Would you cut it out with the logic? The ATF has a narrative to fulfill here.Lots of pistols have rds.

It's still not clear to me if the rule says a rifle optic on a pistol is an SBR...or if it says the rifle optic on a pistol must also have a brace to be an SBR.How Optics+Scopes turn your pistol into an SBR
Oops! How OPTICS+SCOPES turn your pistol into a SBR
So you have a pistol and think you are OK.... but are you familiar with the ATF Pistol Brace Rule? Did you know that they will consider the type of scope us...www.youtube.com
Similarly, the Department agrees that
optics on a firearm should not transform
a firearm into a rifle by themselves, and
the Worksheet 4999 was not intended to
make optics a transformative
characteristic. However, the Department
disagrees with any notion that the optics
on a firearm are irrelevant to the
question of whether a firearm is a rifle...
...which is very interesting to me because it doesn't actually define "from the shoulder." If a pistol rests against my hand and the back of my hand is on my shoulder, is the pistol being or designed to be fired from the shoulder?(1) For purposes of this definition, the
term ‘‘designed or redesigned, made or
remade, and intended to be fired from
the shoulder’’ shall include a weapon
that is equipped with an accessory,
component, or other rearward
attachment (e.g., a ‘‘stabilizing brace’’)
that provides surface area that allows
the weapon to be fired from the
shoulder, provided other factors, as
described in paragraph (2), indicate that
the weapon is designed, made, and
intended to be fired from the shoulder.
(2) When a weapon provides surface
area that allows the weapon to be fired
from the shoulder, the following factors
shall also be considered in determining
whether the weapon is designed, made,
and intended to be fired from the
shoulder:
...
(iii) Whether the weapon is equipped
with sights or a scope with eye relief
that require the weapon to be fired from
the shoulder in order to be used as
designed;

But any funding cuts for the ATF will not make it through the senate.
Devious, this one is...They will if it's part of the next emergency spending bill.....
Get rid of inventory before it becomes an NFA item
They will if it's part of the next emergency spending bill.....
Yeah, though i think it will need an actual *stock*, vs a brace to count as a rifle.OK. can you get one and install a over 16" bbl to make it legal?
at that price even I can afford one. for varmints of course.
Devious, this one is...
You think Repubs will actually play hard ball to level of the Dems?
I hope they do............
In past budget cycles, I can't think of any long-established agencies that were truly hurt. Some have been degraded over time but actual, substantial, right-now punishment? No examples come to mind.Congress regulates funding.
No senate or potato required.
BATFE is a sinking ship.
I can't think of more damning rulings coming from the Supreme Court against the ATF in our lifetimes.In past budget cycles, I can't think of any long-established agencies that were truly hurt. Some have been degraded over time but actual, substantial, right-now punishment? No examples come to mind.
A few decades ago, ATF was on the verge of disappearing by by being folded into the FBI. The FBI didn't want them and the whole situation fizzled.
Are things different this time?
That's a valid observation. Let's hope the situation bears fruit this time.I can't think of more damning rulings coming from the Supreme Court against the ATF in our lifetimes.
Not a chance in Hell. McCarthy already blathering about wanting to raise the debt ceiling.You think Repubs will actually play hard ball to level of the Dems?
I hope they do............
I won't belittle the debt ceiling, but I honestly believe the 1st through 4th amendments are a bigger issue.Not a chance in Hell. McCarthy already blathering about wanting to raise the debt ceiling.
