[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3959380, member: 45773"] Short barreled rifles are considered to be more easily concealed than a non-SBR, yet have far more destructive power than a handgun. That reasoning comes directly from the DOJ and that's why they're regulated. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-new-rule-address-stabilizing-braces-accessories-used-convert#:~:text=Since%20the%201930s%2C%20the%20NFA,destructive%20power%20than%20traditional%20handguns.[/URL] An AR-15 pistol with an 11.5" barrel and standard flash suppressor is about .5" longer than a Kel-Tec RDB and meets the OAL requirements of a rifle. Put a brace on that pistol and, under the new ATF rules, it's magically transformed into a SBR...it's no longer a pistol. Because of the short barrel it instantly becomes more concealable and more destructive than a handgun/pistol and therefore requires special registration to be legal. Yet the RDB, a perfectly legal rifle that meets both barrel length and OAL requirements, is somehow not as easily concealable and doesn't possess the "destructive power" of the illegal SBR AR-15, even though it's shorter. That makes no sense. And I understand the ATF makes the rules...I'm painfully aware of it. I'm saying the logic behind this rule is incredibly absurd because some rifles are legal even though they're shorter than some illegal SBRs. [/QUOTE]
