Several Oklahoma Sherriffs have issued statements regarding the new ATF pistol brace rule and have announced they would not be enforcing it. The new rule hasn’t gone into effect yet but is expected to soon.
Sheriffs in Oklahoma, Logan, and Garvin counties have all stated their offices wouldn’t enforce the new rule. You can expect more and more sheriff’s offices to release similar statements in the next few days.
The source also has information about how to comply with the new rule.

Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) announced Monday he will use the Congressional Review Act against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ (ATF’s) pistol/stabilizer brace rule.
Breitbart News reported that the ATF’s pistol/stabilizer brace rule was finalized January 13, 2023, and that the agency is giving owners of pistols with said braces 120 days to register the firearms, once the rule appears in the Federal Registry.
On January 14, 2023, Breitbart News noted that the Congressional Review Act offered an avenue by which Congress could block the ATF’s rule.
Rep. Clyde and his colleagues are ready to use the Congressional Review Act and other means to stop the rule from turning millions of law-abiding gun owners into criminals.
Clyde spoke on the House floor Monday, saying:
Next week, I will reintroduce the Stop Harassing Owners of Rifles Today Act, or the SHORT Act, to repeal elements of the National Firearms Act, thereby prohibiting the ATF from registering and banning pistols with stabilizing braces. Additionally, as soon as the ATF’s unlawful rule is published to the Federal Register, I will introduce a resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act, to override the Biden administration’s unlawful overreach.
That’s a typically lame move for Republicans, knowing it’ll go nowhere.

The GOP hates you and wants you dead. Same as the Dems.
We better build allies in our states and counties, because we haven’t any in DC.

I don’t know about wanting you dead, but certainly we’ve seen all too often they introduce legislation that they know will go nowhere and they will use that in campaigning. When the opportunity comes to actually make it effective suddenly they find their scruples don’t let them support it any more.

Unless they forbid the feds in their county and evict them, it doesn’t matter if they refuse to enforce the law or not. As long as their citizens can be victimized by the FBI, ATF, US Marshalls, FDA, IRS, DEA, etc then their defiance is nothing but a show.

It’s nice that sheriff’s in some jurisdictions won’t enforce this. However the thugs at BATFEces don’t care. They’ll use their own JBTs to enforce it. What sheriffs need to do is arrest any Fed badgemonkey attempting to enforce this and other unconstitutional regulations. Otherwise it’s just more virtue signaling.
