Generally nobody even bats an eye except for full-auto.
New Hampshire AG has already stated that local/state cops aren't empowered to enforce federal gun laws (mostly in reference to GFSZA).
OTOH, if there's a window for no-tax-paid registration of "braced pistols" as SBRs, I'm putting the pistols they already know about (e f.g. bought at Riley's) and registering the ones I don't ever plan to transport across state lines.
Since it wouldn't have cost me $200 to put them on the registry, no loss in removing them. Only real downside is that the extra engraving would reduce their resale value.
I'd never sell anything that was ever engraved, unless it was something I was going to do as a manufacturer.
I doubt they will do a full amnesty, because people will just register everything and crapflood the system.
I am hoping the end of this bullshit is just an easier to understand determination. My gut feeling is some of it we wont like some of it will be good because it will just put it to
bed. They should have just established this test back when it was determined that braces werent magically illegal if you touched it to your shoulder. Would have saved everyone a
lot of grief. We'll never know, but my gut feeling is that there are factions inside ATF even. There is, or was at least, clearly, one faction that likes pistol braces and the way we use them, because it clearly reduces the burden on NFA branch staff. I mean thinking critically, pistol braces have avoided like probably at least 100,000 nfa registrations at this point. Secretly, this
faction probably think that things like SBR, SBS, AOW, are completely f***ing stupid but because that shit is burned into the law they can't just make it administratively die. Then there's the other faggot faction in ATF, which is "all the gay all the time. " If there weren't factions this issue would have never been created to begin with, because upon seeing the first pistol brace,
they would have just said "this is a stock, this is illegal, end". They didn't do that because someone, or several people, or a faction, wanted to seize an opportunity to make life easier for
themselves and for the industry. The problem with the ATF, other than it existing, is internally its somewhat of an enigma wrapped within an enigma. The "good cop, bad cop" thing
exists all over the place.
