For anyone legitmately trying to figure out if their "pistol" is now illegal; do not read this thread. You will simply get ****ed. The long and short of it is; all braces are illegal unless you are specifically disabled in a manner that is consistent with you needing said brace. If you try that route; they will undoubtedly ask for proof of your disability. Do not lean on the ADA to negate the need for proof when it comes to the feds. Additionally; even with a disability you are still only restricted to a 16 inch barrel. Plain and simple. The disability portion of the ruling still does not allow you to use what they consider an SBR (any barrel <16 inches). That's literally it. Gun owners took a massive L today. It is what it is. We get what we allow.
Yeah - once the law is the law, we need to obey, that simple. Also get out and vote fellas. I really do think that the concept of gun control, as an 'issue', really was, and is, influenced by foreign powers attempting to undermine U.S. national security by weakening the potential capabilities we have in the territorial defense of the American Homeland.
