A lot of people are joining FPC because of this. The ruling seems to leave it wide open as to the date of membership. $30 to join it looks like.


I wouldn’t think join date would matter. If an organization receives injunctive relief, I believe it applies to all members, regardless of when they became a member, but I slept in my own bed last night, not at a Holiday Inn. I also am not a lawyer, nor do I portray one on TV. So, I could be very, very wrong.

Someone with the money needs to keep chasing this thing all the way up until we get a 6-3 ruling on SBR’s, SBS’s and suppressors. Capricious rules are capricious. They gots tago.

All three of those things should be able to be purchased at a local Atwood’s with nothing more than a standard 4473. If they insist on knowing everyone that has one, which is unconstitutional on its face, issue a card (like a CCW) to those that request one and pass a normal 4473 background check. Once you have the card, buy as many or as few suppressors as you like and the same with the other 2, following a proceed on a 4473 for the firearms. Passing a background check on an accessory is as dumb as it gets. Imagine having to wait 9-15 months to buy a rifle scope. Stupid. Put into place by people that have probably never fired a firearm in their lives. Dumbest **** ever.

So for those who don't want to join, we just take the brace off for the time being? I finally got around to submitting the E-form for the darned thing too.

I originally understood it that once you submitted the Form 1 and recived the "letter" confirming that you had, you could use a regular butt stock. I don't know for certain though.

Most are waiting until they get their"stamp" from what I understand.

I have decided not to get the "free" SBR so I don't know all of the details.

I didn’t see any requirement to give money to join. FPC is a nonprofit. As far as I know all you have to do is register on their site to be a member. After registering I decided to give them monthly contributions, not because I need to for any reason, I just really like what they’re doing. I don’t own any pistol braces (yet), but I can’t resist my desire to “stick it to the man.”

I do the same thing. I use my PayPal account for the donations and to buy cool anti-AFT stuff on their website.

Like sticking it to the man twice... I love using my PP account or PP MasterCard to pay for gun stuff. They also give me 2% back.

It's like sticking it to the man 3 times...

So are the cripples (the OG peeps the braces were made for) still exempt or do they have to register for sbr stamp too? I haven't followed it close since IDGAF. Just curious.

So if you are a member you can have a brace and if not member after the 31st you can't? Sounds like BS to me. Has anyone dug in on this? I can't get my head around two people at the range and ATF walks up and takes one to jail and telsl the other to have a nice day.

No one was ever "exempt". They were just invented to assist certain disabled people with shooting.
