ATF withdraws interpretative rule on "wrist braces"
Notice here. Not that I ever gave a hoot. If ATF ever gets my sympathy, it is when they must interpret a 70+ year old statute with arbitrary provisions (who cares how long a rifle's barrel is? Did even the 1930s mobsters whack each other with rifles?) to American ingenuity.

Probably just a tactical withdrawal. If Harris ends up in the White House I'd expect to see the same proposal re-announced almost immediately.
I always give a hoot when the tyranny is ratcheted up a notch. Any such law, especially one that will be decided on a "case by case" basis, is nothing more than a fishing and F-YOU license. Do a search, find an AR pistol, find a 1-4x scope, and lo and behold, when the evidence is presented the optic is mounted on the pistol. With the way they interpret the law maybe just having the two would be enough.
Also, Clyde Barrow favored a BAR with a shortened stock and barrel. I think that might have something to do with the SBR/SBS rule. They (B&C) were killed in May 1934, and the NFA passed 6/26/34.
Michael I Hope to Write about the National Firearms Act. Awesome what You just Said!
Wrangler5 Biden & Harris have to Tread VERY Carefully with Super Thin Majorities in Both Houses.
Would we even be talking about this subject if the AR design didn't have the recoil buffer tube sticking out of the upper receiver?
As far as I can tell, that's the only reason a wrist brace exists in the first place.
"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction," is a law of psychology and probably politics, not just physics. By now the fiasco of "angry white men" voting in one they believed was their own kind ought to be obvious, as was the NRA's endorsement. I am always amazed at the lack of judgment shown by voters and their parties, but even more by the Republic's ability to somehow survive such execrable decisions. On the other hand, who amongst the general public has shown any interest in learning from this experience? We all hope for the best. When has it ever occurred?

Didn't Bonnie and Clyde use sawn-off BARs and other rifles?
