ATF Pistol Brace Ruling: Collusion With Joe Biden?
BY Herschel Smith4 years ago
Did the hopeful administration of His Fraudulency Joe Biden collude with the ATF to stir the waters with pistol braces?
November 10th, 2020, during an ATF conference call, Acting Director Regina Lombardo told those in attendance that the anti-gun Biden transition team has reached out to the ATF to get the agency’s “top priorities”.
AmmoLand News’ anonymous source said Lombardo told those on the call that her priorities would be pistol braces and 80% lower receivers.
The Department of Justice told the ATF’s industry side not to move on pistol braces until the agency could be worked out regulations (sic). SB Tactical and other companies have been working with the federal government to clarify the rules surrounding braces. Currently, the rules are very subjective, which means it depends on the reviewer that gets assigned the review to determine if a brace is legal. There is no set standard.
Instead, the rogue ATF’s law enforcement side sent letters to multiple companies stating that their pistol brace firearms were short-barreled rifles (SBRs). Q LLC, which makes the Honey Badger AR pistol, went public with the cease and desist letter that the ATF sent to the company. Because of pressure from the Trump administration and the general public, the agency walked back their demands and gave Q a 60-day reprieve.

Through an executive order, he created Schedule F. The order allows the President to move government workers into the new category to more easily fire them. Trump could send a message by using Schedule F to remove the rogue ATF leadership.
It sure looks that way from where I sit. And it causes things to make a lot better sense. Something like pistol braces and SBRs wouldn’t have even been on Trump’s radar screen.

Potentially riling up gun rights voters BEFORE the election is a stupid strategy. I don’t doubt that both presidential hopefuls talked to multiple agencies to feel them out about policy. But, alerting gun voters of your intention before the election? They aren’t that stupid.
No the ATF isn’t rogue, it’s Trump’s bump stock ban and red flag law ATF. He owns those forever and neither one of these law by fiat means will ever stop until people are swinging from lampposts.
