Would help if you put a little more context/info up. Is this something new? Link to more info?
TL;DR version -- The ATF determined that the Honey Badger was designed to be fired "from the shoulder" and therefore is an SBR and not a pistol.

Whether that ruling extends to all AK- or AR-based pistols I'm totally unqualified to say. I've never shot nor even handled that type of weapon.
Nope, this is new and further changes in their opinion.TL;DR version -- The ATF determined that the Honey Badger was designed to be fired "from the shoulder" and therefore is an SBR and not a pistol.

It is new.So it’s not something new, it’s just somebody imagining that something bad might happen.
I believe they've backpedaled since and went back to calling it a pistol, or at least went back and said "to be determined"
I'll see if I can find the article on it. It was within the last week or two.
So where's Trump in all of this?
That was in reference with the Q Honey Badger. This is the ATF saying all pistol variants of rifles (AR, AK, Ruger PC carbine, etc.) are AOW's or SBR's. I would also believe the Mossberg Shockwave will not be spared.I believe they've backpedaled since and went back to calling it a pistol, or at least went back and said "to be determined"

If the ATF wants to open pandora's box, please do, there are 5 SCOTUS justices now and this would be perfect fodder for them to strike down and start chipping away at the NFA act and the ATF.
Trump doesn't give a shit about 2A.So where's Trump in all of this?

Yes. That pistol.Um, EVERY AR pistol??? So if I pull the brace off of my tube, it's the same AR pistol they were selling before but no one was buying???? That's suddenly illegal??? Nahbrah.
