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.

This. All day long. What the hell difference does it make if my barrel is 16" or 15"? Or 10"? Stupid stupid law.Originally Posted by Five_Point_Five_Six

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.
I am part of that power which eternally wills evil, and eternally works good.

Every government employee that was involved in prosecuting this law abiding citizen on these stupid technicalities needs to be fired. What a ridiculous waste of time, money and resources.

The 'pistols' with braces are an interesting option for those of us in states where the CCW is restricted to just handguns. Though I don't doubt that a Denver cop would crap himself if I had a Zenith MP5 clone with a brace slung under my jacket.

That's the only reason to have an AR pistol, well- that and you can keep an AR pistol with a round chambered in the vehicle while transporting as well. Not so much for a rifle or Long gun.
I'm all for Abolishing the NFA. I'm all for abolishing 90% of the Federal alphabet agencies in existence as well.
