This probably won't go over very well.....................................but............................
First off, the pistol brace has helped many enthusiasts that needed the help holding/aiming/firing their AR style firearms-----I'm not doubting that one iota, and I am glad those that needed it have been able to continue in the shooting hobby/sport.....
Now, those ( I AM ONE ) that don't need the extra support from the brace, realistically have been using the loophole of the brace to be able to shoulder our pistols legally...........really, tell me if I am wrong/ignorant...
Also, how many that have been on the fence/ hasn't been a top priority, are now going to go out and spend $600-1200 on parts to make a SBR because they can do it tax free for a limited time...........??
To be honest----------prolly me........
BAAAAAAAAH.........BAAAAAAAH.........now who's the sheep....?..........again, tell me I'm wrong/ ignorant.....
I feel that the vast majority of us are law abiding citizens, and will comply accordingly to keep on keepin' on...
I have already submitted one eform1 (probably a second soon), happily, so I can continue to enjoy transporting and shooting my short barreled firearms legally. They already have 1 stamp, might as well make it a pairing...
Anyway, take it for what it's worth, this is JMO. I think, in most of our minds, this rule was gonna happen eventually. I guess I'm a little surprised it has taken this long.....
