What if the property assignment sheet in my trust doesn't have any notary stamps or dates on it? I haven't stamped or notarized that page for any of the four NFA items I've done previously.

ATF will miraculously get these all done in 120 days and then....

"Look how efficient that was and the overwhelmingly positive response by private citizens to willingly register these guns....we should just register all guns."

Disagree. I think this is finally going to be the last over reach. This will solve the gun problem. For sure. Maybe one more law. At most. Yes.

The government makes gun laws like we buy guns. It's always

x + 1 = my last gun purchase

X + 1 = laws required to reach common sense Gun control.

Theres some interesting things in motion.

Write your congress critters reminding them that the ATF is way overstepping their limits here, especially in light of the Bruin decision.

They wont fight for us, but maybe atf taking power from them will actually get them motivated.

If the best possible response I'm hearing about actually gets organized I'll post about it. Non violent civil disobedience is by far our best recourse here.

ATF says 10 to 40 million braced illegal unregistered sbrs in the wild in the last decade.

Crime rate with rifles is unchanged, despite millions of super scary short unregistered guns floating around for 10+ years.

Wants to put you in jail for owning something they said was okay for a decade, now that they have changed their minds…even though crime hasnt changed.

Why the hell do we tolerate this?

This was the plan all along and it worked brilliantly. Very publicly rule against the shouldering of these new braces, which spiked curiosity and awareness, then vaguely walk it back a few months later making people think they have a legal workaround for the hottest new tacticool trend. Stamp free SBR.

Let the public buy as many as possible for 10 years, then clarify the ruling, and BOOM, there's your gun control.

It was a trap all along.

In addition, this creates a massive backlog at the ATF that will almost assuredly slow the approval process for everything else. You now potentially have10 - 40 million Form 1's to process. It's not like they will be adding 80,000 new agents (like the IRS) to speed up the process. More gun control without having to call it gun control.

Surely this will get struck down eventually, and hopefully stayed in the mean time.

ATF will not approve an application of an SBR that violates State laws.


And how about this bit of intimidation on their part?

An NFA firearm need not be assembled to be regulated as such. Whether a person may be in constructive possession of an NFA firearm depends on the facts of a particular case.

They say you have to destroy the braces, but you could slap it on a 16 inch upper and it would be legal. So it doesn't make any sense that you need to destroy it.

Dumb question that have already been answered. If I do register the gun, can I then replace the buffer tube and put a collapsible stock on it like a regular SBR?

Exactly, I'd rather see the ATF administration drug in front of committees and publicly embarrassed for their idiocy if the powerless house is getting involved.

He filed the same law last session. No reason to think he won't do it again.


Do you disagree with any of his gun-related votes?

Its easy to propose a law when you 100% know it will get shot down.

Cant wait until the ATF decides that because you can easily order the components, that is constructive possesion as well.

Dont think they arent ploting a way to make that happen. Because they are.

So is that saying having possession of a brace even if not installed is illegal?

Constructive posession is generally defined as having the parts and pieces to create or assemble something that would fall under NFA, whether you have actually done it or not.

So if you have a pistol and a brace after the grace/amnesty period that doesnt have a NFA stamp with it, you have constructive posession and would be in violation of the arbitrary, stupid and egregiously dumb rule/law created by unelected bureaucrats that we both do now know who they are and have no recourse against.

Agreed that it is asinine, but if you have a pistol convert it with another upper and you now have a 16" rifle. Dumb but wouldn't that save you from the "law"

I dont think so. Because you "could" put it in a verboten configuration, in the eyes of the benevolent overlords at the ATF.

I mean, these are the same people that defined a shoestring as a machine gun and who refularly crawfish on previous determinations. We should totally trust them.

You could also take a stock off the buffer tube of a 16" rifle and slap it on the ar pistol. By that rationale you couldn't a have a single buttstock in your house including on you non NFA ars.

Personally wouldnt worry much about "constructive possession".

If the feds want you, the cleaning supplies under the kitchen sink and nails in the garage will suddenly become "pipe bomb making materials", your 9mm pistol, 12 gauge shotgun and 150 rounds of ammo will be a "worrying stockpiled arsenal", and child porn will magically appear on your hard drive.

What kind of person even wants to work for the ATF? Where do they recruit? Are they wannabes that can't get real jobs in law enforcement? I really don't know. The LEOs I know are as fed up with this BS as we are.

Very good point. Before this ruling, if I had a braced AR and a Colt 16 inch AR, would I have been a felon then? Because I could easily take that stock off my colt and put it on my pistol AR. Constructive intent right?

Most ATF agents are recruited from other law enforcement agencies. Very, very few start at the ATF.

So if we can get a trust amendment notarized tomorrow (Federal Holiday!) adding our hypothetical pistols, then it would be possible to get them a free stamp on the trust? If that's the way any of us decide to go further into the grace period. Decide not to, then you could just trash the amendment.

Does anyone know of this would need to be an amendment or just add them to the inventory list?

Would it need to be notarized?

I've had to notarize amendments in the past, but an amendment has never been required to add an item to the inventory list which has also never needed to be notarized.

In short, yes. They say in the questionnaire (#27) itemized, notarized inventory dated prior to publication in Federal Register. They appear to be making the rules (laws) up as they go along, so I would not be surprised if they found a way to weasel out of all approvals, making an ipso facto ban.
