Senator Chuck Grassley has formally challenged the Department of Justice's (DOJ) recent fact sheet on gun violence reduction efforts. Grassley argues that the DOJ's focus on gun control policies, such as the 'Iron Pipeline' and 'ghost guns,' is a misdirection of resources and an exaggeration of their impact on violent crime. He contends that these policies politicize the response to crime and may harass law-abiding businesses and citizens, while crime in Democrat-controlled cities is more directly linked to de-policing and progressive prosecution policies.

They highlight the historical purpose of braces for disabled veterans and the ATF's prior consistent rulings that braces do not convert pistols into Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs). The Senators also point to the substantial economic impact and the vague, subjective criteria in the proposed rule that would likely reclassify most braced pistols as SBRs, leading to compliance challenges and lengthy ATF processing times.
