40 million pistol braces, with a $200 registration fee after the fact is a lot of money.
They say you have 120 days to register your firearms. This gives them a chunk of morons who will register their guns so they can go after them and be made examples of.
So unless they already know who has pistol braces, or SBR capable rifles in their possession, this will be nothing. This also came right after the Bump Stock Ban lost in court. Which told me that gimmicks for guns, is a fast way of the BATFE to commit overreach at the drop of a hat.
I am of the mind that this is driven not by public safety, but to make it so fucking expensive that only the rich can afford to be armed. Because once they get the taste of how much tax money they can generate, they will tax magazines, and ammunition next.
This agency needs to be dismantled, the entirety of that and the FBI.
Whenever I wanted to make a shot that would have been tough with an open-sight pistol, I just chose a scoped centerfire rifle and made the shot. End of my little story.
