Quoted: Winning is better than losing. But who actually gains what from this temporary injunction? ATF is blocked from enforcing the rule on individuals but they already weren't until June 1 and the appeal will probably be ruled on in June. I guess they're temporarily blocked from enforcing against sales but how many ffls and suppliers are going to sell during an injunction of a few weeks. Remember Illinois. Don't celebrate the temporary win unwisely. Anything bought now would be illegal if the appeal goes the other way and not even eligible for a freebie. View Quote Everyone wins. I'm guessing there are a metric boat load of people who have not taken their braces off (regardless of if they know about it or not). And with this injunction, they WON'T be taking their braces off (regardless of if they join FPC or not prior to more detail coming out). It gives a legal ruling for OTHER lawsuits taking place to point to as well (especially when coupled with recent rulings on bumpstocks and 80% lowers). Vendors might not start selling just yet, this points in the right direction. |

Quoted: Was Reagan the president in 1934? Did the ATF even exist in 1934? View Quote I have a feeling that some crack was smoked in the making of that post. What Reagan DID do, is sign the 1986 machine gun ban preventing additional MG’s from ever being added to the NFA registry. Which the NRA told him to sign because there were good parts to the law, and they were sure they could get the MG ban part thrown out in court later… and then they … didn’t |

Personally once the ATF technical group said it’s not a stock and is fine, and shouldering it doesn’t make it a stock and 40M were sold…. New legislation by congress to make it NFA should be required… not just the same dipshits in ATF that couldn’t make a consistent call to begin with.

The ATF is claiming that all brace equipped firearms were actually SBRs, if the barrel was less than 16" or if the OAL was less than 26". They aren't claiming that there are only SBR and rifle lowers as they have very clearly stated removing the brace makes the firearm a pistol. The claim that Trump had "two years to remove the NFA" is also ridiculous and lacks understanding of our political system. The Republicans lacked a filibuster proof majority and there was no way in hell that a Democrat would cross and join the Republicans on a pro gun rights bill. |

The entire point of the Founder's system of government was so that laws couldn't change significantly with every politically driven wind that blows. It's supposed to be hard. Congress delegating authority to federal agencies, particularly those that enforce criminal law, is an end run around their constitutional duty and responsibilities on top of taking powers that the constitution does not vest them with outside the US Marshals Service. |

I think the nfa and particularly the part regarding sbrs is completely retarded and unconstitutional. The SBR part was added to close a loophole in a pistol brace ban that never went in to effect but somehow you can still go to federal pound me in the ass prison for something far less concealable than a pistol which is perfectly legal. That said the ATF's place is not determining constitutionality of the law. There job is merely to enforce the law to the best of their understanding and ability. Forced reset triggers and bumpstocks etc all follow the letter of the law and the atf was correct in their original determination that those devices did not run afowl of the NFA. Pistol braces on the other hand or at least the vast majority of those approved should never have been approved in the first place. I remember the first prototype submitted, there was a thread on it here. The color design and material the brace was made from was such that it conceivably was just a brace and would have been nearly useless as a stock. Later iterations of braces were nearly indistinguishable from a stock and often barely functioned as braces. Of course the NFA is pretty nebulous when it comes to defining sbrs and what a stock is to the point that the definition of a pistol actually includes a short stock. 18 U.S.C., § 921(A)(29) and 27 CFR § 478.11 The term “Pistol” means a weapon originally designed, made, and intended to fire a projectile (bullet) from one or more barrels when held in one hand, and having: a chamber(s) as an integral part(s) of, or permanently aligned with, the bore(s); and a short stock designed to be gripped by one hand at an angle to and extending below the line of the bore(s). 2.1.3 Rifle. A rifle is a firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder and designed to use the energy of an explosive in a fixed cartridge to fire only a single projectile through a rifled barrel for each single pull of the trigger.11 A rifle subject to the NFA has a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length. 2.1.4 Weapon made from a rifle. A weapon made from a rifle is a rifle type weapon that has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length. What is real funny is you don't even get easy to reference links to the wording of the actual NFA if you google or look on the atfs website. the pistol definition above actually comes from us code but the rifle and weapon made from rifle definitions come from iternal atf docs. Judges and lawyers should have sorted and had this shit stricken years ago but go clown world. |

Thank God, reason prevails for now.
That abomination of regulatory law doesn't give meaning and effect to the law, but instead creates chaos and confusion. When the ATF director can't explain it you know it's a piece of #@$%.
