You can shoulder arm braces. Again. (ATF arm brace reversal stuff)

Just saw this pop on youbtube and figured, since I hadn't seen anything on here so far. I'd post it to see thoughts.

Now my question is, can I strap a mag carrier or two onto a blade or brace without some "Shoelace = Machinegun" butterknife-on-the-scalpel-tray deciding that turns it into a stock?

Here comes the second coming of the AR pistol.

I think the more we undermine the left's position on guns with the shoulder thing that goes up, the better.

Too late bro, I already faxed, email, snail mail, telegramed, and facebooked them just to verify.

I'm only joking, but I'm sure there are members of TOS that are already on this.

You can shoulder your SIG brace now. Amazingly enough the ATF makes a logically rationale decision!

Amazing. I have long said that the ATF was wrong and misuse the definition of redesigned when they stated that merely shouldering a Sig brace made a short barrel rifle or short barreled shotgun.

As is typical for the ATF Tech Branch, their rulings are often in comprehensible and not based upon rational logic. In this particular case, if you had followed their rulings logic shooting a handgun with two hands redesigned it into an illegal, unregistered aw. As is obvious to anyone reading this, that is absolutely silly.

Finally comedy makers of the Shockwave brace have been able to get the ATF to reverse its decision and use the correct definition of redesign. This results in a more rational and logically consistent result.

So as I've been saying for 2 years, you are not going to go to jail for shoulder and your Sig brace. While I recommend that you register the weapon as an SBR, this revised ruling confirms that you may shoulder the pistol without fear of being harassed.

“an NFA firearm has not necessarily been made when the device is not reconfigured for use as a shoulder stock – even if the attached firearm happens to be fired from the shoulder. To the extent that the January 2015 Open Letter implied . . .*
