Mr.Stu 1,916 Posted May 4, 2023 This is what happens when congress is so inept that they cannot fathom the details to put into statutes. The temptation to break from the Constitution and delegate congress' power to an executive branch agency is too great to resist. "Hey, they are the experts. How can we tell them how to do their job?" say the elected cretins who then claim it is not their fault, "the agency did it!" Well, how about it's your freaking job to tell them. If you can't do that, maybe you should never have put yourself up for election. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The brace has a lever on the bottom which you squeeze to adjust the position, right? When you squeeze one end upwards, the other end moves downwards. Just pull it farther down and it will be able to slide right off. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PK90 3,570 Posted May 23, 2023 Quote The unpublished order from the Fifth Circuit panel notes that the preliminary injunction requested by the plaintiffs is granted, but only “to the plaintiffs in this case”. For gun owners outside the Fifth Circuit’s jurisdiction of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, this order doesn’t change anything in the short term, and even most gun owners in those three states will likely still be subject to the ban, though the order could potentially apply to all FPC members in those states.

High Exposure 5,661 Posted May 23, 2023 Does anyone have the scoop on the best current guidance to remain compliant? I think we were all hoping for a blanket injunction, but it’s getting pretty close now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we were all hoping for a blanket injunction, but it’s getting pretty close now. The ATF doesn't agree with their own director. He said just taking it off is sufficient. ATF says you have to make it so it cannot be put back on - destroy, dispose, whatever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted May 24, 2023 Quote FPC has just secured an injunction - pending appeal - against the ATF's pistol brace rule. Already, we are being flooded with questions like "are FPC members covered under the injunction?" Rest assured that our lawyers are seeking clarification from the court as we speak. And we will inform the Grassroots Army the second we know. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon K 32 Posted May 25, 2023 Maybe somebody can come up with an option that attaches to the shoulder and not the gun. A pad with a plastic insert that directs the end of the tube. / / | | \ \ something like that. think of it round, like a funnel to direct/slide the end of the buffer tube into the center. make is rainbow colored and see if they want to make that illegal. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs. Peel 7,156 Posted May 26, 2023 Although the topic of this next video has no immediate impact on the ATF case that is the topic of this thread, the lawyer at the Four Boxes Diner YouTube channel seems confident that a recent SCOTUS decision that smacked down the EPA is also likely to be leveraged against the ATF at some point. Long story short, the Supremes are telegraphing through the EPA finding that Fed'l agences have essentially GIVEN THEMSELVES AUTHORITY that they were never supposed to have, and they (the justices) are starting to smack that down! Very interesting video and worth a view IMO: SCOTUS DECISION JUST NOW: THE ATF IS IN BIG TROUBLE... - YouTube 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xtors 333 Posted May 26, 2023 They used to send out membership cards and I thought I re-registered back in Nov 22 when I made a couple donations but they never sent me a card. I am trying to determine if I am actually a member. I still get their emails but I am looking for something to prove it (and they never gave out membership numbers like NRA and GOA do). Waiting for a response from my phone call and email. Also, ANJRPC just released this: https://www.anjrpc.org/page/PistolBraceWarning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, ANJRPC just released this: https://www.anjrpc.org/page/PistolBraceWarning I had the same concern as the last membership card they sent me says 2022. I originally joined in July 2022 but also just made a donation ten days ago. Low and behold, at 9:32 PM this evening I received an email from FPC stating the following. So check your Inbox. Arthur, We're sending you this email in light of today's opinion regarding who is covered by the pistol brace injunction in FPC's case. If you are receiving this email, you are an active member per our records and covered by the injunction. Should you have any questions, please contact our customer support team at [email protected]. Also, please remember to encourage your friends and family to join as well at JoinFPC.org to be covered under the injunction.
