🚨BREAKING: Pistol-braced Gun BAN Incoming

@JoeBiden’s @ATFHQ & @TheJusticeDepartment released new proposed regulations surrounding the popular accessory known as a “Pistol Stabilizing Brace”

Almost NO existing pistol-braced firearms pass ATF’s new arbitrary pistol test⤵️
Today’s proposed rulemaking on pistol-braced firearms represents a gross abuse of executive authority.

Millions of otherwise law-abiding gun owners now will be forced to destroy, register, or surrender their lawfully-acquired pistol-braced firearms.

⚠️ It appears that ATF has intentionally designed its Factoring Criteria for Rifled Barrel Weapons w/ Accessories Commonly Referred to as “Stabilizing Braces” to effect a complete ban of every pistol-braced firearm currently on the market

Specifically, ATF proposes to create a “worksheet” to be used to classify firearms as either legal pistols or illegal short-barreled rifles. Yet under that framework, literally nothing would count as a pistol.
Most pistol-braced firearms would fail Section I of the worksheet, because all but the shortest AR-style firearms are over ATF’s new 26-inch limit on a pistol’s maximum length.

Moreover, under Section II, virtually all (if not all) pistol braces on the market—including those previously approved for sale by ATF—would receive more than four allowed “points,” meaning the firearm would be classified as a short-barreled rifle.
And if any firearm and brace happened to make it through to Section III of the worksheet, it would quickly rack up enough additional points that it would be considered an SBR under ATF’s arbitrary standards.

Finally, without even using its worksheet, ATF’s proposed rule would outright ban the use of braces on popular “firearms” such as the Mossberg Shockwave and the Remington TAC 14‼️
Gun owners are disgusted by today’s blatant infringement on their right to keep arms by the Biden Administration

@GunOwners of America will work to defeat these unlawful regulations during the comment period or, failing that, through legal action.

🚨GOA Responds to ATF's Redefinition of ‘Frame or Receiver’& Identification of Firearms

"If @ATFHQ fails to withdraw GOA & GOF stand ready to challenge the agency’s resulting lawless actions every step of the way"

Read @GunOwners comments⤵️

"@ATFHQ repudiates its existing regulatory definition of “the frame or receiver," claim[s it] has never actually applied to anything[&]simply ignored it—deliberately misinterpreting & misapplying its own rule even while chiding federal courts for not participating in the charade"
"ATF attempts to explain what it means by claiming that an item becomes a firearm when it 'may readily be completed'–defining 'readily' by changing the statutory term 'readily be converted' to 'readily be assembled, completed, converted, or restored.'"
