View Quote A federal injunction against the unconstitutional rule (which redefines a brace as a stock, making a pistol an SBR) is all well and good. Except that it doesn't protect you from being prosecuted for shouldering a braced pistol. My former braced pistol is now an SBR , and I can put any stock I want on it, and shoulder it any time I want without being afraid of being fined and sent to prison because some overzealous prosecutor convinces a jury that I'm a vicious criminal. To me that makes it worth the intrusion (insofar as any easing of the pain the Constitutional violation the NFA is can ease that pain.) |

My time is severely limited right now but I will try to watch. If you do get to the end please post a quick Cliffnotes version ![]() Here is a good summary of the story: https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/fifth-circuit-issues-preliminary-injunction-blocking-brace-ban-enforcement-against-plaintiffs-in-mock-v-garland/ For those of you keeping score at home, back in May, a three-judge panel of the Northern District of Texas issued an emergency injunction blocking the ATF from enforcing its new rule effectively banning pistol stabilizing braces. The court concluded that not only were the plaintiffs in Mock v. Garland likely to win the case on the merits, but the rule the ATF issued bore no resemblance to the one it proposed and was hopelessly vague. As was later clarified, the ruling applied only to the named plaintiffs in the case, including Maxim Defense, its customers, and the Firearms Policy Coalition and its members. But that injunction was temporary, good only until an appeal could be heard. A number of other gun rights orgs got similar injunctive relief as well. The full District Court, however, took another view of Mock and denied a preliminary injunction, ruling the plaintiffs were not, in fact, likely to prevail. Refusing to take that as an answer, the Firearms Policy Coalition appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. A Fifth Circuit three-judge panel agreed that the plaintiffs are likely to win when the case is fully heard and sent it back down to the District Court. Late last night, the District Court issued a full preliminary injunction. As Judge Reed O’Conor wrote in his order . . . The Court finds that Mock, Lewis, and other individual FPC members are threatened with irreparable injuries in the absence of an injunction. The threats to individual FPC members are twofold: (i) sustaining permanent and nonrecoverable costs from their compliance with an unlawfully issued regulation; and (ii) suffering impairment of their fundamental right to keep and bear lawful arms in self-defense. The Court finds that such threats of irreparable harm posed by enforcement of the Final Rule are credible, imminent, and intertwined with one another. … The ATF’s own regulatory analysis concludes that the Final Rule has effectively reclassified 99% of all pistols with stabilizing braces to NFA rifles. Through seminal Final Rule adjudications, the ATF has already reclassified a whole host of specific weapons platforms and commercially available braced firearms to NFA rifles. Upon review of this record in conjunction with Plaintiffs’ declarations, there is no doubt that the Final Rule will subject both FPC members to criminal liability for currently possessing each of their braced pistols. The moment the Fifth Circuit’s injunction dissolves, Mock and Lewis will become felons because their braced pistols have become unregistered SBRs under the Final Rule’s reinterpretation of the NFA. Basically, this was the "official" decision after the Appeals Court kicked it back down and said....Good Guys will win, write it up as you see fit. So it applies to the named defendants only (including FPC members). But the key is that while it didn't make a final decision on the 2A point, it did push the issue hard. So it goes beyond just the APA violation, and it gets into braces being covered under the 2nd because they are clearly in common use for lawful purposes. He also mentions "braces or stocks" in one of the statements. |

I submitted two Form 1's on 5/8/2023. The first came back as approved today (10/10/2023). I'm ready for the second one to follow soon.

Technically, you can probably get away with it as an individual living in the 5th circuit. Some people think maybe even nation wide. I would keep hardcopies of any court rulings (O'Connel) you think override the official .gov published regulations on the topic. |

