ATF 2021R-08: Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached “Stabilizing Braces”

[Johnny]

First shot: 141 House Republicans challenge ATF tax, registration of AR pistols

A majority of House Republicans are vowing to kill a new Biden plan to tax and regulate one of the nation’s most popular firearms for target practice and hunting, claiming it discriminates against disabled veterans and would make all owners “felons overnight.”

Another good move by Richard Hudson (NC congressman)! He wrote the letter.

If I remember right, they only received 40K comments when they pulled this same stunt in December 2020 and that was enough for them to shelve it.

I'm pretty sure there's more to that story. There were a number of congressmen that signed a letter to help kill that. Yes, the same guys sent effectively the same letter again, but they still had the Whitehouse and a Senate majority at the time of the original letter. It would have been easy for the ATF to bide time already knowing the outcome of the election meant they simply had to wait a bit.

A lot of small boats will go down next month.

While I understand this comment is sarcasm, please refrain from making it. I'm in the market for a good used boat and you're driving the price up on me.

I’m coming out of retirement. Just bought a cordless drill and a good-sized hole saw bit. I’m thinking there’s gonna be big demand for my services. 🤓

1) most braced pistols are sbr
2)They do a free tax stamp and short amnesty for braced pistols. Like one previous sorta plan
3) They release a completely revamped e file system and tout it's effectiveness in easing the regulatory burden. Which will begin a new era of defacto weapon registration.

2 sticks and a poisoned carrot.

For existing weapons which would be considered short barreled rifles under the proposed rule, no provision will be made for grandfathering those weapons, and the ATF will not be waiving the $200 NFA tax stamp for anyone.

Of COURSE not.

Because they can change the rules and enact laws without legislation by representatives elected by the people.

This is what tyranny looks like.

After today, I continue to live my life at peace with myself.
Besides, WHEN the ATF man comes calling, it won’t matter what attachments you have on your defense weapon.
