What about when Mr. Normal dies? Now his unknowing family members are going to be in possession of an NFA firearm. If he does the paperwork they can’t sell it without doing a NFA $200 stamp correct?
Or transfer it to a family member who now has the burden of dealing with it.

Of course the ATF never actually defines ANYTHING, but this line seems problematic for our logical definition of ANY current AR Pistol going forward.
It would appear the ATF is attempting a run around by changing the C.F.A regulations as Chad explain. I had not heard that prior. We will see if that survives legislative muster. FYI, this is what they tried with bump stocks. That did not go well.

It’s that simple. If it has a brace-it’s an SBR.
Remove it Destroy it Turn it into the ATF Register it eform1

The 88 day trap.
GOA Lawyer states that if a background check is not completed in 88 days, it is automatically denied.
If there is a large influx of background check request within a short period of time (120 days) will the FBI background check system be able to keep up.
This video posses an interesting question, doesn’t it.
Edited to add GOA Lawyer Twitter Link @Stambo2a for following: Link
“A disapproved form 1 for a braced pistol “will result in an enforcement action”. Even for “open background” denial after 88 days.”
“Was that a quote from an ATF rep?”
“Yep.”This message has been edited. Last edited by: kimber1911,

I agree 100 percent and this guy talks about exactly that - the Staples Vs US case in which the Supreme Court decided that the ATF needed to prove the defendant knew he was breaking the law in this scenario where he was charged with being in possession of a machine gun without proper license while he claimed he believed he bought a semi auto rifle..
The more I learn about this Final Ruling, the more confident I am that this ruling will be quickly tossed out in court.
This Final Ruling is “Much Ado About Nothing”. At worst, I believe this Final Ruling will be tossed. At best, I believe it could result in SBR’s being removed from being an NFA item.
So much overreach, it almost feels intentional, to show how silly it is for SBR’s to be governed by the NFA regulations.

I have a ton more faith that the NICS section will deal well with the increased volume at they havce been practicing at about 150million per year and up and growing than the ATF who can't seem to keep up with like 4 Million a year.

“A disapproved form 1 for a braced pistol “will result in an enforcement action”. Even for “open background” denial after 88 days.”

“Yep.”
So those who posted videos/pics of their favorite braced ARs provided the ATF with evidence for prosecution if they don't get the approved form 1?
What a cluster.

So is this bullshit published to the federal registry or whatever now, or not?

No, it’s much worse than that. No posting of video’s or pictures is required. You would have simply mailed the evidence to the ATF, while trying to comply with the Final Ruling.
The GOA Lawyer indicated that FBI checks that are not approved within 88 days are automatically denied.
Example of issue raised: 1. Final Ruling Published in Federal Registry, 120 day amnesty begins.
2. Millions having pistols with arm braces file ATF e-form as directed by the ATF.
3. If ATF requires photos, you send ATF the following:
Photo of newly classified SBR of which you have in your possession. Fingerprints as required for e-form 1 submission. Your physical address. Additionally you send a copy of e-form 1 to your local Chief Law Enforcement officer.
4. Due to deluge of FBI background checks required, yours goes beyond 88 days and is denied.
5. Your e-form 1 is denied and you are now illegally in possession of an unregistered NFA item.
You are now a felon having provided the ATF with photographic proof, fingerprints, and your address. All, this would be possible through no fault of your own, simply trying to comply with the Final Ruling.

This is the first I've EVER heard of this 88 day requirement to complete the Background Check, but if that's the case why does it take MORE THAN A YEAR to put a Stamp on the form?

Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, kimber1911. I was referring to those that decide not to file for the Form 1. I sure as hell wouldn't post any pics/video of a braced pistol after this ATF ruling.

I expect nothing less from the dishonest ATF and this criminal administration. This is a ploy to turn law abiding Americans into instant felons, and nothing more. Guess what else the pos agents will be collecting? All firearms from each resident charged with a felony. From single shot .22’s through .50 cal rifles.

Here's an interesting article by Paul Howe, retired Delta force Master Sargent regarding door to door confiscation and things along those lines.
He was involved in the Special Operations rescue at Mogadishu which was part of the story of the movie Blackhawk Down.
