MSR Pistol Designation In Doubt?

[StoneHendge]

I suspect the name Q is what triggered these rogue agents.

Ha!

I think the point I've been trying to make and probably haven't been doing a good job of is that the ATF is a Law Enforcement Agency responsible for enforcing laws on the books, one of which is the Firearms Controls Act.

How they interpret it is different than how a court may interpret it. And if a politician says "how are you allowing that? - the Dayton shooter used a pistol brace and shouldered it" we know what's next.

LRRPF52, all the arguments you have laid out about the benefits of braces in general are ones that they can make in court. Hopefully they do and it goes all the way to the Supreme Court and addresses the regulation of SBRs. All the arguments you have made about yourself are ones that you hopefully never have to pay a lawyer to make for you in court. That was really the risk I didn't want to take - especially if I had an anti-gun prosecutor/ judge / jury.
