Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main concern regarding the 'free tax stamp' for pistol braces?

The 'free tax stamp' is not truly free because it requires gun owners to submit extensive personal information, including fingerprints and addresses, to the ATF. This data contributes to an existing gun registry, which critics argue is a precursor to confiscation.

How is Gun Owners of America (GOA) fighting the Biden pistol brace ban?

GOA is engaged in a multi-pronged approach, including legal battles by filing amicus briefs in cases like Mock v. Garland, lobbying Congress to vote on HJ Res 44, and activating grassroots members and industry partners to pressure lawmakers.

What is the significance of the Mock v. Garland court case regarding the pistol brace ban?

A three-judge panel in the Fifth Circuit granted an injunction in Mock v. Garland, stopping the ATF from enforcing the pistol brace ban for the plaintiffs. GOA supported this case with an amicus brief and is advocating for similar nationwide injunctions.

Why is the ATF's gun registry a concern for gun owners?

The ATF is alleged to be illegally compiling a massive gun registry. The pistol brace registration is seen as an expansion of this registry, potentially tracking millions of Americans who own firearms like AR-15s, which anti-gun advocates often target.
