The pistol brace rule has been blocked

After the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals found that a challenge to the Biden administration’s rule regulating pistol braces as short-barreled rifles (SBR) would likely prevail, a district judge entered orders enforcing the appeals court’s findings — blocking any enforcement against the plaintiffs, their customers, or their families.

The case, styled Mock v Garland, was brought against the Department of Justice by the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) to challenge the reclassification of popular pistol braces as SBRs, which are heavily regulated weapons under the National Firearms Act (NFA). That law requires extensive background checks, a $200 tax that in some cases takes over a year to pay, and carries additional restrictions on the firearm.

Not only the right thing to do, but considering some of the people Biden & Co. have let across the border, we may need them.

technically it blocks it only for the plaintiffs. me and you will still face the wrath, even though the atf knows they won't win on appeal. they're happy just to bankrupt and terrorize us even if we get off in the end.

What's the jihadist going to do, complain to the DOJ that we resisted with something illegal?
