ATF has posted their proposed brace rules.

I wonder how many people bought these braced pistols in good faith, don't do crimes and are not online gun forum junkies? How many of these people even have heard of the ATF ruling on these things, and how many of these people will even realize that they own contraband that could make them instant criminals?

I am sure in the near future they will use the same convoluted, arbitrary point system when it comes time to “regulate assault weapons”.

[OH58D]

Looking at the point system criteria, I remember seeing lots of Thompson Center Arms competition pistols over the years with scopes and bi-pods. Would these also fall under these new regulations?

There are going to be a hell of a lot of folks that fall into that category. Not to mention the millions of short barrel uppers that are already out there making potential felons of the uninformed.

It really shouldn't be this easy to earn 10 years in prison.

Oh man, they've gone and done it now. I'm going to vote SO HARD in 2022... SO HARD.

I might even go for the jugular (theoretically speaking) and send them and my representatives a stern and articulate email voicing my displeasure.

Then, for good measure, I will rant about the ordeal on Facebook and make sure everyone in my echo chamber understands my stance for the 1000th time.

Of course, I'll then have to post another rant about my previous rant having been deleted by Facebook, just so they know I'm no quitter.. until they completely delete my account permanently, of course..

(This is all so tiresome).

It is. But we all need to comment and definitely harass our representatives. Senators, even those in the minority, can create endless hassle for the agencies so we need to let them know this is incredibly important to us.

We need to reach out to our Senators and ask them to stop this unconstitutional nonsense.

[marco.g]

Didn’t we do that a few months ago in regards to this proposal? Didn’t they shut comments down after only a couple weeks?

We need to stop giving them legitimacy. The stoners didn’t get legalization by writing letters to the DEA.

[rocsteady]

As far as I know, the only way to object is through these damn comment periods so unless you've got a better plan, I'd get started having everyone you know go ahead and play the game, write the comment, call their representatives and encourage others to do the same. No reason that everyone on here can't get 10 people they know to take a few minutes out of their days to voice their displeasure via email or phone. I know it's borderline retarded, but if people spent as much time rallying their peers to voice their opinions as we all do writing and reading on gun forums, we'd bury these politicians and the damn ATF with the numbers of Americans that are sick of watching the left win at everything.

Put it this way if it gets people going: if you don't bother to do these things then Biden, Harris, Feinstein, Schumer, AOC, Nadler, Merrick Garland and the rest of these people that hate you and everything you hold dear, will get another win. We lose. Again. I'm tired of losing anything to these nitwits and I don't want to give them the satisfaction of winning anything... ever.

I read somewhere that between 3 million and 7 million braced pistols have been sold. I don't see how all of these owners are going to be notified, and there is going to be so much confusion and irritation caused, this could end up being a giant fiasco that is unenforceable.
