Sig brace definitive ban (to shoulder) 1/16/15

I guess I've been redesigning pistols all my life by using 2 hands then...


Firearms Verification

Gun Control Act Definitions
Pistol
18 U.S.C., § 921(A)(29) and 27 CFR § 478.11

The term “Pistol” means a weapon originally designed, made, and intended to fire a projectile (bullet) from one or more barrels when held in one hand, and having:

a chamber(s) as an integral part(s) of, or permanently aligned with, the bore(s);

and a short stock designed to be gripped by one hand at an angle to and extending below the line of the bore(s).

So what If I hold it to my chest? Or what if I design a pec shaped brace?

Can I use it as a hip brace? What about my bicep? Can I support it against my bicep?

This letter has retard written all over it. It's legal or it isn't. This is a lot like allowing people to buy drugs and then saying it's only illegal if you take them. Let's let jr high kids but liquor. It's only illegal if they drink it.... Retarded.

I want to see the meme pics now of people shooting the sig braced pressed against anything but the shoulder.

Lmao!!

For what it is worth I am already getting emails from my suppliers offering blowout prices on sig braces, LOL.

I should get one and use it as a paperweight at work. I will need a big old warning sticker though. You don't want to shoulder this paper weight without SBR paperwork on file with the ATF.

this is really all a big joke on the ATF is my opinion.
they have absolutely no LAW to back this decision against.
So all it really does is make them look EVEN STOOPIDER
I welcome these dumb decisions on their part as when it gets to court, likely it will illustrate their perpetual incompetence

The ATF was given the power to write regulations. The regulations that they write ARE the law.

People are very nervous about all the guns here at shot with the brace on them (some booths have removed them). One guy is trolling the ATF booth by bringing a gun up about an inch away from his shoulder and staring at them, LOL.

Looks like Sig is looking into the issue and may be going back to court with the ATF. I am on my phone, can someone else copy and past the article?
