This video from Washington Gun Law TV, hosted by William Kirk, clarifies the current status of the ATF's pistol brace rule. Kirk emphasizes that the rule has been vacated by federal courts, rendering it effectively dead. He explains that the ATF's continued enforcement actions are based on pre-existing federal firearms laws, specifically the definitions of rifles and short-barreled rifles under the National Firearms Act and Gun Control Act, rather than the vacated rule itself. The core issue revolves around whether a pistol equipped with a brace is 'designed or redesigned' and 'intended to be fired from the shoulder,' which would classify it as an NFA item.

William Kirk, an expert from Washington Gun Law, breaks down the legal challenges against the ATF's pistol brace rule and the broader National Firearms Act (NFA). The video highlights the FPC's argument that the NFA's taxation and registration requirements lack historical constitutional support, particularly when analyzed under the Bruen test. This legal strategy aims to potentially strike down the NFA entirely.
