Can we say that word anymore? Isn't that somehow condescending towards native Americans? Frankly I think most would say that word is a word of friendship and comradeship. But I'm sure someone out there would likely take offense to it.
Although I don’t own a braced AR Pistol I would like to comment however opening the door to the ATF by giving them my personal information is not going to happen. I’ve got a bad feeling they are doing this just to know who to visit first. My opinion.

I unfortunately believe that to be true so I’ll add to my post saying I don’t want to add a reg flag to that information.
You're not implying that they learned lessons are you? You gotta see some of the news reports we see here in Chicagoland. Armored cars and swat teams roll out a lot more than you'd think. That's local law enforcement. They're doing their job. I'm not disputing that. My concern is when some bureaucrat with an alphabet badge says, "yep, that one." And it could be any of us, but i guarantee, it won't be all of us. Not at one time. It'll be death by a thousand cuts. Prune a little here, trim a little there. Next thing, there's only a handful of what was us, hiding. The tree of liberty will be whittled down to a twig.
No, I'm implying that if the feds decided to start confiscating guns from legal gun owners, A) they would have very little help from local LEO ( it's illegal for LEO to help them do that in my state) and B) public opinion would turn on them so fast that the limited number of federal agents who were attempting to come and take citizens guns from them would get the living **** shot out of them. Or they would be killing a bunch of innocent people which would turn EVERYBODY against them. The idea that the feds have the resources to go around the country storming the houses of everyone with a 4473 is ridiculous and mostly the result of Rambo, Boogaloo Boy types bragging about how they would love to see the feds come try that at THEIR house, blah, blah, blah.
Both of you fellas make good arguments (conversation) I, me, will continue to sign the petitions, dissent letters and points of opposition. BUT, I will do it while wearing my tinfoil hat, in my aluminum foil wallpapered hideaway.

Old school here, I don’t believe in that woke crap, that’s the problem with today, nobody has any testicular fortitude…Can we say that word anymore? Isn't that somehow condescending towards native Americans? Frankly I think most would say that word is a word of friendship and comradeship. But I'm sure someone out there would likely take offense to it.
That and logistically impossible.
Make sure anyone using you as a template is modifying and customizing heavily, they throw out copy and paste and only answer the first one.Below find the comment I just added to the Justice Department Federal Registry link below:
Factoring Criteria for Firearms With Attached “Stabilizing Braces”
The Department of Justice (``Department'') proposes amending Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (``ATF'') regulations to clarify when a rifle is ``intended to be fired from the shoulder.'' The Department proposes factors ATF considers when evaluating firearms equipped with a...
Feel free to use as a template to submit you own comment. Not being a "wordsmith", I will take NO offense if you want to heavily modify my comments.
"I find this proposed rule change highly unacceptable. It is not only a constitutional violation of an individual’s Second Amendment right, but by enacting a new law, by modifying the existing NFA laws, it is also unconstitutional, as it has not being written nor passed by the U.S. Congress. As an executive branch agency, the ATF should not be creating new laws, which is effectively what this rule does. Such decisions should be left to the people’s representatives in Congress.
As law-abiding gun owners, this new rule is written so vague, that it will make it difficult for anyone to know whether any given firearm that had legally been purchased with some prior legal accessories added, is now considered a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR), or not . This rule seems to be written in a way, that the ATF can always go back on a legally recognized customized firearm, and say it is now considered illegal, unless it goes through the SBR federal requirements. This also makes the ATF the “Judge and Jury” on what a company’s intent was concerning their once legally AFT “blessed” pistol brace, by saying it was designed to be shouldered, instead of its use as a forearm brace. People that own these braces don’t want to go to jail and be heavily fined, just because a product that was legal is suddenly declared illegal based on an arbitrary decision by ATF leadership. There are likely over 40,000,000 legally purchased pistol braces and configured pistol braced firearms in common use and in the public domain at this present time.
As we slowly come out of this horrific pandemic, the last expense the people need is an added tax to go on top of their expensive legally purchased firearm(s). Additionally, this proposed new “rule” (really law), will most certainly be legally challenged in the courts as being considered unconstitutional towards the Second Amendment. It may also be challenged being unconstitutional as a law written and then enforced by an Executive Branch agency (ATF), and not written by the Legislative Branch of the Government, which was intended and written by the Founding Fathers into our Constitution. These legal challenges will therefore incur additional cost to the U.S. taxpayer (many of them firearm owners), and with the length of multiple court hearings, decisions and appeals, accumulating ever further Taxpayer expense.
With these points that I have outlined, and trying to keep these comments brief, I strongly oppose this new rule being proposed."
I agree the comments should be modified, since individual comments carry more weight than a mass produced comment everyone submits. I won't be getting any answer, as the Federal Registry is only for comments that will be read and kept on file about said proposal. The GOA "Take Action" comment template (although I suppose one could add to it), generally gets submited as is, by the many that decide to submit it. To my knowledge, those aren't being discarded as far as I know.
