Summary: The commenter argues that stabilizing braces do not meet the legal definition of being designed to be fired from the shoulder. They support the removal of factoring criteria for these firearms, asserting that the ATF is overstepping its authority by attempting to redefine them.
Based on the legal definition under 18 U.S.C. 921 (a)(7), (a)(8) and stabilizing braces are not designed or redesigned to be fired from the shoulder. Incidental firing from a shoulder does not meet this criteria as defined by congress and any legal theory under the rule should be barred as well as it would mean the ATF is exercising legislative determination on a definition of any firearm with a stabilizing brace. All cases in which the ATF and the DOJ are classifying certain firearms with attached stabilizing braces should be voluntarily dismissed by the government and anyone continuing bringing these definitions written under this rule should be criminally charged for fraud and an 1803 claim.
