\nAn AR with a stabilizing arm brace is a pistol. Or is it a Short Barreled Rifle?<\/p>\n

No, its a pistol<\/p>\n

SBR, dammit!<\/p>\n

I’d make the argument that it’s both. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Really Big Explosions has found other things to fuss over. Wonder why?<\/p>\n

On Wednesday night the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) withdrew a proposed guidance that would have reclassified millions of AR-15 style pistols and other weapons with braces that stabilize a user\u2019s wrist when firing, to short-barreled rifles, which are much more heavily regulated.<\/p>\n

The guidance, posted on the Federal Register on Dec. 18, would have reconsidered pistols with stabilizing braces to be \u201cshort-barreled rifles\u201d which are a controlled class of weapon under the National Firearms Act. The change would have required gun owners to either turn in their firearms or register their pistols as NFA firearms and pay a $200 tax stamp if the weapon is accepted. Failure to comply would have made the owners of previously legal pistols felons under the NFA.<\/p>\n

The proposed ATF guidance would have required millions of gun owners to either turn in their guns or register them with the government…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Or become felons. I don’t suppose the certainty of overwhelming negative reactions from millions of citizens had anything to do with the BATF’s sea change. Read the entire article here: American Military News<\/a>
