    Not the last word but maybe the most entertaining from Brandon Herrera on this topic. He has got 2+ million YouTube subscribers and something to say for just about everything. He says he is not a lawyer so if you are affected by this new ATF rule be a responsible and lawful gun owner and do what is right (best???) for you.

    In this video [Brandon will go over arm braces, the ATF’s new rule, and what that means for all formerly legal brace owners.

    I didn't watch it.

    What difference do braces make to AR pistol owners?

    1. I am not a lawyer nor do I recommend doing anything with anything.

    2. One of the takeaways from Brandon's vid is that, as he points out, the penalties for not "registering" your once legal pistol with an arm brace are the same as:
    a. Putting a stock on a firearm that has a barrel less than 16 inches/ 26 inch OAL.
    b. Employing the use of a drill press.

    Nope, just the added perspective. I don't think there is going to be any new information until this "rule" actually drops and we get more "clarification" from our all-knowing betters at the ATF.

    You won’t get any clarification from ATF until they start enforcement actions beginning as soon as 61 days after the rule is published.

    That is the impact study they published at the same time.
    Quote from that: "ATF estimates the number of “stabilizing braces” sold to be 3 million."

    I think they are un-aware of how big a bear they are poking.
    From page 19: "ATF now estimates that, between 2013 to 2020, a total of 77.1 million firearms, of which 32.4 million pistols, were manufactured in the United States."

    That is like 1/5 the NICS checks here: file:///C:/Users/SBCou/Downloads/NICS_Firearm_Checks_-_Month_Year.pdf

    Even more evidence they are picking low numbers. HMMMM.

    And anyone thinks the ATF has any integrity at all? Facts? We don't need no stinkin' facts!

    Now it is published. Gonna wait at least 30 days before deciding any actions are I know some are prepared for filing already.

    Wednesday, May 31, 2023 is the last day on tax stamp forbearance if anybody is going to go down that path.

    ATF can being enforcement actions on Saturday, April 1, 2023.

    Patience is advised.
