The ATF Director was grilled today over their new rule forcing Americans to register stabilizing braces for pistols, or else they become a felon.

Rep. Thomas Massie goes after ATF Director Steve Dettelbach for this new rule that has a maximum of ten years for a violation:

This rule is absolutely offensive. It requires that you register your stabilizing brace by the end of May or else you become a felon.

Biden is essentially taking something legal and suddenly making it illegal, which will affect millions upon millions of Americans.

But the real motivation behind this rule is to create a backdoor way of forcing Americans to register their firearms so that the federal government knows they have them. It’s also a way to turn more voting Americans (likely Republicans) into felons so that they lose their ability to vote. It’s disgusting.

Dettelbach knows surprisingly little about this rule but does clarify that the maximum prison sentence is 10 years for owning a piece of plastic that helps stabilize a pistol. He also claims if you keep the stabilizing brace detached from your pistol, then you will be in compliance of the rule.
