Quote HistoryQuoted: There is no way in hell they would give out member lists to those tyrants Prior to that, the agent working the case will serve them with an order to preserve those records, and also a gag order to not disclose the ongoing investigation, under penalty of law, signed by a federal judge. Some of you guys don't understand how data in the US works, when it comes to the feds. Anyway, this is way "into the weeds" so to speak. The reality is they're not going to care who's a member and who isn't. We're all pretty much going to "ride the wave" on this issue, however it pans out in a 5-10 year timeframe. That's how case law works. |

A member list is useless since it would not say who owns a brace or not, and this case will be heard in the merits in a few weeks anyway, so there is no need to go after such a list right now. Plus, going after such a list would be tantamount to a list of "probable gun owners", which would be illegal (not that they care). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: In a nutshell, that is very accurate. Complete and total clusterfuck. Only govt can mess stuff up this bad. lol The simplest solution to this is to just take SBRs off the NFA registry. Problem solved. There's no reason for them to be regulated as such. They're only on the registry because of the government's failure to remove them when handguns were removed from the NFA registry (1934) at the last minute. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A bill in congress means nothing. Biden would never sign it and they do not have the votes to override a veto in the Senate. This is only going to be resolved in the federal appeals courts. Exactly. It's just pandering that will go nowhere. We needed pro gun bills when Republicans had control of the house, senate and the Presidency. |

From what I understand it actually does not need the presidents signature because it deals with a rule change interpretation and not a new law, it just has to pass both houses. |

On a side note the brace ban issue made me renew a while back with NAGR, FPC, GOA and SAF.
Today I was advised I won the giveaway for NAGR as a frontline defender (type of membership). So not only has it paid off with the injunction I won a Springfield M1A. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's definitely not definitely illegal. Rifle specific sights/scope would make it technically illegal. Practically, it's very, very unlikely to even get a second look considering everything else that's still going on and will be for years. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Has it been announced if the buffer tube with foam on the end is illegal on a pistol? It's definitely not definitely illegal. Rifle specific sights/scope would make it technically illegal. Practically, it's very, very unlikely to even get a second look considering everything else that's still going on and will be for years. On page 26 of the Factoring Criteria document they do mention a foam padded stabilizer tube. One company in 2014 submitted a “Pistol Overmold Kit” with a “foam padded stabilizer tube” intended to accommodate a Glock-type pistol and requested a classification of the firearm to determine if it would be regulated under the NFA. The company likened its product to installing a receiver extension/buffer tube on an AR type pistol, a configuration that FATD had earlier decided was not a shoulder stock when installed on that type of firearm and did not result in a change of that pistol’s classification. However,FATD concluded that the “foam padded stabilizer tube” served “no legitimate, functional purpose other than to extend additional contact surface rearward” on Glock-type pistols and therefore would result in the manufacture of a “short-barreled rifle.”30 30 That section talks about a Glock and not an AR so there's that. But, using their logic, the foam padding serves no functional purpose other than increasing the rearward contact area at the end of the buffer tube which has only one purpose, to shoulder the weapon. Thus, the weapon meets the design criteria of a rifle therefore it's an SBR. There's also a section that talks about "cheek welding"(pp 78-79) where they try to make the case that the user is within inches of shouldering the weapon. In this section the pictures show people using braces as cheek rests and not foam padding. However, I'd agree with kzin that, practically, it's very unlikely to draw attention but we all have to make our own interpretation and choices. Just as with filing taxes, if you choose take a position on something you should be able to defend it. To me, the foam padding is enough of a grey area, pending further clarification about what criteria they'll be using to go after people who kept their pistols as pistols, that I removed mine. YMMV. |
