[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 4049118, member: 42584"] - The original idea and approval by the ATF of the arm-braced rifle (which also out of necessity had a shorter barrel so as to be lighter for one-arm use) was so that paraplegics could safely enjoy the shooting sports, and was also exempt from NFA required SBR registration. - Some members of the gun community however, latched onto the idea that by slapping an arm-brace onto their SBR's, they would no longer need to be registered under NFA guidelines as a SBR, as long as they [B]claimed[/B] that it was being used strictly as an [B]arm-braced[/B] firearm. - Then the gun accessory people stepped-in to provide all manner of modified and 'extended' arm-braces that could also be shoulder-braced/fired. - The ATF came back a couple of times with guidelines trying to clean-up misconceptions about true arm-braced weapons designed for handicap use vs SBR's with 'faux' arm-braced/shoulder-braced setups attached that claimed to be for arm-braced use only. - And every time the ATF came back with newer guidelines to address those 'technically illegal' work-a-rounds, the gun parts industry came back with ever newer work-a-rounds to again circumnavigate the laws about required SBR registration. -I would not be surprised if ALL arm-braces are eventually banned, same as was done with Bump-stocks, simply because some in the gun community [again] refused to abide by ATF regulations.
