Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATF's proposed rule change regarding pistol stabilizing braces?

The ATF is proposing a rule change that would redefine 'rifle' to include pistol stabilizing braces. This could classify firearms equipped with these braces as Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs), subjecting them to NFA regulations and potentially making millions of owners felons.

Why is the ATF's proposed rule change considered controversial?

The rule is controversial because it's seen as retroactive, potentially criminalizing millions of legal owners. Critics argue the ATF lacks sufficient justification based on crime statistics and that the rule is driven by an activist agenda rather than public safety concerns.

What is the 'point system' the ATF is using for braces?

The ATF has introduced a point system to determine if a brace is an SBR. However, critics argue this system is 'reverse-engineered' to fail most brace configurations, effectively banning them regardless of specific features. A caveat also allows the ATF to classify a firearm as an SBR regardless of points.

How can individuals oppose the ATF's proposed rule on pistol stabilizing braces?

Individuals can oppose the rule by submitting comments to the ATF during the public comment period. Gun rights organizations like FPC and GOA are providing guidance on how to submit these comments respectfully and effectively.

What are the potential consequences of the ATF's proposed rule change?

The proposed rule could turn millions of law-abiding citizens into felons overnight. It's also projected to cause billions in financial losses for the firearms industry, lead to thousands of job losses, and potentially shut down companies.
