I'm going to do my best to explain what just hit me like a ton of bricks. I hope I'm missing something but hoping I didn't just fall into a trap of sorts.
1. I locally buy a pistol brace firearm that is 100% legal. Why would I ever add this to a trust, register it or any other nonsense? It's a pistol and completely above board.
2. In other news, I also purchased a couple of Silencer Shop cans on a Single Shot Unlimited trust. I even read the FAQs as a dumb customer that say I can add form1 SBR and form 4s to the trust in the future. I believe we used their portal and my ATF pin and login to add them. That's my basic understanding.
3. Now I purchase the 50$ application of a tax exempt form1 on Silencer Shop. Basically registering a pistol to become an SBR. Then I send a message to their support asking how I will eventually add this to my trust. They reply you CANNOT per the rule drop.
I then read the rule more closely based on their support response and it seems that if your braced gun did not belong to your trust prior to the rule drop in January you cannot add it. You can only stamp it as an individual. Which sounds to me like one day when my kids on the trust inherit my guns, these would require the application and purchase of this tax stamp. Or there is some other big mess I have jumped into where the solutions cost money or worse. How would anyone know to have a pistol on a trust prior to the rule drop when they had no idea what would be in the rule. Or even know the rule existed.
Maybe I'm just being a dumbass here. Sometimes you know you just got screwed but can't quite put your finger on it.
