In a nationwide resistance, an overwhelming majority of gun owners targeted by President Joe Biden have opted to reject the administration’s far-reaching regulations on one of the most popular and freely owned firearms ever manufactured. Only a small minority—estimated to be between 0.6 percent and one percent—of AR-15-style pistol owners have complied with the May 31 deadline imposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to register their firearms. Those who fail to do so face severe consequences as a violation of U.S.C. 586, including the potential of a 10-year prison sentence, a $10,000 fine, or both. In the rule, the ATF also graciously points out that lying to an agency of the federal government may also be a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1001, which is punishable by a fine or imprisonment up to five years, or both.

AR pistols are AR-15-style firearms, without a traditional stock, and have a shorter barrel and overall length than a standard rifle. In 2012, Alex Bosco invented the pistol brace to assist a disabled veteran shoot an AR-15 more accurately. He later formed a company, SB Tactical, and partnered with SIG Sauer to market them. Pistol braces for disabled shooters, such as a forearm brace, that conform to the arm and do not act as a buttstock that can be shouldered like a rifle are not affected by this rule.

While the ATF had previously indicated that AR-15-style pistols equipped with arm braces were legal, the Biden administration chose to regulate them anyway. In an April House Judiciary Committee hearing, Republican Chairman Jim Jordan said to ATF Director Steven Dettelbach:

You told them one thing 10 years ago and now you’re telling them something else.

Jordan went on to tell the agency that they were making owners of the pistol brace devices into felons overnight. As the June 1 deadline has since passed, millions of braces are required to be detached, registered, or destroyed. According to ATF spokesman Erik Longnecker, as of June 1, 2023, the ATF has received 255,162 applications for tax-free registration. However, even if we consider the median number of guns in circulation, John Lott Jr., president of the Crime Prevention Research Center says:

You are still talking about 29 million people who are technically committing felonies at this point.

The new regulations require owners to pay a $200 tax and submit fingerprints. In an attempt to encourage registration, the ATF temporarily waived the tax until May 31. However, the majority of owners have chosen to take their chances, hoping that the courts will overturn the ATF and Biden’s decision, just as they did with the ban on “bump stocks” during the Trump era.

covid vax was dept of defense operation

at a televised presser, mike pompeo said the exercise is live to which Trump responded i wish i had been told that (paraphrased)

in any case, i agree with your premise that there are a lot of unanswered questions, but would caution not to lay the blame on President Trump until we know more
