ATF Prosecutes Ohio Man for AR Pistol with Brace

[ABNAK]

OF COURSE this guy was an LPVO gay!

I wasn't gonna say that, but......

Surprised he didn't have a bipod on that damn thing!

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.

Not everybody wants an SBR. Ask the ATF for permission to take my Short barrelled AR across state lines? Wait months and months for a response? Tax stamps, special paperwork, asking permission. All bullshit. No thanks. I'll take an AR pistol all day long.

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.

Amen and think of the money and time and STRESS this guy and his family endured over nothing!! Which is why I SBR all my shit and toss my braces, I should not have to but....it would suck so effing bad to get in this shithole.

Yes, his butt pad is the cap from a cane.

Just when you thought you’d seen everything. There it is, the Glock 40 problem solver, AR pistol edition.

I am very surprised this guy was charged with a crime. The ATF brought the case to an Assistant US Attorney, presumably after he posted pics of his ghetto blaster on line. They don't make independent charging decisions .It is not easy to get a federal prosecutor to approve charges. Our federal government has a 96+ percent conviction rate because they cherry pick their cases. This one was a loser.

As mentioned in previous posts, this defendant is probably financially screwed for life. That seems very unfair

I have not yet jumped on the AR pistol bandwagon. If I do I will keep ATF approval letters handy and will not modify the brace in any way.

It looks like the AFG would interfere with a mag?

BADish lever
45degree safety
AAA cell flashlight
Laser
1-6 optic
KX3?
Skull lower
After-market trigger, of course.

That is; inspired.

Where is the ambi mag release? I feel cheated!

No grayer than a regular brace. SB Tactical (inventor of the brace) works very closely with the ATF on the subject. Anyone that has actually used a brace as intended would far prefer an adjustable length of pull vs the set length.

I meant all AR braces are in a gray area.

If you SMR something, you are now on the ATF radar and they know right where to go to confiscate it if the Democrat's would have their way sometime in the future. No thanks, I'll pass.

At least he gave that abomination a name , good grief I cant unseen that thing.

Oh my, that thing should have been aborted.

Still fascinated as to what led to his arrest initially, this is typically the real face palm moments in these cases.
