Summary: The commenter supports the proposed rule to remove factoring criteria for firearms with stabilizing braces, arguing that the previous 2023 rule exceeded the ATF's authority. They advocate for a permanent reversal of the previous rule to protect owners of these accessories from potential felony prosecution.
I strongly support this proposed rule and urge ATF to permanently reverse the 2023 stabilizing brace rule. "I have friends whom own pistols with a stabilizing brace that need the brace to provide genuine accessibility. The 2023 rule threatened them with felony prosecution for possessing an accessory ATF itself had sanctioned". The statutory definition of "rifle" is plain. ATF exceeded its authority in 2023. I urge ATF to finalize this reversal with language durable enough to prevent future administrations from repeating this abuse. RIN 1140-AA98.
