Sorry for another one but I am confused and looking for some input trying to help a buddy that won’t ask for help. He has a cheap brace that is just on a range toy AR, nothing special. When all this brace stuff came up he was going to just dump it, doesn’t want to register anything if he can avoid it. He also has a lower that is stenciled “pistol only”.
In trying to think through all the scenarios where the government changes its mind or the rules, he doesn’t want to suddenly own an NFA lower he can’t sell or trade, or change states without permission. Like I said, likes to be left alone and feels a lot of this is just trying to make life complicated.
It seems like if the brace is registered on the pistol only lower there really isn’t a downside if the rules are changed. That stenciled lower will always be a pistol, really hard to claim it is an SBR. If another definition changes, he will just go back to the original plan of destroying the brace.
Does this sound like a good plan for someone in this situation?
Sorry, if has been discussed at length, but i did not see this scenario in previous discussions.
