New BATF ruling on stabilizing braces today

[Tombs]

If you fail the check that means you are a prohibited person, so it doesn't matter if the rifle you have has been made into an SBR yet or not, you are a felon (or other prohibited person) in possession of a firearm. How do they handle that now?

Yes it does matter. The former was sold to you after completing a 4473, to the best of your knowledge you are legal to possess a firearm.

If you get declined on an NFA application, when you're already in possession of an NFA firearm, you're unlawfully in possession of an NFA item and the ATF now has evidence to pursue you. And if they do pursue you, you will lose your firearms rights entirely.

How do they handle that? Ask the people at Waco... Oh wait, they're dead.

Dont hold your breath. All three branches of .gov have let them for a decade or more.
Lets hope that suddenly changes. (But I wont hold my breath because good conservatives are afraid to vote against crap like this because "for the children". (as they will be vilified by the leftitsts and therefore afraid they wont be re-elected)

Plus, the guys with guns and handcuffs won’t care if the reason they are arresting you was done via bureaucrat or by congress. You won’t get a more comfy jail cell and will probably have your life turned upside down just the same. The people that do this stuff know it’s not a bug in the system, it’s a feature they like to exploit.

Boy, this just keeps getting better and better (assuming this interpretation is correct).

I keep trying to tell people that they can't comply their way out of this, but it keeps falling on deaf ears.

Maybe this might get the neurons firing.

SOME might get to comply. Many wont.

This just in. Rifles with Russian walnut stocks are now illegal. Romoving the stocks won't remove the violation.

 

[bwframe]

I wonder where the legal challenges are on this? Do they have to wait on the official date of publication in the Federal Register?

Yes. You cant sue until its official.

Just like you cant sue your neighbor for hitting you until he does, even though he promised he will do it soon.

 

[Dim Mak]

I like what Mike Glover Actual has to say about all of this. He says **** the ATF too.

 

[Sigblitz]

Well, his 300 blackout had the optic on backwards.

i Am starting to think they might not be our friends.

Ya think…maybe ?

 

[Expat]

Ya think…maybe ?

It is really starting to look that way, I hope I am just not misunderstanding what they are up to.

Certainly you are misreading their intentions

 

[bobzilla]

Certainly you are misreading their intentions

Absolutely. They never change their opinions on rulings. It’s not like they are being led by anti gun anti freedom asshkkes or anything.

Military Arms Channel posted a video this morning on YouTube. It is about how imported pistols after removal of the brace will not be 922R compliant and will have to be destroyed. Page 247 in the rule. I tried to post a link, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Try the "media" button, if you don't see it click the 3 dots by insert image.

 

[KellyinAvon]

That was painful. Paging any of our attorneys: isn't ex post facto still a thing?

 

[Sigblitz]

I thought import parts kits have to have a certain percentage of domestic parts.
