In the dead of night.
On a random Friday.
When we’ve taken our eye off the ball and started looking at some other 2A issue.
That’s when they’ll issue their royal decree.
There's a term for that, dropping bombshells on Friday nights to mollify immediate negative repercussions.
What's it called again?
"Friday night news dump," or just "Friday night dump."can’t remember. News dump?

I ran across one estimate in a firearm news blog. They claim they recieved over 200,000 comments, which is good as that means they didn't aggregate hundreds into one lump complaint. It was estimated by the ATF they will take four months to examine them and then make their determination, which has to be published for scrutiny before going into affect.
That pushes it into 2022.
In the meantime I will look forward to using my braced pistol for Alternate Methods season here in MO. As usual.
The comment period is closed. When should a decision come?
walks, talks, shoots like a gunstock…IT’S A FRIKKIN STOCK. C’mon, now.
That said, seems like anything that assists with accuracy should be promoted by the ATF; all the better to prevent collateral damage.
IMHO the solution is to removed short barrel rifles and short barreled shotgun from the NFA. The distinction between pistol, rifle, and shotgun is arbitrary and pointless. It's a firearm and the law should be, for the most part, agnostic to the configuration of said firearm.

“MHO the solution is to remove... the NFA.”
I like this better.
There's not a single politician that works for the people anymore. Oh they'll say it, but they're really just working for themselves.For some reason we keep remembering our heritage is to not take crap from our Public Servants as they are neither royalty nor constitutionally above us, They are SUBSERVIENT and some of them really need to be treated that way publicly and often. The constant reminder would do them good.
Read another article which mentioned a Jan date would be scheduled. Maybe the 20th.
Agreed, if their was no 34 NFA, there would be no problem at all. That legislation was originally an anti handgun bill - the intent really was to disarm us. They were trying that long ago.

Not to turn this political at all. I think it's important to understand most of our rulemaking on firearms is more or less knee-jerk reactions when our elected officials feel endangered more so than a direct reaction of the public's perception of criminals.
When it comes to the 1934 and 1968 gun control both were in in some ways a response to assassinations and threats against politicians. 1934 was an attempt on Roosevelt the prior year with a handgun which killed a Chicago mayor. There were plenty of politicians very fearful of violence and retribution from organized crime outfits in large cities. As originally proposed it was started as an outright ban on any concealable firearm and silencers plus machine guns and explosives. Handguns were way too numerous and popular so they ended up dropped from the scope of the law. The courts warned Congress a ban was likely unconstitutional so instead a huge tax and permission from your local police to transfer was enacted. (This was a time when a heap of new laws were enacted during very public animosity between the Supreme Court and the other branches of government.) Fast forward to 68 when a number of high profile people had been killed and once again major unrest in large cities resulted in another round of tightening access to guns - this time basically cutting off most cheap foreign firearms and creating a dealer system to put restrictions on sales of all guns. This was around the time just about every major city enacted gun bans of their own and most states set up their current regulatory schemes. Dressing it up as crime fighting for public consumption makes good talking points even if it was not the primary intent. A quick read through contemporary books and articles by various ban enthusiasts makes it abundantly clear the motivations and hope-for results.
Great link, thank you very much!For inquiring minds...

One source that it will take MONTHS to go thru those pesky little peeple comments

Somewhere along the way, the idea of working for the people turned into being a "career politician"
FTFY.IMHO the solution is to abolish the NFA.
