ATF Attempting To Reclassify Brace Equipped Firearms
|
|
On December 18th, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) posted Objective Factors for Classifying Weapons with “Stabilizing Braces” for public comment on the Federal Register. The notice proposes to list "objective criteria" for determining the classification of pistol-type firearms equipped with stabilizing braces - an accessory commonly referred to as a pistol brace that is used by millions of law-abiding gun owners. If implemented as currently drafted, many, if not all, of the millions of pistol-type firearms would be required to be registered as short-barreled rifles under the NFA.
At its core, ATF’s proposal seeks to cement the agency’s bureaucratic authority to reinterpret and change statute through regulatory fiat. Their proposed criteria are anything but objective; rather, their language emphasizes the inherently subjective nature of their recommended standards.
If enacted, this notice will put millions of law-abiding gun owners at risk of unknowingly becoming a felon.
Help stop ATF’s bureaucratic attack on the Second Amendment. Take action now to ask your Representative, Senators, and President Trump to stop ATF’s overreach before it’s too late. Make your voice heard today by letting them know that you stand with the American Suppressor Association!
