Of course, I consider this to be bullshit. But I'm also of two minds on this because I would really like the gun community to stop pretending that these braces were really anything other than a way to get around the SBR laws. I'm for eliminating the classifications that require these extra stamps altogether, I just get tired of the bad faith arguments.
I agree, but the bad faith is coming from the ATF. How inane is it to legally own an AR pistol, but the minute you brace it against your shoulder you've committed a felony? Braced against your cheek? Perfectly legal. I don't see the firearms community adhering to the letter of the ATF restrictions as anything other than clever.
This does perfectly illustrate why the ATF absolutely cannot have a Director like Chipman who can't even define what an "assault weapon" is, or is lying about it. Either option is unacceptable.
