AR pistols- new proposed rule -> SBR

[LRRPF52]

From the perspective of a 37 year federal LE veteran, and having worked with (not for) ATF over the years, the emphasis of most ATF special agents is with "G&G" (Gangs and Guns). Just a few years ago, via peer polling, well over 75% of the Boston ATF Field Office wasn't about to encroach on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens who don't fit G&G (flagrant non-G&G violations aside). On a State level, an overwhelming majority of Counties in Virginia, for example, have become sanctuary for Second Amendment Rights. Doing so isn't rule of law but more symbolic. At the same time, Sheriff's are the Chief LEO in a County and professional courtesy, deconfliction, safety issues, etc., dictate that ATF notify the Chief LEO of a jurisdiction before a warrant is served. In other words, ATF won't be welcome in many jurisdictions for non-G&G enforcement activities.
So, as mentioned, one has to decide either to not comply with the looming pistol-brace regulations, or comply and wait to go all out when there is an attempted ban on AR platform guns, magazine capacity limitations, etc.

When you have one of the biggest States in the Union with their Attorney General flat-out telling everyone the ATF’s rulings are unconstitutional, and many States with firearms freedom acts, ATF doesn’t have much tooth to bite with here.

In my State, they don’t give a rip what you own, manufacture, or possess under the firearms freedom act.

ATF isn’t a legal institution, but a drunken Congress full of lard-bellied retards gave Prohibition Bureau Agents a new job in 1934.

SBS and SBR provisions weren’t even supposed to be in the final draft legislation, but their staffers were probably drunk too.

You can’t have an agency tasked with violating the Bill of Rights, and it’s time they were brought to heel.

It disappoints me to see so many here getting in kerfuffle about which technicalities of this unlawful agency should be interpreted and followed, but I’m not surprised.

The American spirit is one of default rebellion when another man tries to tell one how to live his life.

A line has been crossed when the offender steps into how free men will structure their family’s/neighborhood's protection posture.
