48 Senators urge Biden admin to withdraw pistol brace rule: ‘largest gun registration and confiscation scheme in US history’
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and 47 other GOP Senators signed a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Marvin Richardson on Thursday calling for the officials to withdraw proposed guidance on stabilizing brace pistol accessories that “would constitute the largest executive branch-imposed gun registration and confiscation scheme in American history.”
The letter was in response to President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice rule proposed earlier this month that would change the definition of a “rifle” to include any firearms with pistol stabilizing braces that have “objective design features and characteristics that indicate that the firearm is designed to be fired from the shoulder.”
“ATF claims that the objective of the proposed rule is to ‘clarify’ which uses of stabilizing braces bring within the strict regulatory ambit of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA)1 certain commonly used firearms that are otherwise regulated by the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA),” the letter stated.
