ATF Prosecutes Ohio Man for AR Pistol with Brace

Jury Nullification

Id actually love to hear an atf agent try to explain to a clueless jury what is legal and what is not (with pics)... then explain why the defendant needs to go to jail for 10 years.

I am imagining the jury deliberating, all confused as hell, leading to ^^^^^^

The main thing that bothers me about the ATF is that the legislative branch of our government is supposed to make our laws. It's up to law enforcement agencies to uphold/enforce them. The ATF gets to interpret some of our firearm laws. They shouldn't get to do that.

JMHO, NYH1.

What about the fore grip on that turd? Just my opinion, and I believe the NFA is bullshit, but it’s currently the law. The AR pistol thing is going to F us in the ass. As these are used in a mass shooting more and more, the general public doesn’t distinguish between a pistol or an AR, it’s an AR. Sooner or later the D’s will be back in power and whether it’s though new laws or adding justices to the SCOTUS, they are going after guns. The line bluring between rifles and pistols will make it easier to come after all semi autos.

ATF says angled fore grips are kosher on a pistol. The collapsing extension as a brace is a hard sell.

AR "pistols" with braces are the new "must have" and every owner knows they are at the gray edge of the law.

Either SBRs will become so common that the tax stamp requirement is removed, or the ATF will change their rulings on braces.

The 'tard is strong in the AR "pistol" world as shown above, it won't be long before some asshat shoots up a mall or gay bar with one and forces the ATF's hand.

This. Braces are the bump stocks of tomorrow. Bad juju. Just go through the process to get a legal SBR and sleep well at night.

It looks like a something a rural meth head would put together for a PDW after seeing Snake Plisskin's Coreburner in Escape From L.A.

Someone should photoshop “neckbeard” on that instead of “blackbeard”.

That said, Pistol braces are not gray areas, IMO. The only gray is how the ATF interprets.
The idea that one concealable firearm is completely normal and fine, but a functionally identical “concealable firearm” needs a tax stamp is an issue with the laws, not the law-abiding citizens owning them.
