ATF backs off pistol brace regulation

Just testing the waters, see how much **** they can stir up before saying "just kidding" this time. AHoles.

Would the public comments available online had anything to do with the decision?
Maybe that works?

This isn’t a victory. I am seeing a lot of folks saying this is a win for us but it isn’t. The ATF doesn’t care about the 2A, they don’t care about us, and they don’t care what senators and representatives have to say. When Biden takes over they will come back with a vengeance. Braces will be gone as well as a lot of other things. Eventually the 2A will be gutted so bad it will effectively be destroyed.

I see it as a win. ATF backed down when people spoke up...just as it should be.

I agree. This was a test.

Here is why they backed off.

Some 90 House members, moving with unusual speed, called this week on the Trump administration’s gun regulators to back off banning one of the most popular firearms used by sports men and women and disabled veterans.

In a letter organized by North Carolina Rep. Richard Hudson and signed by 89 others, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives was urged to withdraw new guidance on AR-15-style pistols.

“We urge you to immediately take action to correct this injustice,” said the letter, tweeted by the National Rifle Association.

So because there isn't an iron-clad guarantee that no one will ever again attempt any kind of gun control legislation, you'd rather they had just gone through with this change now?

Defund the ATF!

Staying involved works. I have no doubt that rapid reaction from the people helped here. The same thing happened with the green tip ban.

It ain't over at all, but that doesn't mean we have to act defeated and without hope.

I agree 100 percent. The voice of the people “occasionally” carries some weight. The letter from the Senators and Representatives didn't hurt either.

Negative Nellies bro! It’s a victory for 2A. Some folks just like to cast shade! If it happens again, we can stand up and fight it again.

Don't believe for an instant that this is a withdrawal by the ATF or a victory of any type. This is a strategic maneuver to try to turn down the heat in the runoff election for the two Senate seats in Georgia. If the Democrats win both, and thus take the Senate, this will immediately be reintroduced. At that time, it won't matter how many citizens object, the rule will be implemented.
