Displaced Texan

Outstanding!!!! He needs to be held accountable for his actions

Eventually, yes. I think NJ/NY are going down in flames soon.

I seriously doubt this will go ANYWHERE, but here it is: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gaetz-introduces-abolish-atf-act-ruling-against-stabilizing-braces

I was about to ask the same thing…it’s gone quiet lately.

Not pointing fingers at you specifically, I’m referring to everyone. We should be working together to sort through the shit, not bashing each other.

I’m convinced the automotive engineers intentionally design shit to piss off the service techs.

Jesus, can’t we just be civil to one another? The infighting amongst one another on this site is getting annoying.

It could, I don’t know if anything has officially been filed yet.

I saw something the other day regarding a legal challenge to this new horseshit. Not sure which organization was challenging it. I would think the challenge would have a pretty decent chance of overcoming the new rule. For example, Sig, and many other manufacturers, made and sold braced AR type pistols for a few years, as they were all legal at the time, and there are assloads of them in ‘common use’. I would think WVa vs EPA decision, as well as Bruen would overturn this, but we shall see.

That’s my read on it.

We here in Texas have a duty to inform, and our LTC is tied to our DL. Personally, I see it as no big deal. Should I get pulled over, I want there to be ZERO misunderstandings between me and the LEO during our interaction.

I spent a good amount of time reading this on AR15.com, and thought you guys might find it interesting. Many of you are probably familiar with Henderson Defense (aka Battlefield Vegas). They run a ‘shooting experience’ range in Vegas. I’ve been a time or two, and it’s a very cool experience. Highly recommend if you are in the area. Over the years, they have collected extensive data on weapon failure points, round counts, and other bits of data on all kinds of weapons. Many manufacturers are covered. I found it interesting, and I thought some of you data nerds like me would also like it. Warning, it’s quite the rabbit hole to go down. https://www.ar15.com/forums/AR-15/High-round-count-AR-M4-s-over-100-000-rounds-and-how-they-have-handled-on-our-range/118-677135/

That was a quick turnaround. Good on them.

Right, that’s kind of my point.

I’m just kinda thinking out loud here…and I am not a lawyer… CAN the ATF ‘make’ laws like this? I seem to remember several .gov agencies who received the SCOTUS smack down in recent past for making their own rules (WVa vs EPA comes to mind). Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote: “The Constitution does not authorize agencies to use pen-and-phone regulations as substitutes for laws passed by the people’s representatives,” Could this be applied in a lawsuit against the ATF’s brace rule, meaning, that only Congress has the power to pass these type of laws? I’m also sure it’s deeper than that. I also remember when braces became popular, and when the ATF said they COULD be (lawfully) shouldered..now they have not only reversed that, but have added a bunch of ‘qualifiers’. Many seem to go against 2A ‘tradition’ discussed in ‘Bruen’. Might be interesting to watch this.

You’ll be self conscious about printing for awhile. The feeling wears off as you find YOUR spot to carry, and as you get more comfortable with it. I wore my sidearm around the house for a few weeks in order to get used to the feeling of it, and the right clothes to wear with it. Takes time to find your combo.

Awesome news. I’m glad the whole thing is going in front of Bumb. Anything can happen, but this is very encouraging news.

I don’t like tanks.

I’ve always preferred a heavy caliber

Useless crap bills that have no chance whatsoever of becoming a law. Dog and pony show.

Some sort of twisted digital gay pride camouflage…

Thanks Mitch.

I don’t think the ‘hero’ in the Taqueria shooting is going to be charged with anything. It’s pretty clear that this was self defense. Texas law is pretty cut and dried on the use of deadly force, we have a castle doctrine and no duty to retreat, and a right to defend ourselves, others, and property with the appropriate force. It appears to me, the hero was justified in his application of deadly force. If for some reason he IS charged, I can’t see him getting convicted of anything.

Standard procedure in Texas. He most likely will not be charged.
