Just heard a rumor that AR pistols will become (or soon will be) an NFA weapon. Again, this is just a rumor I heard. What is the real deal about this, if anything?
 
Nice sleep, Rip Van Palladan?

This is one of the possibilities when the bump stock ruling comes down....pay the tax stamp and register as an SBR.
 
Unless it’s a John Cornyn idea to help his buddy’s out, why wouldn’t the Dems (still in control) not just follow Trumps lead and make them illegal without any new laws, like bump stocks?

How about a link to any information or even the nick names of the gun shop conspiracy theory dudes?

The following rule (proposed June 7, 2021) outlines the factors ATF would consider when evaluating firearms equipped with a purported "stabilizing brace" to determine whether these weapons would be considered a "rifle" or "short-barreled rifle" under the Gun Control Act of 1968, or a "rifle" or "firearm" subject to regulation under the National Firearms Act.

There has been, however a bill introduced into the Senate to prevent the ATF from going after pistol braces and firearms attached with braces. That is bill S4069 which is known as the Pistol Brace Protection Act. The bill is set to eliminate subjective standards, which is how the ATF crafts most of its papers; subjective and open to interpretation.

That's what it looks like.
The AFT 4999 work sheet looks like it makes every popular AR pistol sold for the last 8 years or so an SBR.

Pretty much exactly what it does. Defacto ban without having to ban anything.
 
It will be interesting to see what the final ruling looks like. It will also be interesting to see how much and in what ways it will be challenge in the courts. But until something concrete is released I will keep using my braced AR as I have been. It's good to stay aware of potential coming rulings from the ATF but I am not going to spend any time worrying about it until it becomes reality. No matter how this shakes out I feel there will be plenty of time once the actually ruling is presented to deal with it as needed.
 
And this topic has been discussed quite a bit here.

It is just a waiting game until any of us knows what the final ruling will be.
