https://www.federalregister.go...-braces#open-comment

Here's a template for commenting on stabilizing braces proposal:

Re: ATF 2021R-08

The ATF MUST immediately withdraw its proposed rules to criminalize pistol braces.

According to your own reports, 3 million pistol braces have been sold since 2013. This new rule would make each and every one of these devices worthless and a felony if not registered.

You would be turning millions of otherwise law-abiding gun owners into FELONS overnight.

Moreover, your own research shows that this proposed rule would cost the gun industry and everyday gun-owners, who are already struggling to navigate through our country's economic hardships, tens - if not hundreds - of millions of dollars in conversions, taxes, and destruction of their own property.

In fact, the new ATF "test" to determine if a pistol counts as a pistol is unfeasible for millions of law-abiding citizens.

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

Reviewing the ATF's proposed "worksheet" that would be used to classify firearms as either legal pistols or illegal short-barreled rifles, literally NO pistol-braced firearms would count as a pistol.

Yet 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 who would this proposal even help?

The ATF has arbitrarily decided that a Pistol AR is a "gangster type weapon," despite criminals actually preferring handguns to rifles.



Deadline

Written comments must be postmarked and electronic comments must be submitted on or before August 19, 2021.

Commenters should be aware that the electronic Federal Docket Management System will not accept comments after midnight Eastern Time on the last day of the comment period.
Requirements

All comments must reference this document’s docket number ATF 2021R-05, be legible, and include the commenter’s complete first and last name and full mailing address. ATF may not consider, or respond to, comments that do not meet these requirements or comments containing profanity.

ATF will retain all comments as part of this rulemakings administrative record. ATF will treat all comments as originals and will not acknowledge receipt of comments. In addition, if ATF cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, ATF may not be able to consider your comment.

ATF will carefully consider all comments, as appropriate, received on or before the closing date, and will give comments after that date the same consideration if practical to do so, but assurance of consideration cannot be given except as to comments received on or before the closing date.

I just got an email from Sig Sauer to Legion members about this. They were requesting that you go to the ATFsite and enter a comment opposing this 2021 r05 rule. The problem is, apparently ATF is no longer taking comments on this.

You must be looking in the wrong place. The link above is still open. Once you are on the site, just click the "Comment" button on the upper left corner and follow the instructions.

Still open for comment. I just made mine. Please remember to think about what you say. Rational and logical comments are effective. Ranting against the government in general on a government website can be…counterproductive.

It’s a foolish overly complicated rule change that creates numerous problems while trying to address a problem that doesn’t exist. It’s clearly intended only to make things complicated for the industry at large. It would serve no other purpose.
