Jim Jordan Exposes ATF & Everytown Conspiring on Pistol Brace Rule!!

This video discusses alleged collusion between the ATF and Everytown for Gun Safety regarding the proposed rule on pistol braces. Congressman Jim Jordan questions Mr. Wilcox, representing an organization that submitted formal petitions for rulemaking, about communications with the ATF and the Biden Administration prior to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. The core issue is the ATF's 180-degree change in stance on stabilizing braces, which were previously deemed not to convert a pistol into a short-barreled rifle, potentially impacting millions of law-abiding citizens.

Quick Summary

The ATF's new pistol brace rule represents a significant policy reversal from their 2012 guidance, which stated braces do not convert pistols to short-barreled rifles. This change, allegedly made without new legislation, could impact up to 40 million Americans and potentially lead to felony charges for non-compliance.
