    I would leave and never return to a range who asked to see my stamps. But, I don't go to staffed ranges so it really isn't a problem for me anyway.

    I think it’s going to be buffer tube or SBR.

    But hey, maybe someone will sell a shooting shirt with a reinforced armpit neoprene band sewn in... so that a buffer tube will still be pleasant to shoulder?
    Dugan Ashley was way ahead of his time in many ways. We were living in 2014 and he was living in 2021.

    In all this all-around sadness, this is awesome. We already have a junk carry pillow from the Mastermind, we now need a pistol buffer pillow. For tactical dudes, bilateral in case of around left side of a barricade..
    Doesn't read posts longer than two paragraphs.

    Don’t care…….. doesn’t affect me one bit. Do I have firearms that may be subject to such rules? I dunno. Get a warrant, and come find out.

    And bring a big fucking lunch……. I’m not a woman, or a child; the only two demographics the ATF is capable of winning against.
    You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.

    Think about this for a minute. Do you really want this Congress and President rewriting any firearms laws? If this was 2017, this might be a valid solution. But then, we all know about the success of the Hearing Protection Act.

    The same way the NFA is enforced now.

    Ambiguous, unenforceable, and massive non compliance, I predict.
    There'd be no "papers" for a braced firearm. To be legal, it would either be a braced pistol that meets the requirements in the proposed rule, and therefore not have any NFA registration requirement, or it would be an SBR. If it was an SBR, even someone who had disability that the arm brace was designed to help, would use a shoulder stock instead of an arm brace.

    They wouldn’t need to rewrite any existing law. It’s as simple as a bill signed into law that allows a grace period during which the fee for the tax stamp is waived for all Form 1 applications to create SBRs. Make the grace period a year or something and during that year don’t enforce the NFA for any braced pistols that fail the chart point system. Once the grace period is over, it’s back to business as usual and the NFA is enforced as written again until we can repeal that nonsense.

    If they’re going to redefine braced pistols as SBRs after telling people for years that it was okay to buy them, assemble them, and even shoulder them, the least they can do is waive the tax when they force people to register them as NFA items.

    Is that why WA has that law? For poaching? Stupid.

    Yes, dates back many years.

    Industry always attempts to adapt around the law. Sometimes it is very obvious. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/mar...-flna1c7100983

    If the government wants to prohibit braces, they should amend the GCA and NFA.
    You have pointed out a problem with our government across the board from the EPA to the FAA to the FCC to the ATF, regulatory agencies are allowed to enact regulations that have the force of law - which is supposed to be the responsibility of the legislative branch, IIRC.

    I don't see this as a 'first they came for the braces....' moment. SBR's are illegal, it apparently became too obvious for the ATF to pretend the vast majority of braces were anything but SBR work arounds, so they are making a course correction. Yes, it sucks, but see the paragraph above, it's the way things work. Maybe if fewer dumb asses had spread themselves all over social media shouldering braces the 'wink, wink' could have continued.

    So as far as the braces go, I'm not going to get too wound up about it, nor do I feel it is an overwhelming attack on our liberties, we have bigger things to worry about at the present.

    And, reference amending the GCA and the NFA, we should be careful what we wish for, things could be much, much, worse.
    Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
