On June 1st, the Biden Pistol Ban is set to go into effect. This rule, concocted by the bureaucrats at ATF, criminalizes ownership of an estimated\u00a040 million firearms<\/a>\u00a0currently in possession by law-abiding citizens. <\/p>\n According to the final rule,\u00a0gun owners who possess braced firearms will have to destroy, reconfigure, register, and turn in their firearms to ATF, or face NFA violations which include $250,000 in fines and a hefty prison sentence.<\/strong><\/p>\n This rule will have some of the most wide-reaching impacts nationwide compared to other ATF administrative rulemaking actions. In comparison, ATF’s\u00a0bump stock rule<\/a>\u00a0was estimated to have affected 520,000 Americans, whereas this pistol brace ruling affects\u00a080 times<\/strong>\u00a0more law-abiding citizens.<\/p>\n In response, the\u00a0No Compromise Alliance<\/a>\u00a0sent a letter signed by notable firearms industry companies to Congress.<\/p>\n Among the undersigned are notable firearms industry companies such as Rifle Dynamics, Kahr Arms Group, KCI USA, Tippmann Arms, and more.<\/p>\n Additionally,\u00a0two other letters<\/a>\u00a0were sent to Congress, with notable people of influence throughout the firearms community \u2013 representing more than 30 million viewers \u2013 and local ranges & shops that are bound to be affected by ATF’s overreach.<\/p>\n While these letters certainly make a statement, Gun Owners of America is working on all fronts to defeat the ATF’s pistol brace rule before it goes into effect.<\/p>\n GOA has a\u00a0lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0in the 5th Circuit with Texas AG Ken Paxton. This circuit is the same that recently overturned the ATF’s\u00a0bump stock rule<\/a>\u00a0in January of 2023.<\/p>\n In addition, GOA has backed legislation targeting the root of the issue with the\u00a0SHORT Act<\/a>. The act itself would remove Short Barreled Rifles (SBR), Short Barreled Shotguns (SBS), and ATF’s favorite, “Any Other Weapons” (AOWs) from the unconstitutional regulation of the\u00a0National Firearms Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n The NFA is the law that ATF derives its regulatory authority from on the brace issue, so the\u00a0SHORT Act<\/a>\u00a0aims to stop the ATF by removing its power over such items in the first place.<\/p>\n Lastly, GOA has fought hard with our allies in Congress to bring the ATF’s pistol brace rule under scrutiny via\u00a0the Congressional Review Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n For those unfamiliar, the\u00a0Congressional Review Act<\/a>\u00a0allows Congress to file a joint resolution of disapproval, which would overturn agency rulemaking.<\/p>\n This is where we need\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0help.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n With our legal fight against Biden and his ATF coming down to the wire, please call your Senators and Representatives and let them know to support the Joint Resolution for Congressional\u00a0disapproval<\/a>\u00a0of the ATF’s rulemaking.<\/p>\n You can call your elected officials at (202) 224-3121<\/strong><\/p>\n Let them know to support\u00a0S.J. RES. 20<\/a>\u00a0if they’re in the Senate &\u00a0H.J. RES. 20<\/a>\u00a0if they’re in the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n Read more at ZeroHedge<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
