    There are serious rumors about the ATF doing the same thing to pistol braces as they did to bump stocks (see link below, as a member of congress Matt Gaetz has some credibility on this). Most people didn’t get too upset about bump stocks getting banned, but far more people own AR pistols with braces. Given that they banned bump stocks without any change in the law, and despite having previously issued guidance that bump stocks were legal, the ATF has set a precedent of banning previously legal items.

    To any of you who own or may want to acquire pistol braces, are you going to proactively change your approach? Does this make you want to get rid of your brace(s) before a potential ban or acquire them sooner in the hope of existing owners being grandfathered in as legal, like ARs and 30 rd magazines under the original Clinton assault weapons ban of 1994?

    If they do this i wonder how long until we see a company just make extra thick buffer tubes. Im thinking 2x the standard outside diameter in a oval shape for safety reasons ofcourse.

    Thanks for the link, searched but didn’t see that thread.

    Is anyone going to change the holdings in their collection based off the rumors, or wait until there’s a regulatory change?

    I'm beginning to wonder if Trump is as 2A friendly as he said. There is no way possible that he don't know about the ATF going after braces !!!! He would be wise to put some thought into
    this before the election !!

    I pictured him as more of an A1 or mp5 guy than an A2, that dumb burst and all.
