New ATF rule in effect

[Lumpy]

What's going on with pistol braces? Are they really all now SBRs? Does simply removing the brace make it a legal pistol again?

Nothings changed as of yet. People think the AFT is scheduled to publish the final rule in December. It sounds like they are planning an 'amnesty' and trying to force people to register them as SBRs.

Here's a pretty good update. Run time is about 12 minutes.

My silly question. If you pistol’s brace falls off while shooting off your boat in the middle of lake. Is it not still a pistal?

Federal Judge Grants Injunction Blocking Enforcement of ATF’s ‘Frame or Receiver’ Rule
By Dan Zimmerman -March 3, 2023

From the Second Amendment Foundation . . .

A federal judge in Texas has granted a preliminary injunction against the federal government’s enforcement of the final rule regarding partially manufactured firearm parts and kits in a case known as VanDerStok v. Garland, which challenged the authority of the Justice Department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to regulate items that are not firearms, as if they were firearms.

“This is a huge victory,” said Alan Gottlieb, founder and executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, which was allowed to intervene in the case last summer, along with Defense Distributed, a Texas-based company. “The court’s preliminary determination is pretty straightforward, and it notes that SAF and Defense Distributed are likely to succeed on the merits of their case against the receiver rule.”
