This video details a significant action by 48 US Senators who have formally requested the ATF withdraw its proposed rule 2021R-08 concerning stabilizing braces. The Senators express grave concerns that the rule could criminalize millions of law-abiding citizens and constitutes an executive branch registration and confiscation scheme. 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.

Colion Noir, an expert with 15 years of advocacy and deep knowledge of NFA/ATF regulatory history, provides an authoritative analysis of the ATF's proposed rule change regarding pistol stabilizing braces. He argues the rule is 'ridiculous' and potentially criminalizes millions of owners by reclassifying braced pistols as Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs), requiring a $200 tax stamp and registration. The video highlights the history of these braces, their utility for disabled shooters, and urges the firearm community to submit comments via Regulations.gov to oppose the proposed rule.
