Thanks for posting.

If we ever get to a point where people are told to turn in their guns, the most likely scenario would be some high profile arrests designed to frighten people into complying. Door to door confiscation would not go very well for those kicking in the doors.

Dana haz questions.

So if Brandon keeps pointing out that AR’s are useless for overthrowing the government and that those ebil right-wingers would need F-15’s

AND….

The Supreme Court recognizes the founders intent and historical limitations of the 2nd Amendment…

Do Brandon’s boneheaded comments become a legal argument for private ownership of military grade aircraft and crew served weapons?

One better:
Liberals say our nation was a thread away from being destroyed on 06 Jan 2021. And yet the only people with guns at the capital were the capital police....
And Brandon and the DNC says AR-15s useless against the government because the government has nukes and fighter planes.
So was Jan 6 really the greatest threat to the US Government since the Civil War or not Brandon?

And private ownership of tanks, fighter planes, and artillery is allowed. Just a lot of red tape to clear to get. And inventory is low, so prices of those out there are high.

More tyranny exposed with the brace rule.
No hyperbole here just pure terror in action.

This whole thing was bullshit from the start and just a warmup for the endgame- full confiscation of scary guns. It wouldn’t shock me to find a statistic in less than a year of “millions of felons in possession” in the US…that they made felons through subterfuge.

They would of course have to do something about it. Could this be the beginning in the US for a globalist inspired across the board ban (as other countries have done and survived) while the democRATs seem to be getting away with so many outrageous shenanigans? At this point, I don’t rule anything out as impossible.

Imported braced pistols would be in violation of 922R and the new ruling requires them to be destroyed or surrendered.

ATF Brace rule page 246: The Department disagrees with the commenter who suggested that there will be financial implications resulting from the removal and replacement of imported parts for owners who imported pistols and added a “stabilizing brace.” The commenter incorrectly
interpreted 18 U.S.C. 922(r) as requiring the removal and replacement of imported parts to comply with section 922(r). Section 922(r) generally makes it unlawful “for any person to assemble from imported parts any semiautomatic rifle,” and 27 CFR 478.39 provides that a person may not assemble a semiautomatic rifle using more than 10 of the imported parts listed in the relevant paragraphs of the regulation. The criminal violation under 18 U.S.C. 922(r) is for the “assembl[y]” of the semi-automatic rifle; therefore, modification of this kind of firearm through the removal of the relevant parts would not cure the 922(r) violation because the “assembl[y]” has already occurred. Nevertheless, for the purposes of the costs outlined in the standalone RIA, ATF assumes this group may use another scenario, such as destroying the firearm or turning it in to ATF, by using the population derived from bump-stock-type devices as a proxy.

Thanks Greymann!

Just what I love hearing from a GunTuber: "What does this mean?" Jesus Christ.

One one hand, yes, it is in there that if you put a brace on an imported pistol that removing it doesn't "cure the 922(r) violation because the 'assembl[y]' has already occurred." On the other, show me one time someone got jammed up over 922r.

ATF can't simply assume every import is in violation, and furthermore, they'd have to prove it. Like, what? They're going to amnesty NFA violations, but 922(r) says we're fucked? Talk about stuff that'll never hold up in court.

I guess the issue 'may' be that if you fill out the form/send them all your info, you're essentially telling them you did it! Curiously, the text referenced in the video isn't part of the rule, as much as it's 'the Department disagrees' with certain comments re:922(r).

From page 246 of the proposed 'Rule':

quote:

Section 922(r)generally makes it unlawful “for any person to assemble from imported parts any semiautomatic rifle,” and 27 CFR 478.39 provides that a person may not assemble a semiautomatic rifle using more than 10 of the imported parts listed in the relevant paragraphs of the regulation. The criminal violation under18 U.S.C. 922(r) is for the “assembl[y]”of the semi-automatic rifle;therefore, modification of this kind of firearm through the removal of the relevant parts would not cure the 922(r) violation because the “assembl[y]” has already occurred.

If you consider that ATF has ALREADY approved tax stamps for countless imported pistols that have ALREADY been SBR'd, then what? To use an example from MAC's video, a shitload of B&T APCs, which were imported as Pistols, have been SBR'd over the past several years. Further, EVERYTHING that B&T imports starts out as a Pistol anyway in order to be compliant with current import laws. B&T even imports rifle caliber 'Pistols' and sells Shoulder Stocks as accessories to convert them to Rifles, all with the knowledge and tacit approval of the ATF! All of this has been going on for YEARS! If you go to the eForm 1, the Description of Firearm section even lists Brugger and Thomet (B&T) on the Original Manufacturer and/or Importer 'drop down' list!

So, is it legal or not? And where does that leave one now? You're NOT eligible for the 'free tax stamp'? Are there a newly formed 922(r) Enforcement Action Teams getting ready to descend on unknowing lawful gun owners? Are the coming for all the tax stamps they've already approved? What a Cluster Fuck!

The good news for me at least is with my "braced pistol". I can spend less than a minute and put a 16" barrel on it and then replace the black with an adjustable rear stock.



An ASR 'pistol' from TNW in Oregon...

But I agree I should not have to, but then that begs the question is just having the original 10" barrel and brace stored away make me a felon?

Nope. As long as you don’t show intent to assemble anything “illegal”.

If, post-amnesty period, you are found with an AR-pattern lower with brace and a 10” barrel, assembled or not, and you will see it on the indictment under “Possession of illegal SBR.” The felon part comes after your conviction.

People keep focusing on the AR...This affects MUCH more than just ARs of ANY flavor!

That said, with respect to ARs and Short Barrel Upper Receivers, etc, if one already has an AR pattern SBR, then I would submit that you cannot be convicted of 'Constructive Possession of an Illegal SBR'. As temporary modifications are permissible, as long as you have an SBR Lower Receiver to put it on, you're legal.

Generally, I believe it would be wise to have shortest BBL length configuration possible for your SBR (based on what you actually possess), listed on the Form 1 though. While you could always justify the ability to make your SBR longer, I don't think you'd fare well trying to explain having the components to make it shorter!

I don't get the whole premise of this 'crisis'.
You now have an illegal SBR because it has a brace.
You remove the brace and you have a pistol (and the ATF has said it will grant you the ability to do that).
Now you can either just keep your pistol (and for imported pistols 922r does not apply) of if you want form1 it and make a legal SBR. For your imported pistol you will have to solve 922r but that is usually not a big issue. So where is the issue?

Is it really as simple as that? The feds put out a 200+ page ruling on all of this, didn't they? In this forum and on youtube, there are some well-informed people who seem to be struggling to make sense of it all. Can it really be condensed down to a couple of sentences?