This should have been ignored, tossed, or at least minimal sentenced. I once inquired about how often a Fed case is a railroad job, like this. The answer I got back was somewhere around 1% - not often, not unheard of. So why did he get railroaded? Filling in blanks from I do know on how this works (and this is TOTAL out-of-my-ass crystal ball) - If I had to guess, the ICE criminal / informant, was probably related to trying to infiltrate a drug ring - FBI actually spends a good bit of time focusing on that. (and TBH, they actually aren't that bad at it). I'd give odds, the informant-snake was also an attractive female, who was very much trapped in a desperate situation herself, panic'd, and drowning-man going to do whatever it takes. Scorpion-Guy did some pretty dumb OPSEC by knowingly blatantly violating NFA (he knew the game); and then inviting random person to his house to run those direct NFA violations. Long haired creatures with an attractive smile, busts down dude's brains faster than any drug. Anyway, my guess is informant's handlers really weren't even focused on this, but when it fell into their lap from dude texting her; it's an easy stats pad conviction, and justification of how savvy you were at picking your informant agent you struck a deal with, because tadaa, it resulted in a conviction. Look how strategically wise I am - promote me. (beats the shit out of the alternative of: "Special Agent E'!? WTF? We wondered if you were a good hire, and here you are making informant deals with people we've busted; letting them go, wasting out time, and coming up with F'ing nothing! Keep this shit up and we're sending over to Secret Service Presidential Dog Management ![]() Why did the Prosecutor take the case? Because it was an easy win for him too. The evidence was so complete, this was a Tuesday morning slam dunk. If they have a pile of evidence making your case a clear and easy conviction, and your best card is "but I'm a good dude"; this isn't going to go well. Also, FWIW, a bench judge doesn't have near the autonomy you might think. I guarantee you that judge knew the dude was getting railroaded, and sometimes the judge will even pull a prosecutor aside and give him a "WTF man?". Rare, but sometimes. But the law on the books is the law, and so long as the upper courts are upholding it his hands are tied more than you might think. That's probably why he got railroaded. He still got railroaded though. This law needs to go away, and here's hoping O'Connel's start on that topic carries through. None of this is really related to arm-braces; which weren't involved (and the topic of this thread). But I will say, keep this as a reminder of what internet bravado really can mean for real people. Real people like you. A whole lot of people have said a whole lot of tuff-guy stuff from their keyboards on the SBR topic, and encouraged a lot of other people to do stuff in a manner I don't really think was such a good service to the best interests of their fellow AR15.com team members.. or that's my personal opinion. Fortunately, to date, I'm not aware of anyone railroaded on the armbrace topic.. yet. Even better, I don't actually expect to see that any time soon. the ones who manufacture/sell post Feb, '23, are the ones I'd advise to tread with great care right now (as in, probably best to just not do that right now). View Quote I pretty much came to the same general conclusion as you did. Yes, it was a stock but all it takes is an overzealous agent/prosecutor to decide your armbrace is a stock and proceed accordingly. Court cases/decisions be damned. They have unlimited taxpayer money to make your life miserable if they want with no repercussions. As some in the LE community have stated you may beat the rap but you can't beat the ride. May be totally unrelated but I believe there was an MS-13 gang member in another high-profile case who shared the same last name as Mr. Mejia. My biggest concern is this is exactly the kind of charge that could be used to coerce someone to become an informant etc. in exchange for making a charge go away. Of course, we've all seen that movie before. Think "Ruby Ridge" Missed the question about another thread about this case. Yes but it's archived I think and I can't find it now. |

I'm still confused about if the injunction granted by the fifth circuit is valid for the whole country or just the fifth, specifically the FPC membership people. Reading further, I've found two explanations for circuit court and where their decisions apply. Here's one. The arguments are if the decision has Binding authority or if has Pursuasive authority. Here's another paper that discusses Nationwide Injunctions.
Either the papers don't fully explain it, or my mind can't seem to grasp the answer to the question. Can someone explain it to me in 8th grader language that I can present to others. Thanks in advance. |

Are braces now contraband/subject to confiscation if not registered? Are their only two options, either register = safe, or don’t register be a criminal? An armbrace on a <16" barreled firearm has now been redefined by the ATF as a configuration of a shoulder fired weapon, and subject to SBR regulations. If you possess a firearm so configured, and are discovered, it will be viewed as an NFA violation and they have publicly and officially declared their intent to enforce it as such. Of the great many suits filed; one district judge in Texas says he doesn't agree. And has given a temporary reprieve from enforcement for some people with some brands of units. That other judges may or may not agree with. ATF has not recanted or updated their declaration of intent to enforce. To date, there has been no enforcement; though the industry as a whole has done a complete Cease and Desist on the whole topic. After that judge's announcement, I have yet to find a manufacturer or FFL who trusts his decision to have enough weight to resume manufacture and sale. We shall see. To your question - for now, my expectation is few people with pre-existing units are likely for much harassment on the topic ... right now that is. Unless you make yourself otherwise interesting. If you have one and chose to run it, I doubt ATF will come find you.... for now. Nobody here made this rule or cheered it on. |

Pretty good summation ^^^
As far as the brace, even AFT indicates in their directive that it is okay to put a brace on a rifle with a 16" or longer barrel so I do not see how they can enforce posession of a brace as a crime. Unless you get called out on a public range or shoot somebody with your braced "pistol" there is literally no likelyhood of being prosecuted. Well, unless you unwittingly invite an AFT agent to shoot privately with you..... |

But trying to clarify for myself further, it is my understanding that the weapon is the issue and the brace is merely a stock.
