The new ATF director ought to have to testify and explain to Congress the difference between a legal AR pistol and an illegal NFA rifle. Wonder if he would do better than when he tried to describe what an assault rifle was.

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I tend to agree that there are many folks who were uninformed about the brace legality/illegality issues and that they are at risk by this action.
That being said, the manufacturers knew fvcking well what they were doing, so I shed no tears for them.
I do agree that most of the NFA has little impact on actual criminality, so we need to try to get the portions that we have a reasonable chance of changing, changed.
Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
I am glad that my DDM4 V7P was document-ably equipped with a pistol RE, with no potential rifle “features,” of its own, while being manufactured, as I, too, have been thinking that “pistols” manufactured with carbine REs might end up being legal problems, for folks who bought them. (Of course, my DDM4 V7P may have too many points, in other ways, such as the massive added “LOP” due to having a LAW folder, so may end up living as a rifle, anyway, if I want to keep the LAW folder installed, either as an NFA SBR, or, transitioning to non-NFA.)
Retar’d LE. Kinesthetic dufus.
Don’t tread on volcanos!
Seems to me they were just building legal products to sell to background-checked customers. Now, If they were funneling guns to Mexico, that would be wrong. The fact that the agency which perpetrated that bullshit will be the one to send me to jail over a piece of aluminum makes me wish I was 30 years younger.
Any legal information I may post is general information, and is not legal advice. Such information may or may not apply to your specific situation. I am not your attorney unless an attorney-client relationship is separately and privately established.
That is a great point. I'm not saying the ATF is right or rational, just that the manufacturers knew that their braces were workarounds.
The part's of NFA that I think we could reasonably hope to impact are length and and sound suppression.
Probably get the suppressors first - if there was a national ad campaign with commercials depicting the sound of a suppressed versus an un-suppressed rifle and pistol, most citizens would get the point that they don't actually silence the weapon.
I think MG's are a bridge too far.
I know many believe the NFA is unconstitutional on it's face, but at the present it is the law.

Again, just because something is a "workaround" doesn't mean that the government can prohibit it without statutory change.
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.
