Friend,
While Joe Biden dusts off his tried
and true speech for the recent shooting in Colorado, swearing to pass
an “assault weapons” ban, his lap dogs at the ATF are
ready to take a major step in fulfilling his wish.
As we have talked
about before, the ATF plans to announce their rule
change regarding pistol braces before the end of the
year, likely increasing their
death grip on you and your rights.
If you own a braced
firearm, you may immediately become a
felon
overnight if this rule change goes into effect, resulting in
prison time, confiscation, and thousands of dollars in
fines.
That's why it's imperative to
take action immediately! Contact your representatives and demand
they oppose this treasonous rule change while there is still
time.
For the uninitiated, there are
currently no regulations regarding pistol braces,
allowing them to be placed on a firearm with less than
a 16-inch barrel and still be classified as a pistol and not a
short-barreled rifle or shotgun.
This allows those with disabilities
(or anyone else) to use these firearms without the burdensome, asinine, and
tyrannical rules established by the unconstitutional National Firearms
Act (NFA) that regulate the lengths and dimensions of firearms that
can be purchased without having to pay for a $200 tax
to the feds.
We all know that the use of a brace or stock does not turn the
firearm into a totally different one, but just makes it more
comfortable and safer to operate. These regulations are just another
way that the state exercises its monopoly of force over
the people, by deeming what
they can or can't have without permission and enforcing its rule with
threats of violence.
By changing this rule and
classifying those firearms with braces as short-barreled rifles and
shotguns (SBRs & SBSs), the government could overnight deem the
10-40 million privately-owned pistol braces as an
illegal modification if they are not registered and
taxed. The ramifications of
an action like this would be the single largest gun control measure
enacted in recent memory, with millions of people
instantly affected.
The administration is not talking about this
because to them it is a done deal, and they believe that the less
attention they bring to it, the less the chance is that it will be
stopped.
In this, they are right.
But we will not let them have it that
easily.
There is still a chance to stop this rule change, but to do so we need everyone to take action and demand that their Senators and Reps oppose this.
There are legislative processes that would allow this rule change to be stopped, but only if enough of our representatives voice our concern and make it happen. Otherwise, come January, the firearm community and culture could be radically impacted.
