DOJ release pistol stabilizing brace rules

[The Rat]

So does this mean putting a red dot on a FN509 is now a no-no? ��

No. A regular pistol red dot optic doesn't have eye relief like a scope, and it doesn't have a stock.

[Eric P]

Youtubers/twitters are already shoulder firing handguns and tagging the ATF asking if it is now an SBR.

The ATF is the punching bag of the internet.

Did the ATF sabotage itself to get rid of tax stamps?

No. A regular pistol red dot optic doesn't have eye relief like a scope, and it doesn't have a stock.

I was being sarcastic

[Joe_K]

This entire thing is ridiculous.

I hate government curtailing one's rights as much or more than the next guy.

However, the "pistol brace" was simply a way to own a short barrelled rifle without having to pay the NFA tax and register it.

People are upset because they were taking advantage of a loophole that has been closed.

No. People are upset because Constitutionally recognized pre-existing Natural rights have been consistently violated since 1934, the ATF decided for whatever reason to allow stocks not called stocks to be legally owned and sold for 10 years, now they are trying to rewind the clock. You do not need permission to own any weapon.

You do not need permission to own any weapon.

That's what Randy Weaver thought as well.

That's what Randy Weaver thought as well.

And he was right. The fear of a potential violent death as an excuse to submit to tyrants runs contrary to the very concept of being an American.

[eddiememphis]

The outcome of his situation proves he was not right.

There are concessions to one's idealism that must be made to live in a society.

Without the fear of state sanctioned violence, there would be anarchy.

While I share your admiration of the concept of American individualism, a rational person will likely reconsider their zealotry when there is an MRAP parked on the front lawn.

Might does not make right, and the Good guys do not always win the Wars. Each person gets to choose what concessions they wish to make with regards to their own liberty, no one must make these concessions. The society we have today is pretty terrible, the only thing preventing our full descent into darkness and tastelessness are those few continuing to be light and salt.

Only the People get to sanction violence. The State is just a group of People working on the behalf of the rest of the People.

Anarchy is no Law.
Tyranny is bad Law harming good People, imposed and enforced by bad People due to the apathy of cowardly People.

If someone has not counted the cost of what might happen to them, either because of complying with, or refusing to accept tyranny they are woefully unprepared mentally for the future ahead of them. Facing slavery with regret, or death with a smile, is everyones choice.

We all have free will, how one deals with the consequences or the actions of others free will against you is up to you.

Sounds loud.

Sounds loud.

WHAT???
