The rule was just published.

Let the lawsuits begin.

I can't see this lasting very long under heavy scrutiny/pressure.

** how is it possible for the ATF process millions of “brace applications “ ?.?., once you file and after 88 days of a open back ground check is a automatic disapproval then comes a enforcement action.
Now you have a SBR and you are a criminal.

The above is the gem of this entire thread. The ATF has no ability to process these applications timely. You submit an application and you have incriminated yourself.

Don’t not Comply.
5 States don’t allow SBR
Also ATF can’t make Laws

My impression is that you would have to submit the application within 120 days, not that you'd have to have the tax stamp in hand.

We have to tighten things up where possible. I have no issue other than them circumventing the proper channels (if that’s what happened). $200 seems steep. Make people pay if they already have one and for new ones.

Personally I have a bigger issue with what NYS just did basically making large areas all a “safe space” and in order to carry or exercise you’re constitutionally protected right then the business must specifically put a state approved sign in front saying they allow concealed carry weapons. Otherwise, no sign means no carry. This is an issue to me.

In good news, NYS makes re-registering your permit every 3 years now instead of 5. And in certain areas you must take a course.

People are pissed, but this is the bare minimum as far as I’m concerned. Actually, this isn’t even the bare minimum but that’s just my opinion as a non-carrying CCW holder.

Just curious why you have a problem with a private business controlling the use of firearms on property they control or own? I don't separate "use" from "carrying", carrying is part of overall use, you don't carry unless you are prepared to use it.

Do you feel your right to bear arms supersedes the rights of others to have full control over their property? Like if you went into a business and just started shouting obscenities would you feel it's unfair if they asked you to leave? I would feel like a business having the ability to control firearms (behavior of customers they feel is objectionable or unsafe) is in the same spirit. All the state did is make this easier for businesses to implement by stating the default is "not allowed".

A private business has every right to control their property. It's generally accepted if they post a sign saying no firearms, then you either don't carry in that establishment or don't enter. The difference here is that the state is saying all business are no carry.

Maryland is doing the same thing as NYS. There is a bill in the senate that essentially makes MD a gun free zone. It's an over reaction to the Bruen decision turning MD into a shall issue state. Lawsuits are prepped and ready if it passes. I'm sure everyone shooting each other in Baltimore will gladly disarm if it passes....

Which other constitutionally protected rights do you lose upon entering a private business?

That's the likely argument anyway.

Thanks for update. Im waiting for now.

I went to a couple shops this weekend. Im not really sure of the process, aside that I need to fill out a form1.

I think there are some photo and fingerprinting involved. And a notary.

Do I need to get the pistol engraved with a new serial number?

I was hoping there was a local shop that could guide me through the transaction for a small fee.

I would highly recommend not filing a Form 1 until the 120 days is almost up. The pistol brace rule is going to be stopped by all of the lawsuits.

The easiest thing to do is remove the brace from your pistol and put it somewhere that isn't close to the pistol (maybe even at a friend or relative's house).

Another option would be to remove the upper receiver from your pistol and install a new upper receiver that has a barrel that is 16 inches or longer. It would then be a regular rifle and not subject to this rule.

Your pistol has a serial number and does not need another one.

If you read what the framers wrote, you would know that all firearms would be allowed to be owned by the people.

That's absurd, like many of your claims about firearms.

Just for starters, the 2nd Amendment does not mention "firearms". Nor does it support unlimited access to arms.
I'm a gun owner and 2nd Amendment supporter who is appalled by fetishists like you.

For example the article has the following quote from George Mason:

No man has a greater regard for the military gentlemen than I have. I admire their intrepidity, perseverance, and valor. But when once a standing army is established in any country, the people lose their liberty. When, against a regular and disciplined army, yeomanry are the only defence,–yeomanry, unskilful and unarmed,–what chance is there for preserving freedom?

But it is obvious that George Mason was flat out wrong here. Personal firearms only hurt freedom in the country.

Just seems odd to point to an article that is basically “hey the founding fathers were wrong, let’s listen to these wrong people.”

Removed the brace from my 9mm “pistol”.

Not going to bother with the pistol buffer tube. Inoperable for now. See how this shakes out.

It’s a 10.5” barrel. May just get a suppressor pinned on there permanently, bringing me to 16”, vs new upper/barrel.

Just make sure that the brace isn't anywhere near the pistol.

It worked in the 5th Circuit 💪🏽
More to follow
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily blocked the Biden administration’s rule from going into effect for the gun owners and groups who filed the lawsuit. The order came shortly before a deadline that would have required people to register stabilizing braces and pay a fee, or remove the braces from their weapons.

That's the key part of your post. The 5th didn't extend their temporary block beyond those who participated in the lawsuit.

Suffer Well.
