Summary: An individual supports the proposed rule to remove factoring criteria for firearms with attached stabilizing braces. The commenter argues that the previous 2023 rule exceeded the ATF's authority and requests durable language to prevent future regulatory changes.
I strongly support this proposed rule and urge ATF to permanently reverse the 2023 stabilizing brace rule. I have a family member who is a competitive shooter whose brace-equipped pistol was purchased lawfully and used responsibly for years before ATF reversed course. 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.
