I was thinking the same thing. Why blame the video maker:confused: Its not like it was illegal to shoulder a brace, or use a bump stock.
Re: Pistol Brace Executive Order
No of course it's not technically illegal. But given the times in which we live, it's poking the bear. And that's fine too - it's always great to push the envelope until someone needs to come up with the money for legal fees.
I feel pretty confident that all this brace rule bullshit could be trashed if deep pockets decided to fight it. But I know I don't have those deep pockets and probably most of us don't. Meanwhile I don't see any organizations taking this on at the moment. So that's where we are right now.
You can accuse me of victim blaming or whatever you want, but i pretty much think most youtube videos are stupid and made by narcissists who want people to "look at me! look at me!" Well, people looked at them. The wrong people. The same wrong people who are probably reading everything we write here.
I'm not going to be argumentative. If I'm offending you, sorry about that. But I thijk what i think and you can think what you think.

My guess is either deep pockets know they can't win because we all know that braces are just to circumvent sbr tax/stamp/wait times, or this is unlikely to make any headway, so unless this actually gets some teeth, and we have ground to stand on, deep pockets sits in a dark corner. They know, for sure. There just isn't anything to act on yet.
Re: Pistol Brace Executive Order
Shouldering braces... It was legal before it was illegal which was before it was legal again, which proceeded it being "sort of" legal.
Try and keep up.

Re: Pistol Brace Executive Order
I want to hear how a brace makes a pistol more dangerous to the public. And extra points for a real life example of how it has happened.

NFA is NFA.
I think braces themselves may become classified as NFA. ATF will say they have only one purpose: SBR.

Stop with the logic. That has no place in their argument.
And remember how lack of bayonet lugs and pistol grips drastically reduced shootings and stabbings?

It's not more dangerous to the public, it's more dangerous to the complete douchebags that populate all of our bureaucracies and get paid a lot more than I to invent all these stupid rules out of thin air. It's dangerous to them because they find the idea of an armed populace threatening, and they find the concept of freedom threatening. they also probably feel threatened and affronted when someone has the ingenuity to work around their dumbass rules.

Come on man... You've seen all those movies of the gangsters rolling in on their 1934 Ford Deluxe Sedans, opening their overcoats and pulling out a sawed-off and spraying the coppers..
If it hangs out below your overcoat, you're good-to-go...
