Lets see, the ATF says no, you cant. Then says, yes, you can. So which is it? They did say both.
Good grief man..........of course they issued conflicting letters, that's typical when you reverse your opinion.
AGAIN (I've repeated that waaaaay too many times in this thread) If you read the portion of the ATF's most current response to "arm braces" you have your answer.
If you have to ask "which is it?" it's obvious you just refuse to read what ATF actually says.
A "pistol" with a brace that "can be shouldered" by the ATF's own admission, is no different than a SBR with a stock.
Horsehockey!
It's one thing to miswrite, misunderstand or heck, just be plain ignorant of the facts.....but that isn't the case here. You continue to make comments that are clearly not true and not remotely accurate. While you may see little or no difference in the construction or usage.........ATF does.
AGAIN, a shoulder stock is not the same as an arm brace and vice versa.
So why wouldn't you take them to court over it?
For what??????????
What's the PROBLEM with "arm braces"? ..........nothing. In fact, it's a great thing that ATF determined that THEY WERE NOT a shoulder stock to begin with.
Let's get this straight......you want the NRA to sue ATF because ATF determined "arm braces" did not make a pistol an SBR? Think about why no Second Amendment advocate would spend more than two seconds before coming to the conclusion that a lawsuit is not only not needed.........but flat out STUPID. Please tell us what grounds the NRA would have to sue the ATF over their "arm brace" determinations.
If you can shoulder a brace, why cant you have a stock on the gun?
AGAIN, federal law since 1934 is why. You should know that.
Attach a shoulder stock to a pistol creates a short barreled rifle if the bbl length is less than 16" or the OAL is less than 26". That isn't new, it didn't change, the "arm brace determination by ATF didn't change that law.............AGAIN, nothing changed.
And they haven't don't much since either.
Yet more than any other gun rights organization.
