Biden Admin’s Proposed Gun Rule Would Turn Millions Into Felons
A legal cloud descended over many American gun owners on Monday.
A new rule proposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) at the request of President Joe Biden would make most firearms with stabilizing pistol braces illegal. Owners would have to register, turn in, or disassemble the guns to avoid federal felony charges. One government estimate found as many as 40 million guns could be affected.
“It will be the largest gun registration, destruction, and confiscation scheme in American history,” Alex Bosco, who invented the stabilizing brace and founded the biggest manufacturer of them, told The Reload.
The rule outlines a complex point system the agency wants to create to judge when a gun with a stabilizing brace should be classified as a pistol and when it should be classified as a short-barrel rifle requiring registration under the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). The proposal aims to reconcile the ATF’s decade-long track record of approving the braces on a case-by-case basis. That process was often criticized by members of the gun industry and gun-rights movement as arbitrary and contradictory.
But gun advocates said the new system is worse than the old. While the system gives objective measures for the weight or length of the guns affected, opponents pointed to the seemingly random criteria used to determine which braces are legal and which aren’t. They said factors like whether the gun can be easily fired with one hand or whether an attached brace is adjustable in length have no basis in the statute, which sets the line between pistols and short-barreled rifles at whether the gun is “designed and intended” to be pressed against the shooter’s shoulder. “Today’s proposed rulemaking on pistol-braced firearms represents a gross abuse of executive authority,” said Aidan Johnston, Director of Federal Affairs for Gun Owners of America, in a statement.
Bosco said the rule would outlaw the vast majority of braces on the market and read like it was “reverse-engineered to make braces illegal.” He called it “arbitrary and capricious.”
April Langwell, chief of the ATF’s Public Affairs Division, told The Reload the one-handed-firing standard comes from pre-existing definitions of handgun and pistol from federal statute. However, the ATF did not provide further details.
Tney can fuck off
What part of SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED is too hard to understand?
I really don't know why people get their panties in a knot over this. Didn't the supreme court already rule that xiden can't do anything about this when they overturned the bump stock ban? I beleive they way it was worded was rather important since they outright said that no government agency, including the executive branch and ATF can ban or make laws in regards to the second amendment except congress.
Beyond that, Q said guns are safe, and seeing as how Q's been right about everything else so far, don't see why THIS would be the one thing they're wrong about.
Yes
