Videos tagged with ATF Final Rule 2021 R-08F

This video alleges that ATF Director Stephen Dettelbach lied under oath to Congress regarding the ATF's stance on firearms equipped with stabilizing braces. The speaker contrasts Dettelbach's sworn testimony, which suggested owners could simply detach and keep braces separate from firearms without penalty, with the ATF's official final rule and subsequent communications to FFLs. The rule, effective January 31, 2023, with a compliance deadline of May 31, 2023, reclassifies certain firearms with braces as NFA-regulated items, requiring registration, alteration, or surrender. The speaker expresses concern that ATF agents may not adhere to the director's previous statements, potentially leading to NFA violations for individuals unaware of the rule's strict interpretation.
