I wonder why the ATF is stepping up enforcement on pistol brace equipped firearms.

In this video I show a solid reason someone may have written in to the ATF asking for a guidance document on what factors are used to determine if a pistol brace equipped firearm is an SBR or not.


Don't let Gun advocacy group and brace company sponsored Youtubers stand in place of your own due diligence. Always verify the claims they make.


They will tell you they tried to reclassify them. FALSE
They will tell you that they tried to ban them. FALSE
They will tell you that they wanted to force everyone to register. FALSE
They will tell you they were trying to make new regulations or laws. FALSE

They will tell you every angle that could possibly end with you feeling the need to either go out and buy a brace, or donate to their Gun Group like GoA etc.
They might even promote their own products in their call to action videos. Fear Sells.


Reading the documents without their power of suggestion it says


"Objective Factors for Classifying Weapons With “Stabilizing Braces”; Withdrawal of Guidance"

A Guidance which is defined as "advice or information aimed at resolving a problem or difficulty, especially as given by someone in authority"


They are simply giving out clarity on how they classify pistol brace equipped firearms. This is nothing new. They have been using these factors to determine if manufacturers can market things as "ATF Approved" or not for a long time now. They are telling the public the factors they use to determine if a brace equipped firearm fits constructive intent of an SBR.
