Just read this quote from online news...you all know the alphabet guys who “define” gun laws hate arm braces already... and Biden already said he’s ready to sign an executive order, but wants Congress to pass “common sense gun laws”...

“The weapon used in the attack was an AR-15-style pistol modified with an arm brace, according to the source...”

There are limits as to what executive orders he can issue. I am very worried about him cutting off import of russian and other foreign ammo. That would force everyone to buy american ammo tand greatly raise ammo pricing.

I think at the very least they'll make another run at pistol braces. The Washington Post is already talking about them and I'm sure others will jump on the bandwagon and "push the narrative".

AR-15-style pistols have much shorter barrels than their rifle counterparts and don’t use traditional stocks. The barrel length for the weapon implicated in Boulder is around 10 inches, or about half-a-foot shorter than its rifle cousin.

The National Firearms Act regulates short barrel rifles differently than regular rifles because they can be concealed in a bag or under a coat easier than a long rifle, according to a former special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Buying a short barrel rifle requires a lengthy background check that could take months that includes fingerprints, a photo, purchase from a specialized dealer and a $200 tax, according to the former agent, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.

But AR-15 pistols aren’t defined as short-barrel rifles after gun manufacturers made specific designs to skirt definitions of what makes a rifle a rifle, he said. AR-15 pistols are also deadlier than a typical handgun because they fire more powerful rifle rounds at a higher velocity than slower pistol rounds, such as 9mm bullets.

“It’s treated just like a Glock,” he said. “But it’s not just a Glock.”
