The way that the ATF is handling the pistol braces just shows how fucking scummy they and their supporters are.

They have declared that any pistol with an arm brace is now a short barreled rifle, which is a felony to possess without proper permits etc.

They then declared that you have 120 days as a grace period to submit your paper work, tax stamp etc, and get it approved.

The fucking bullshit thing about it is that any application sent to the ATF that takes longer than 90 days to be approved is automatically denied.

Its estimated that there are between 10 and 40 ***million*** pistol braces out in public right now.

There is no way that the ATF is going to go through even a few million applications, let alone tens of millions.

So whats going to happen is anyone who submits their application to the ATF is going to get put on the backburner due to the sheer amount of volume, have the application be rejected automatically after 90 days, and then what happens?

You just told the ATF you have a SBR, sent them photographic evidence, your address, your name, everything. Your application was denied and the deadline has expired, they now know you are in possession of a SBR without proper authorization.

You're utterly fucked if they want to prosecute (its the god damn ATF of course they will)

They've been asked about this scam, their only answer is after the deadline you will be subject to enforcement action.

Surely a good lawyer and a paper trail of all this will save your butt in the inevitable court case.

...Right?
