GRNC ALERT 12/29/20: IS THE ATF LYING?

 

THE PRO-LIBERTY COMMUNITY HAD A GREAT VICTORY, BUT WHY IS THE PISTOL BRACE LETTER STILL UP?

 
 

The announcement on Dec 24 that the ATF was withdrawing the pistol brace ‘guidance’ was a great victory for the pro-liberty community. 

It was a remarkable sight, with millions on the side of freedom banding to together to voice a resounding NO! to the authoritarian socialist left in their schemes to deprive the people of their Constitutional rights.
  • Everyone knows the stakes in this debate, when the Authoritarian Leftist talks ‘progress’ they mean the incremental destruction of liberty and individual rights.
       
  • When they talk about ‘safety’. They mean the ability to control you without meeting resistance in the form of speech, protest and prayer
     
  • When they talk about ‘gun violence’. They mean the ability to register and then to confiscate your hard-earned property.
Jared Yanis of Guns & Gadgets noticed that ATF letter is still up, what gives?

Why is the: Objective Factors for Classifying Weapons with “Stabilizing Braces”
Still on the Federal Register?

Is this a classic ‘Bait and Switch’ to stop everyone from criticizing the ATF while they plan on putting this in place anyway?   Or was it a bureaucratic “mistake”Either way, it’s time for the pro-liberty community to make our voice heard once again we cannot be silent in the face of tyrannical intent.

This isn’t just about pistol braces.

Like cockroaches after a nuclear war, the liberty hating left is going to be back with a vengeance.  The show on pistol braces was just their warm up act.

They have made it clear they want to confiscate your guns – every last one of them.   But they know they can’t do it all at once.

They know they must divide and conquer the pro-liberty community, only going after certain parts in an attempt to destroy our individual rights. 

Authoritarian Leftists down through history have always followed the same ‘progression’.  They were hoping that when they first came for the pistol braces, no one would say anything because they didn’t have one.

Their next step is to come for your modern day musket – the commonly owned AR-15’s, AK-47 and variants that are everywhere.  They want to lie and use weasel words to claim these are ‘weapons of war’, ‘military style’ or other meaningless phrases.  

Eventually, it will not matter what you own, they will STILL want to ban and confiscate it.

Suggested Subject: “NO to the Out-of-Control ATF Gun Ban


 To whom it may concern:

I am writing to comment on document docket number ATF 2020R-10 regarding the “Objective Factors for Classifying Weapons with Stabilizing Braces”.

Having read through the criteria, I do not find them to be “objective” at all.  There is no specific detailing of exactly what calibers, measurements, weights, etc. will cause a weapon with a stabilizing brace to be labeled as a “rifle” or “shotgun” requiring NFA registration, instead of a “pistol”.  I find this to be no more than a blatant attempt to allow individual agents to arbitrarily classify a particular weapon as requiring NFA registration, thereby regulating these weapons and accessories by fiat.  The NFA was never intended to cover these devices, and it should not be allowed to be re-interpreted every time someone wants to ban something new.

There are millions of these devices already owned by law-abiding citizens, and this appears to be yet another attempt to regulate them overnight into felons by further restricting their Second Amendment Right to bear arms.  This Right has already been restricted far beyond what the Constitution allows, and this latest attempt to circumvent Congress to further restrict it is unconscionable.

I strongly urge you to abandon this line of attack on our Second Amendment Right to bear arms.

Respectfully,
