I wonder why the ATF is stepping up enforcement on pistol brace equipped firearms.

In this video I show a solid reason someone may have written in to the ATF asking for a guidance document on what factors are used to determine if a pistol brace equipped firearm is an SBR or not.
Don't let Gun advocacy group and brace company sponsored KZbinrs stand in place of your own due diligence. Always verify the claims they make.
They will tell you they tried to reclassify them. FALSE
They will tell you that they tried to ban them. FALSE
They will tell you that they wanted to force everyone to register. FALSE
They will tell you they were trying to make new regulations or laws. FALSE
They will tell you every angle that could possibly end with you feeling the need to either go out and buy a brace, or donate to their Gun Group like GoA etc.
They might even promote their own products in their call to action videos. Fear Sells.
Reading the documents without their power of suggestion it says
"Objective Factors for Classifying Weapons With “Stabilizing Braces”; Withdrawal of Guidance"
A Guidance which is defined as "advice or information aimed at resolving a problem or difficulty, especially as given by someone in authority"
They are simply giving out clarity on how they classify pistol brace equipped firearms. This is nothing new. They have been using these factors to determine if manufacturers can market things as "ATF Approved" or not for a long time now. They are telling the public the factors they use to determine if a brace equipped firearm fits constructive intent of an SBR.

So let me get this straight, they are upset with effectively making a pistol longer? So legal pistol that's easily concealable is ok, but somehow becomes more dangerous by adding bulk? Yeah ok, keep pretending like any of this is for public safety. If it was then they already would have used statistics of crimes to ban them. Instead they issue "Guidelines" with no actual guidance, using subjective terms maybe & might. Nothing says public safety like not explaining how to comply.

[@AllanPowell]

it's the manufacturers lying to consumers about legality of their products that's the problem in their eyes. Pistols can be longer but shouldn't be shouldered like a rifle. They can't ban them because of the ADA so don't worry about that. If they caught you with a home build they'd more likely tell you to make it compliant or register it than charge you unless you were already getting charged with some sort of violent crime.

[@pmanameless8184]

I don't entirely disagree, but the way they wrote the guidelines, it's subjective & up to chance as to if your complying over arbitrary thoughts. My main point was they vilified SBRs due to concealability, but concealable pistols are totally fine? Unless ofcourse you add a horseshoe pc of plastic to the rear? Also was noting they aren't plastering statistics because they don't support their argument. I dont think they should punish companies for skirting the line, its not illegal, many conversations were documented, & lets be honest the gov skirts the line 24/7. Best wishes & stay safe.

[@AllanPowell]

@@pmanameless8184 All of those are valid points. The NFA is unconstitutional as a whole but as long as mass compliance exists so do their regulations and power. They're really just cracking down on manufacturers from false advertising stuff as ATF approved and trying to keep them from selling pistol brace equipped firearms as approved that wouldn't be. For the individual gun owners that bought them in good faith they wouldn't be able to jump to prosecution they would just say "make it compliant, send pictures so we can close this and move on" if they didn't just flat out waive the tax if you chose to register and throw a real stock on it.

In my mind ATF does the same stuff, in the Wright case they tried enforcing very specific regulations that were never shared, even worse is it actually did abide by the unknown reg & they tried to measure diagonally against their own rules to make it stick.

[@toxincustomoutdoors]

To be fair, the ATF puts out stupid regulations and classifications all the time. Even as a gun owner it's hard to keep up with their bullcrap. In all practicality, that's a rifle. It's just the ATF's stupidity that labels it a "pistol." Even so, by the videoer's own admission he was just doing it to "educate" the police by causing public panic. I'm all for the second amendment but using it to intentionally cause a scene only makes people hate guns more. You'll never change the stigma about guns by using them to incite panic. Be a responsible gun owner. As far as the cops go, if someone is reportedly walking around with a gun around kids, they need to be cautious and make sure everything is okay. I'd prefer cops like these being vigilant and ensuring everything is legal rather than the uvalde cops. Yes, they should study up on gun laws, but they're not ATF officers, so they're not going to know every gun law on the spot because they usually don't deal with classifying guns or taking them unless they're involved in a crime. I know many people want reasons to hate cops but take a moment to put yourself in their shoes. If you got a call that someone was in the park with your child carrying a gun and walking around suspiciously, would you not care? Would you say "well I'm sure he's just exercising his second amendment rights" or would you make sure everything is safe and this person isn't a threat first then say it's their right? Too often we like to place blame on cops who are just people with a job that is intense and dangerous, yet we act like they're the ones that made the laws they're sworn to uphold. In this case they looked up the laws and everything was fine. They didn't shoot the guy or beat him or do anything out of line. And lastly, the ATF is an unconstitutional organization that's against the second amendment and they should be dissolved. Their regulations and classifications are made by people who have no firearm knowledge or experience whatsoever.

The fact that the first officer has his rifle at the low ready, eyeing you up and kind of pointing it at you would definitely feel like threat more then anything.

[@korndawggy1801]

Well, when you have a guy randomly walking around in a park with a gun that appears like that, what do you think they're suppose to do at first glance? BTW, I'm far from a bootlicker. It's kinda like the kid walking around on the roof at a presidential rally with a rifle in Pennsylvania. At this point, the cops are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

[@JohnDoe-zb7dz]

And these FOOLS wonder why there is such a disconnect and a move to defund them. All police officers should know the constitution forward and backwards AND carry their own insurance policy.

