Interesting write up of U.S. v. Wright, in which the northern Ohio man was charged with a series of violations regarding pistol brace. The ATF alleges that he added parts created a Short Barreled-Rifle, which the defendant did not register - https://www.range365.com/atf-prosecu...vRrmJM8M11pwsw
The Prince law firm article about all this - https://blog.princelaw.com/2018/10/2...zaL9Nk3ah4a5oA
MOD EDIT: he was found NOT guilty.

I didn't see anything in the articles about if this was part of other charges? Why did they charge this guy? Lot's of braces out there. My guess is that they wanted him on something and this is what they could find, hoping that he might cop a plea.
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.

I read on another site that he'd modified the brace by adding some type of rubber pad with paracord. If true, he may have got lucky because IIRC their stance since the original Sig brace hit the market was no modifications could be made.
Another reason to repeal the NFA entirely and let people put whatever barrel length they want on whatever lower they want with no govt involvement.

In the blog it says the jury deliberated over lunch and found him not guilty.

I think the major problem here is the government/ATF lawyers fought against the defense showing the determination letters from the ATF that braces were "okay" to the jury.

Came here to see if this was posted.
I am curious to see "the rest of the story" Was this just one segment that wanted to try to screw somebody or is it part of a larger move to close so called loop holes.

Old and outdated. Time to be progressive and repeal NFA.

I wonder how many youtube videos he made featuring him shouldering his brace?
