ATF Prosecutes man for pistol brace

[-HIC-]

Good news is the ATF lost the case. This did not seem to be related to the shouldering issue that was brought up before. This could have set a dangerous president.

"The Bureau has defied its own definitions, saying that adding a pistol brace to a pistol made it a short-barreled rifle."

Seriously guys come on! That hideous contraption serves no other purpose other than being shouldered. All of these stupid tacti-cool crap braces should be able to be prosecuted.

And l, what is all that other crap on the gun? This must belong to some millennial who has no concept of functionality.

Very much disagree!!

^Yup. Slippery slope… Gov shouldn't be involved AT ALL! Blows my mind to see "conservatives" arguing for more gov involvement in our lives.

Hope you’re kidding. You should go read about why these arm braces were developed before you spout off that they have no other purpose than being shouldered. I suspect you might learn a thing or two about people with certain disabilities.

With that said, I can’t stand all the tacticool garbage people out on their guns. Why in the world would I want a scope, flashlight, laser, pressure switches, and a cotton candy machine on my hand guard? To each their own though, and let it be that way.

It's more clean cut than a slipper slope. It's idiotic.

To circumvent the NFA tax stamp?

The whole SBR regulation is a bunch of crap, yes. But kidding ourselves into thinking 99.999% of people buying a brace because they’re disabled and want to tie their AR pistol to their arm is not helping anything.

That's fine, except that the ATF itself has ruled it's okay to shoulder them.

Please enlighten me on what the above contraptions designed purpose is?

The Gov't is involved because there are written laws on SBR's, "pistols" and their use. If the person who was in possession of the pistol above was shoulder firing it, the firearm would then be considered an SBR and they have violated a law and should be prosecuted.

That is false.
