ATF Just Released Their Brace Ruling

[akley88]

There's lots of speculation on other forums that it hasn't dropped yet because the ATF wanted us to expose all the holes in their sloppy "rule" so that they can "correct" them before publishing it.

this wouldn't surprise me but it would surely be a shit move and show how rushed and badly thought out this "rule" was.

Yeah, it should have been perfectly clear like "You can shoulder those. Wait - now you can't. Wait - now you can... sort of. Wait - now it's an SBR no matter what."

There was also a video posted on another forum, where a guy in what appears to be a cop uniform, claims he's buddies with an ATF agent, and says there's internal pushback from agents who bought pistols braced from the store. I was just looking for this video on the other forum to post it here, and now it's been marked private on youtube (might've had to do with the fact that if he is actually a cop, he probably shouldn't be doing youtube videos while in uniform). Who the hell knows.

I also was thinking that there has to be federal, state and local law enforcement, in addition to politicians that personally bought imported braced pistols. The claim that they are now illegal if the pistol ever came in contact with an arm brace is absurd. I don't think it will sit well with the aforementioned.

I guess that means their opinions don't either then

Pretty sure I came across that video and if it's the one I'm thinking of the guy pissed me off. He acted like he was for the people and against the rule, but then mentioned something about no special exemption for law enforcement basically saying they'd lose their shit too. I took it as if there was an exemption for law enforcement he really could give two shits about the situation.

im a firm believer that there should never be an exemption for law enforcement. i can understand there being department owned weapons but the personal exemption should not be there. if your off duty you have the exact same rights as anyone else. this is why so many cops in liberal cities seem fine with these rules cause they always get a carve out for themselves.
