Rails will be fine.

Don't be sawing anything off. From the video put out by MAC they want to destroy our stuff.

Funny people trying to use reason and logic for this topic, when those two were obviously not used by BATFEEE in 'creating' this "rule".

Ikr. Wait till the first 88 days expire. All hell is gonna break loose

Can I install a hologram device to my AR buffer tube that just makes it look a brace but it's not really there?

It is mildly entertaining to watch the other cats chasing their tails...

Sure, just have to practice your inner Obi-Wan... it works well on the 'weak minded'...

I bet most have a whole closet full of "small not comply" Tshirts lol

Then how do you expect said AR pistol to function? Read again and report back.

There are already plenty of AR pistols with the spring on top of the upper receiver and no buffer tubes at all. And then there's the Keltec. Oh and every AK pistol, including the IWI AK pistol that takes AR mags

R's don't have the votes to do jack, so they come off the ropes to look tough.

They didn't do anything from '16-18 when they could have walked stuff through without question.

There's a lot of truth in your words. This was Jeff Miller's tactic of choice at the end of his run. Gaetz followed Miller, and I like that he is finally stepping out, but still gotta see real results.

 

[IronBeard]

Do any of you realize this new ruling could also be part of an internet/community information sharing/chat operation that the government is conducting to prevent a future uproar in future developing gun laws that are surely coming down the line.....

Just think about it for a minute. The Intel that they are gathering on how fast the news spreads in which areas "where to sent the most UN troops", the threats, the number of people claiming they wont comply, what Google searches you made, what items you may have stocked up on in preparation for "battle" of this injustice.

Don't mind me I'm off my rocker today.

Agreed, but Dude, more intel is passed every day via calls, e-mails, and letters, to "representatives." We're all probably guilty of that to some extent. In the end, "they" have all they need, can spin what they have to further "their" cause, and 99% of the population will just go along. Let Freedom ring.

It amazes me that some people, including some on this forum, are already trying to ditch their pistol braces. Nothing like running scared over a regulation that is not even official yet and is already being legally contested as well as being condemned by many members of the U.S. Congress. Stop getting your panties in a wad and chill. Hang onto to your pistol braces and your pistols. Additionally, this whole proposed regulation change is really for one reason and that is to have a federal registry. Nevermind that every law governing firearms is in clear violation of the Constitution starting with the National Firearms Act of 1934. It never has stopped criminals from getting the weapons they choose to have and no gun laws ever will.

Yes, but, It's The Law! Eyes rolling...

 

[IronBeard]

Someone should make a shooter's vest or jacket that has a padded shoulder area that excepts a buffer tube. Then AFT can add a C to their name and start regulating clothing. Hell, maybe even classify people as firearms. I hope to be classified as a machine gun instead of a SBR. Makes for a better pick up line at the bar.

I just want to stay classified as some old broken guy that doesn't know ___, and should go take a nap.

 

[IronBeard]

What if I put the beaver tail to my shoulder on my 1911? Maybe extend it 16" or so?

I expect you'll either turn yourself in, or go directly to hell. Oh, and the ATF will already know 'cause your neighbors will tell on you.

Well, I mean, it's a "rule" not a law per se, also it still isn't actually on the federal register, so it's not even a rule yet. They dropped this early without adding it to the federal register to get people angry and force a response, and they timed it with a large firearms expo.
