A rough calculation of the estimated total number of braces and the estimated number of registrations that the ATF can process per day/year shows that it should take about 3000 years for them to actually get all the new registrations out to the brace owners.

That won't be a problem... because I predict they will get VERY few applications.

How many bump stocks were turned in...... counting with 1 hand.....

A different situation. There was no provision for registering bump stocks. They were flat-out banned and had to be turned in or destroyed.

Here are the compliance options for the braces:

I suspect this will go much like the "Assault Weapons" registration requirements for NY and CT: 6% and 12% compliance, respectively.

Sooo, when is the final date for registration?

120 days after it's published in the Federal Register (which I think is expected to be some time next week).

A rather unfortunate (fortunate?) Freudian Slip by the Alphabet Agency. On page 217 of the 293 page document....

OOPS!

 

[racer88]

Everyone knows it's politically motived and does/will do nothing for gun violence just like all there other "sensible gun control" drivel. All they care about is their agenda.

Did you catch the slip?

 

[racer88]

So i just bought one a few months ago, what are my options? I usually just buy regular firearms, this was a little out of my comfort zone. Thanks.

Off with the brace I guess.

And, if I'm understanding correctly, you have to effectively destroy it or render it such that it cannot be re-attached.

 

[racer88]

"Permanently remove or alter...", which is not the same as effectively destroying it or rendering it such. It is an "or" statement.

You left off this qualifying clause....

I read that to mean that the brace is rendered inoperable. SO that it CANNOT BE reattached.

 

[racer88]

Well, I interpret everything before the "or" as resolution option 1 and everything after the "or" as resolution option 2. The word "and" is not in the sentence.

But - as you - IANAL. I just have opinions and like a good dialogue from time to time, and as time permits.😉

It really just goes to show that either the folks that write these rules / laws are either morons and illiterates.... or it's very much intentionally obtuse.

Does this mean I can register my braced pistol as a SBR (Short Barrel Rifle) at NO cost? Once it becomes a SBR can I leave the brace on or put any stock I like on it (YES) And it does not need to be engraved with my name and city, right? (YES). About 6 months ago I SBR an AR15 (8" barrel) and a CZ Scorpion so I could put a real stocks on them. Back then it cost me 200 bucks each. Now its free

I'd be careful about registering for free or not.

 

[racer88]

The Waived the 200. charge. It is free

So is the first dose of heroin.

 

[racer88]

WARNING to those of you who own "braces" and are going to apply for "amnesty" and "free" registration!


Really. It is. No. REALLY. Seriously. Watch this video!

 

[racer88]

I just watched that. Does seem like a valid concern and cause for worry. I can only imagine the letters people would receive after the 88 days.

It's more than a valid concern. The ATF told him flat out that after 88 days, they would take "enforcement action."

 

[racer88]

I wonder if I can purchase a brace-equipped "pistol", register it for free, then attach a proper stock to it since it would then be considered an SBR.

The short answer is: Yes. Once it's registered as an SBR, you can attach any kind of stock you want.

 

[racer88]

Now the question is, what will dealers do with all their inventory of brace-equipped pistols? I sure wouldn't be interested a purchasing an SBR with a lame-ass brace instead of a proper shoulder stock.

They can remove the brace and sell them as pistols... Or put real stocks on them and sell them as SBRs, eh?
