ATF Brace Rule

I definitely don't own anything like this, and if I did, at some point in the past, it would have been lost at sea in my last boating accident when I lost all of my firearms. Truly tragic, and I highly discourage taking your firearms out when fishing.

ATF Ruling on Pistol Braces 2023

The ATF’s newest pistol brace ruling may force gun owners to register their firearms or face felony charges, stay up to date with ATF Rule 2021R-08F here.

Anyone deal with this yet? I'm waiting for silencershop to update their form to accept the tax-exempt stamp as that seems to be the easiest way, since they handle most of the application and you can do fingerprints at one of their kiosks. Deadline to get it done is 5/31/23.

I've heard some people holding out as there is potential litigation but I'm not sure how likely that is.

I was at a very large retailer outside Atlanta last week and they said it’s still a mess they said it’s not legal but it’s not illegal. I have a SBR due to a short stock but don’t have any of these.

^ Funny enough I also had a tragic boat accident and lost my bump stock, ironically at the same time I proactively lost my guns with pistol braces. Let’s go Brandon.

It's like they have an unnatural attraction to the water, it bogles my mind how often it happens, yet how relatively unaware us previous firearm owners are to the phenomenon.

I was in a local shop yesterday and a customer came in to register his. The owner told him to wait and wouldn't take his money to register it even though for 10 minutes of work he would have made a nice fee.

Sounds like someone I'd be sure to give my business to.

When I applied for my CPL they took fingerprints. They used the old fashioned fingerprint cards circa 1920s. I got a call ~30 days later to pick it up, they handed me the card back so I asked the sheriff “why not in today’s day and age use computers for this?” The look the sheriff gave me both answered the question and humbled me quickly with a Face-Palm. “You really want future bad actors in government to have your information in a registry??” And I live in what would be described as a blue area of WA.

simple fact of the matter is not a single gun nor stock nor firearm accessory I own has ever committed a crime, so I abhor those who think my ownership of them makes me a felon.

Why register your firearms? Teenagers in Chicago, NYC and LA illegally USE firearms to commit crimes and don’t go to jail.

^ let’s be clear, they are not the ones to stand in the way of totalitarian government power grabs; gun-, God-, and family- loving conservative, hard working non-criminals are, however. That is exactly why the criminal elements are largely left alone but legit gun owners are targeted for “gun control” laws.

The only way I would register a firearm is if there was a mandatory 10 year prison sentence for anyone that stole the firearm(irrelevant of age, gender or citizenship)
