[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3235749, member: 43724"] This is to discuss the use of a forearm brace (or just a padded buffer tube) to make an AR into a pistol platform vs an SBR. dennis brought this up and I feel it bears discussion. Here is my opinions. Pistol braces, for them or against them? Personally, I'm for them. The NFA decided for us that rifles and shotguns with barrels under 16" should be regulated as they are more dangerous than a regular rifle or shotgun because they can be concealed easier. We all know the NFA is a huge infringement on our 2A rights. So what do people do with a law that they feel is unfair? They find the loopholes. Enter in the AR/AK pistols. According to law a pistol is a firearm with a short barrel and no shoulder stock. So someone figured that if you removed the shoulder stock of an AR15 and put on a short barrel, you now, legally, have a pistol. For a while all you had was a padded buffer tube. Then someone figured out that you could use a forearm brace. And while technically you can shoulder a brace like a stock, that is not its "intended" purpose, therefor does not count as a stock. Is this bad for the gun community or just a way to thumb our nose at the NFA and its extortion scam? I feel its the latter. Now do I feel people should carry these open carry like a pistol? No. But they are great for concealing in a backpack or a vehicle as they are compact (especially with a folding brace). Right now to carry 30 rounds I would have to carry 2 extra mags for my pistol. With a AR pistol? One mag will do. Not to mention that even with a shorter barrel the AR would be more accurate over a greater distance than a pistol. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
