(disclaimer: I have the $200 NFA stamp for an SBR and have for many years now)

I have read countless posts on various online gun forums by people that were 'sure the ATF will nip this in the bud' when it comes to the Sig brace. There have been numerous posts by those who have jumped through the NFA hoops to get their SBR stamp that are belittling the Sig brace and essentially hoping that they will be deemed illegal. With friends like those, who needs enemies?!

I cannot help but think the incessant letter writing to the NFA branch of ATF to get yet one more clarification is by people that have their SBR stamp and are miffed that they jumped the hoops but others have seen fit not to.

If this letter had not been issued, I'm quite certain that someone else would see the necessity of writing their letter to ascertain "is it OK if I buy a Sig brace, even though it's OK that my neighbor bought one?".

Maybe we can now focus on the legality of shouldering a Glock 19, if we push it, maybe that can be deemed an NFA item when positioned 'just-so' on the body...

STFU just doesn't work, does it?!
