Summary: An individual commenter supports the proposed rule to remove factoring criteria for firearms with attached stabilizing braces. They argue that the previous 2023 rule was an overreach of authority that unfairly restricted the rights of veterans and citizens to own and use firearms for self-defense and recreation.
I strongly support this proposed rule and urge ATF to permanently reverse the 2023 stabilizing brace rule. Many disabled veterans and regular citizens are denied the ability to properly defend themselves, enjoy recreational shooting, or hunting simply due to the ridiculous stabilizing brace rule. "Rules" such as this are nothing more than attempts by a wanna-be tyrannical government to limit, control, and subdue "We The People." Abide by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. 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.
