Gun Owners of America Uncovers Fatal Trap In Pistol Brace Rule
BY Herschel Smith

BLUF. Your form has 88 days before it turns sour and gets automatically rejected. In other words, it times out. The ATF can’t complete approvals at their normal pace in < 88 days, much less with millions of gun owners submitting forms for SBRs. When your forms time out, it creates enforcement action for the ATF since you now have an unapproved SBR, for which you have sent your name, pictures, address, SS # and virtually every other piece of identifying information. Read that again. ENFORCEMENT ACTION.
It’s a trap.

They can’t enforce ANYTHING that Congress didn’t make a law. If anyone was dumb enough to release any of that information to the ATF, good luck. Geezus!

Yes indeed.
90 days is a made up number by them as is the Brace 120 days Lie.
We haven’t recieved a eform approval back yet amd we are 6 months in from our first.
Our paper ones are 1yr plus abit average and I have seen 14months with 3 customers.

Background check “Spat between ATF and FBI” or an organized plan to make it harder and longer, or impossible, to obtain tax stamps?

Why is anyone complying with any of this nonsense?

The issue is with the background check. If it takes longer than 88 days from the time the ATF starts the background check there will be an automatic denial of the Form 1. Since they already know you have an “unregistered SBR” and a picture of it they can start enforcement.

That’s right. Exactly.

They should merely be accepting registrations and not performing background checks. The NFA explicitly states that information supplied by a natural person for the purpose of complying with the NFA cannot be used as evidence against that person in any criminal proceeding (other than in a prosecution for supplying false information). 26 U.S.C. sec. 5848.

I suspect they will step around that by simply confiscating weapons (with a federal warrant).

Re: ” Since they already know you have an “unregistered SBR” and a picture of it they can start enforcement.”
The following quote from Ayn Rand comes to mind: “There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”
Whenever the government does something with one hand, closely watch what the other one is doing! Phrased differently… in the old days, fed.gov saw no problem and no inherent conflict-of-interest in funding lung cancer research at the same time it paid subsidies to tobacco farmers….
The deepest, darkest fear of many bureaucrats in the permanent unelected government is that the people will, sooner or later, figure out how utterly unnecessary many of them actually are…. and will demand cuts and elimination of whole departments and agencies. Thus, to forestall this outcome, they create “demand” for their services where none existed before. The whole thing is a giant racket, a self-licking ice-cream cone of colossal proportions.

Wake up Patriots. The braced pistol tyranny is only the beginning. If the Communist Biden Regime gets away with this, then magazine fed semi-auto rifles are next. Scotus wont raise a finger either. It will take decades for court cases to worm their thru, and even if a Rino administration is elected, by then the confiscated arms will have been destroyed. I see a grim future for America.
