Exactly! The ATF has flip-flopped multiple times on their interpretation of braces.

Just so we're all clear here........you're a-ok with the ATF giving the "all-clear" to a company to sell a product, then later coming back and saying "we changed our mind, those are illegal now" , and giving you, the purchaser, the options of:

1. surrendering the product, or
2. paying a $200 extortion fee, or
3. going to jail for 10 years and/or paying a $10,000 fine and being labelled a felon

Am I inferring your intent correctly? Because that's essentially what you're saying if you support these actions.


Nah, your inferring skills need some work. And I guess my googling skills need some work too because I could not find where the ATF had given approval to Q's pistols.
