    What happens if the ATF changes rulings on something you have?

    There's been so much chatter lately about the Sig pistol brace, it makes me wonder.

    What happens if the ATF changes its mind and rules that thing (or any other thing for that matter) is no longer legal?

    Will the thousands of those that are already on the street become illegally acquired NFA items overnight?

    IMHO it doesn't do any good to speculate on theoreticals, but it won't be the first time ATF has changed their minds about the legality of something after approving it.

    What happened in the past to those folks who purchased items that were later reclassified?

    To answer your question. No. Just remove the brace and its like any other pistol carbine.

    Yes, just like the Akins Accelerator. So you either comply and re-configure to be legal, or risk the consequences.

    At least open bolt semi's such as RPB MACs and KG9s got grandfathered.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
