Shenanigans like this are a major reason why I don't trust them and why I think pistol braces are on borrowed time. Legal today, illegal tomorrow. The ATF is just too inconsistent and turns on a whim it seems. And what they put in a letter is only good as long as they adhere to it.
OF COURSE this guy was an LPVO gay!

Anyone know how he came to the attention of the ATF?
No lawyer, but they were playing a word game. A cane tip on an extension tube is ok. A cane tip on a brace = modifying the brace. Per the latest letter you can shoulder a brace in its unaltered approved form or something to that effect.
It was a stupid charge to file and glad the jury saw through the bs.
Here's what the article says
"Toledo police responded to a domestic disturbance*call*in March at the home of Kelland and Christina Wright. Mr. Wright, a*Marine*veteran, allegedly threw a cell*phone*at his wife and was arrested. As a part of an arrest for a domestic violence complaint, police confiscated all*firearms*in the home, including an*AR*pistol*equipped with the Maxim cheek*rest.
When the*gun*was subsequently examined by the ATF, they deemed it an unregistered short*barrel*rifle*(SBR). That determination was based on the fact that, according to the ATF’s measurements, the Maxim cheek*rest*— which had been altered with the addition of a rubber “cane tip” on the end — resulted in a length of pull that’s greater than the 13.5-inch limit the ATF says is the maximum for any similar*AR*pistol*accessory."

You know, I just don't see a reason to call the Police anymore, it would actually have to be a Life or Death event to involve them in to my life.
I've talked with folks from the BATFE at one time when I was trying to get some information on a SBR, the irony is of the two calls I made, there was wildly diverging opinions given to me over the phone as far as information.
This is an agency that's existence is no longer relevant.
This coming from YOU of all people? Seriously? Mr. Freedom himself? C'mon man, jeez!
No thanks on the SBR. Don't particularly care to get an ATF permission slip to cross a state boundary, or wait 6+ months, or go through the BS of fingerprinting/LEO signoff/photo. Sleep well at night until one day they tell you to hand it over.....and you can't deny having that. Other guns may or may not "disappear" but there's no saying "I sold it at a gun show" with an NFA item.
All that said, that guy should have been charged for the idiocy of that abortion he put together.