@Courage the conservative dog The do respect the second Amendment, but, they still are a bit weary of anyone walking around a park in public with an weapon on a sling. See, my "pistol" is in its holster. So, I don't attract the attention of cops or say someone who wants to clap me from 40 meters away.

[@nunya2088]

The description of this video has aged marvelously given current events 😂

[@ItsDuct]

What these guys don't get... This is how you get stupid laws put in place. Walking around a park slung with an AR is going to cause problems. This is equivalent walking across a cross walk with no regard for vehicles because "you have the right of way", that right of way isn't going to help you when you look like a pancake.

[@TNtreasurehunter]

Cop holding it is like dam I want one of those

[@discojelly]

HAHA!! (Best comment)

[@geoffnelson64]

Not a fan of how either party conducted themselves.. the first officer made some pretty snide remarks and was very "us vs them". That said they're just doing there duty I mean it's weird for a citizen to patrol a park with a braced pistol. As a father of 3 kids and a total 2a supporter/gun fanatic I'd be quite cautious if I saw someone walking around with that pistol at a park... idk. Is what it is.

[@AllanPowell]

Well said. You come off as very well read. This guys heart is in the right place but his mind was on vacation.

[@alquinn3562]

Agreed, it’s a potential nightmare for everyone. I get the message but don’t shoot the messenger seems especially appropriate on this one.

[@PNWSCOTTY3]

Muzzled his fellow officer

[@Battle.Born.1864]

Let's not clear the firearm before flagging each other

[@V.TrainingResearchSoldiering]

The fact that the cop said “well we got a call about a rifle… that’s obviously not an open carry ability.”

[@42701texasman]

since when?

[@V.TrainingResearchSoldiering]

@@42701texasman that’s what I’m saying lol

[@WheresWaldo05]

LOL! I openly carry my deer hunting rifle on logging roads and in the woods all the time! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What else am i going to do? Shove it down my pants!?!? 🤣

[@lonewolftech]

Always since the second amendment was written have American citizens been able too legally carry weapons! Pistols, rifles etc doesn’t matter. That’s your right to do so without persecution from the government!

[@EatingHotIceCream]

I looked around the room like…huh? Is this a state vs state thing that maybe I’m not aware of? 🤣

[@CommodoreN64]

“I appreciate you causing a panic.” 😂😂😂😂 top notch

[@freedomridermorty4459]

This is part of the plan. Between the responding officers someone should have the knowledge about this particular weapon. Our military isn't to far behind these guys. 😮😮😮

[@TheJaenam]

i mean , yes the 2nd amendment . but why walk around the park with a pcc ? the amount of concerns will peak . it was the same with that black dude fully geared up in black with a mask and a glock on the front on his vest . and with the amount of active mass shooters in usa i mean come on guys . common sense is that hard to unlock ?

[@dust4294]

The amount of active shooters with ties to the government*

[@dalewilson2904]

“Anyone got their phone so we can check the law” says law enforcement…

[@bobbob-vi4jx]

You have a right to do something But the police also have a obligation to investigate suspicious stuff. And if you wander around the park wiith an ar pistol out in the open its slightly abnormal. Just because you have the right to do something. Doesn't mean people won't be concerned and call the police. And don't be surprised when called sometimes the police show up. Also no surprise sometimes they don't really know the law. That's why they're not judges thank God.

[@Mass.Effect]

Every badge number of every oathbreaker and their names should be gathered so they can be held accountable for their unconstitutional actions!!!!

[@michaeldrake1951]

If police get a call about suspected unlawful open carry(potential mass shooter), they have an obligation to investigate. Thusly, they are well within their rights/authoriry to disarm someone (peacefully) until they conclude their investigation, just as this auditor is within his rights to open carry. An extending pistol brace looks like a stock from most angles at moderate distance (and let's be honest, thats what it is used as when he shoots it) The law is dumb but these officers, while unsafe themselves, risked their lives and did their duty to investigate to keep the public safe. This guy may not have broken the law but he put others in danger by "testing" their response. They responded with ARs that could have missed or gone through the "suspect" and killed children/bystanders in the background. It might not have been his intent but that's the risk he took and it is appallingly reckless. This guy gives the public reason to want more regulation and is just counterproductive.

[@michaelhutz3808]

Not one cop checked to see if the gun is loaded or not and freaking pointing it at eachother what a joke

[@theryansmithhomesellingtea1912]

Also foolish to create an uprising for no purpose other than just to test the response. This is why some people view gun enthusiasts negatively. I understand the purpose, but it’s creating a stir unnecessarily

[@BlackKnight_755]

Most officers wouldn't know what a tax stamp was if you DID have one and was able to produce it! I still don't agree with these so called "auditors".

[@TheBeefSlayer]

You forgot to tell them that you charge 5,000$ a minute for law education.

[@-You-Tube-]

LOL! You know you have a issues when the cop pulls out pink IPhone to google what an AR pistol is.

[@jaegersmith3725]

That dude really had to look the law up on his phone ..... Wooooooow
