Quoted: I have 12 tax stamps. The BATF already knows that I have SBRs. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I don't like the abuse of power coming from our government today. Corrupt Obama loyalists are imbedded throughout our police and judicial, and they have weaponized the govt against the people. Sadly, in the end the corrupt DOJ will support the BATF and this rule will be enforceable under federal law, and anyone that didn't register within 120 days will be a felon. All of those felons are now low hanging fruit for the DOJ to arrest and prosecute. Imagine going up against the Biden DOJ for a gun crime being a conservative. They are going to destroy your life. You will lose your job and your family will be destroyed. You will have to spend $50-$100K defending yourself. And regardless of the fact you're just a good honest guy having fun with an illegal SBR, you're going to federal prison for 3-4 years. So you volunteer that you have a SBR, for the eventual AWB and confiscation? I have 12 tax stamps. The BATF already knows that I have SBRs. If this is the case, they know your last screen name, too. |

Quoted: Wrong. You could register a MG any time up until 1986. It was simply "free" to do it during the 1968 amnesty - no questions asked. But they could have registered a MG in 1969, 1970, 1971, etc... and just paid the $200. View Quote Correct. You could register MGs made up until 1986. Not make a MG say in 1990 and register it. On these SBRs they are not saying in 120 days you can not make and register SBRs no more, As of right now anyways. |

Quoted: Not a popular opinion here as of late, but impossible to argue with. Many of those same who complied are now pointing a finger....... View Quote The benefit of have a braced pistol was being able to legally (in my state atleast and surrounding states) have it cocked, locked, and ready to rock in my vehicle and being able to do so crossing state lines. Can't do that with a SBR. So... uh... thats my argument i'd like to hear your take on that |

However, they aren't realizing the hypocrisy of saying that while using a brace themselves instead of just "not complying" and using a stock instead... thereby putting their money where their mouth is and ignoring the law to register the SBR because they espouse: "I will not comply". So if you're on the same bandwagon and referring to those who take the free stamps as "sellouts" or accusing them of "bending the knee" and insisting that they should not comply - you're doing so already by complying with an equally unconstitutional SBR interstate transport law, no? |

The guys that didn't register ended with a machinegun they have to hide for the rest of their lives, and if they get caught they're going to prison for a few years. The people that did register saw the value of that machinegun go up and up. Vietnam bring back registered AKs are going for $40K and up today. The unregistered machineguns are worth whatever the sum total of parts minus the reviewer will bring. But, on machine guns, they said register now or never. With SBRs they are not saying that. Register a SBR now for free or 20 years from now for $200 After the 1968 amnesty, only newly manufactured US made machineguns could be produced and sold to civilians. For example, if you had an unregistered MG34 or Thompson SMG that you did not register in the 68 amnesty, then your only option to make these guns legal up until 1986 was to manufacture a new receiver in the USA and put the old parts on the new receiver and register it. You would have to destroy the original receivers as they couldn't be registered ever. |

Quoted: It's actually a great opportunity to save $200 registering an SBR. Registration is free. NO CHARGE! And they don't ask for proof that you have a brace on the gun you're amnesty registering.

My prediction:
1. People will apply for and receive free tax stamps. 2. ATF gets beat down in court, and stops giving away free tax stamps. Said beat down rules that arm braces are cool. 3. Everyone that got a free stamp before they stopped giving free stamps will still have a free stamp. 4. Low information whiners will wish they had free stamps. |

I look at it this way. everyone getting their panties in a bunch right now are tilting at windmills. yes it's bullshit, and yes it's an infringement, but this seems like something ripe to be smacked down in the courts and set a precedent going forward..
"common use" and all that. In the meantime, crossing your t's and dotting your i's is an option. You don't have to do it, but don't act all high and mighty at those who do, because you've complied with every unconstitutional law and ruling passed previously. I bet ALL of you people were tripping over yourselves complying with the 94 ban.. and there were plenty of you now complaining who had no problem with the bumpstock ruling.. seems pretty hypocritical to me. |

But I won't make any predictions on if SBRs will still be NFA, if braces are or are not SBRs, what happens to braced Shockwaves, etc, at the end of this. Kharn |

And if you've been vocal and passionate about it, the "innocent citizen who just didn't know" card will be harder to play, in the low but non-zero odds that becomes a very regrettible decision. There WILL be some who do this, and go to court to fight the case on it. I would suggest someone resourced and willing who will have a strong case that is otherwise clean, in the 5th circuit, will be the best card for this. Browbeating others to do so do, achieves nothing other than making you look bad. -Register what you have, and move on. It is an easily reversible registration. As noted, in the end, there is a good chance this whole thing goes away, and you end up with a better stock than a crappy armbrace out of the deal. There seems to be a broad dismissal that a whole lot of people who entered the armbrace game, knew this day was coming and had already planned on going SBR when it did. -Option 3: Take a chapter out of Unintended Consequences, and Zip-tie an armbrace to every F'ing thing you own, including every handgun you own. And flood the system with applications. You do you. Perhaps let others do so as well. If your plan is for others to violate codified federal law with considerably higher criminal penalties than sitting in the front of the bus, that's kind of a shitty expectation to be putting on others. |

It's saying "no no, the existing system is so good, I prefer that route " why on Earth would you advise that route, and underwrite you very enemy to do it? View Quote So NOW you are going with the "paying the tax stamp is funding the enemy" route? LOLOLOL Talk about a reach...but fine. I'll play. OK, so how many tax stamps do you have? Does everyone here now realize that their tax stamps have been funding the enemy? Seems like braces would have been a way of refusing the FUND the enemy, along with NOT registering with .gov. Why do you hate freedom? |

This is why we are doomed as a country. Not enough balls left. This thing has not even went into effect yet and people are caving. Good Lord.

Quoted: The reason for some of this passion we see is akin to slapping the food out of the hand of the one person who is percieved as smiling to the guard and was handed food by the concentration camp guards. View Quote I think many see this as 5 prisoners and 2 guards with fully loaded guns. Both guards get up and walk off forgetting their weapons. 2 of the prisoners jump up real fast, grab the weapons, and rush over returning them back to the guards with a smile on their face. The guards made a mistake and the few jump before even thinking how their actions affect the group as a whole. |

The guards signed a letter saying the prisoners could expend as may of their resources as they wanted buying guns and then changed their mind...too bad the prisoners still have the signed letter. |

Quoted: I currently have 12 tax stamps, but all are filed under a trust which didn't require finger prints, and all were filed 10+ years ago. So I am not familiar with getting finger prints. If you can't provide helpful info on getting fingerprints, kindly f-off. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: The prospect of letting the ATF cuck you got you so excited that you couldn’t even bother to educate yourself on how to file a form 1? Pathetic I currently have 12 tax stamps, but all are filed under a trust which didn't require finger prints, and all were filed 10+ years ago. So I am not familiar with getting finger prints. If you can't provide helpful info on getting fingerprints, kindly f-off. Then why the hell not just register it as an SBR? |
