If I put a Cow in my Ford Mustang does it suddenly become a pick up Truck?
If so do I then pay the lower tax rate for plates and insurance because I have used it in a manner that constituted a "redesign" ?
I'm just thinking here that this will not pass the smell test if it gets to the Supreme Court.
Reading this, I'm not clear which side of the debate you're arguing from.
If you put a cow (item used as a stock) on your mustang (pistol) does it become a pickup (SBR)? The analogy is unclear because I don't know of federal laws expressly defining those terms or changing the legality of one vs. the other.

Just as the Sig Brace in and of itself is legal and the Pistol may be legal and even when combined they are still legal it then the question comes down to the legality of how the combined two are used.
If as in the example of the car becoming the truck changes the legal or tax status when I use it in a manner other than it's original design. The manner in which you use something cannot then change its legal or tax status.
If you follow this then it isn't and cannot be considered a redesign as the use hasn't changed the form or design of the brace.
The BATFE cannot write law, they approved the brace, nothing has changed in the design, only the way in which some individuals have chosen to use it.
This is an end around, they cannot write a law saying "If you shoulder a Sig Brace you are not in compliance." They do not have the authority to do so.
It is simply wrong and I am sure will be proven wrong in court.
