On what grounds?....Also, I’ve said it before but the Disabled American Veterans organization should file suit for discrimination against disabled veterans if a brace ban/regulation comes to fruition as the intent of braces was to enable a disabled veteran to use a firearm.
Which has nothing to do with Biden's announcement today of his Executive Actions, not Executive Orders. He simply gave another campaign speech.Executive Orders are not “Laws”. The President can only work within the laws on the books and his orders can be over-ridden by Congress or the Supreme Court. Which I highly doubt would be the case in our current situation.
Here is a nifty little historical piece on Executive Orders and how they work.

+1000As these are all posed as Executive Actions, not even as authoritative as EO...
This is about controlling us, has nothing to do with anyone's safety.How about proposing stiffer penalties for those who misuse guns in the first place. If you're convicted felon and get caught with a gun, home manufactured or otherwise, face a stiff penalty? Make the people who are prohibited from using them in the first place accountable, not every gun owner who isn't bringing harm to others.
What did it mean where it said he would give the ATF 60 days to provide a "separate" ruling on pistol braces?
AND quickly unlock the ammo which is stored in a separate safe. I’m just guessing at what silliness will come but nothing will surprise me.
I had never disassembled a Glock before I did mine. I think the whole idea of ghost guns is just more grist for the mill, but the P80 frames are pretty darned close to a completed gun. The “buy and build” kits offered by a number of vendors are essentially the same as having a Glock delivered to your mailbox. People have been sticking their thumb in the eye of the ARF with 80% kits and shoulder braces for a while now and ARF has finally been let off the leash to poke back.I'd like to see the president try and put one together in 30 minutes. I'm sure someone intimately familiar with Glocks can do it, but the average person wouldn't have a chance.
To focus, which is hard - the idea was to avoid NICS with the kits. Do you think NICS should exist all together or anyone without the 4473 questions should be able to buy a gun at a store? That's the real issue.
That's a complicated question at several levels.To focus, which is hard - the idea was to avoid NICS with the kits. Do you think NICS should exist all together or anyone without the 4473 questions should be able to buy a gun at a store? That's the real issue.
ATF created that leash by issuing the determination that many of those 80% frames were NOT firearms. It was ATF's determination at the time those frames didn't meet the definition of firearm. They COULD have easily made a determination that they were indeed, a firearm.I had never disassembled a Glock before I did mine.

Trump was never a friend of the 2nd, he's a friend of whatever gets him applause. Remember his comments regarding silencers? "I don't like them"And a big thanks to “friend of the 2nd Amendment” Trump for normalizing the process of the President ordering ATF to redefine terms in common use.
It's not a workaround, it's not a loophole, its a legal means to build, own or possess a firearm.This distinction only matters in states that ban private sales. Here in KY if I want a paperless gun I can just buy it at the flea market. In a mandatory background check state the 80% kits are a significant workaround to the law.

California might have 30 % of the long arms being such in crimes.
I have a buddy who is a very progun Federal agent. He reports they are seeing quite a few of these guns in crimes. California might have 30 % of the long arms being such in crimes. If that is true, I can't tell but the source is not antigun.
However the whole idea of making these braces NFA items is about as absurd as the product itself. If you're old enough to buy either a rifle or a pistol, you should be able to buy a short barreled rifle. The argument that a short barreled rifle is somehow more deadly is just silly. Any gun with a rifle stock is not easy to hide. Any AR pistol is a sizeable gun and not concealable in any traditional manner. The laws governing these items are nonsensical already and they are only going to get worse.
If you are OK with NICS, then serializing the frames or having a NICS check for the kits is OK with you. If not, then no restrictions for anyone .
I’m pretty sure I had my Polymer80 faux Glock done in less than 30 minutes. Drill three holes and trim a little bit of plastic, then insert the parts. Truthfully I’m amazed the P80 kits ever passed muster as 80% because they feel more like 95% to me.

But was it 100% reliable and did it pass every function and safety test?
