Molly B. Posted January 31, 2022 at 06:09 PM Share Posted January 31, 2022 at 06:09 PM https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/breaking-federal-register-publishes-schedule-for-atfs-firearm-silencer-and-pistol-brace-final-regulations/ already public on govinfo, the January 31, 2022 Federal Register details ATF’s plans to finalize its rulemaking and regulations related to the definitions of firearm, firearm frame/receiver, complete weapon, complete silencer, and more, plus will publish its final factors for determining whether a specific pistol equipped with a pistol stabilizing brace is, in fact, a pistol or if it’s a short barreled rifle. From the summary in the Federal Register... So sometime in June, ATF’s new definitions and regulations will go into effect for the receivers, silencers, and other categories, and sometime in August the rules will go into effect for pistol stabilizing brace-equipped firearms. . . .

Jeffrey Posted January 31, 2022 at 06:23 PM Share Posted January 31, 2022 at 06:23 PM Is this similar to making up the rules as we play the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making up the rules as we play and shifting goal posts is how the game has been played for as long as I've been paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I haven't paid enough attention then. I don't recall ATF making announcements and changes like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2A4Cook Posted February 5, 2022 at 02:36 AM Share Posted February 5, 2022 at 02:36 AM Turning what have been legal pistols for years suddenly into "short barreled rifles" and trying to make ex post facto felons out of law abiding citizens. Of course, even if you pay the $200 extortion fee, in Crook County, you lose your preemption, they know you have it, and Taxwinkle and Snart will send the Gestapo to kick your door down. Scum.

lilguy Posted February 6, 2022 at 06:22 PM Share Posted February 6, 2022 at 06:22 PM This is the reason I never went for bump stocks or the “pistols” referenced. Their obvious NFA work around attempt led me to believe we would end up down this road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
