Wow.Ok but who wins when the convictions are overturned because of 14th amendment law suits?
I certainly don't agree with this ATF rule. While I've always thought their determination letter from a decade ago was faulty, they should have corrected their error then and not waited until 2023. A two page determination letter for the Sig arm brace became a ten year headache that ATF is trying to fix with this nearly 300 page rule. They are trying to stuff the kittens back in the bag after ten years and there are tens of thousands of more kittens to wrangle.I don't see where they got it wrong. I maybe the only one on here that agrees with the final decision. The braces became a work around (all though not initially intended) to be able to have a "cool guy gun". It didn't help when guys are flaunting them in the faces of law enforcement as 2a checks. I don't know think they're going to penalize the people that actually go through the process to make ensure that they are remaining lawful citizens. I don't agree with a lot of so called gun control measures and the fact that there's a regulation that requires registration of any firearm is bull excrement, however this ruling is imo solid.
The same authority ATF had when it issued that first determination letter is the same authority they have in issuing this rule. If ATF had determined the attachment of the Sig arm brace to a pistol DID result in the making of an NFA firearm back in 2012......it would have been consistent with their rulings since 1934.
I'm not a lawyer, but ATF dug this hole in 2012. It seems a bit late to for ATF to complain about the shovel they provided and used.
