[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2220002, member: 94491"] Possibly, the wording is cloudy ( as usual) -- it looks to be aimed at pistols with braces/stabilizers, but might possibly re-classify what the atf considers a "pistol" and an sbr.--- it has a weight limit, and a length limit that might roll over to all pistols too. ATF is claiming that these "pistols" were never meant to be shot one handed, and can't be shot one handed therefore aren't pistols, but actually sbr's . As the atf definition of a pistol includes the words " intended and designed to be shot one handed" A few things on the list could possibly roll into any pistol, if the pistol weighs less than 64 oz and is under 12 inches long its definately still a pistol for the most part, but it can't be over 120 ounces or 26 inches in length or its considered an sbr, or if it has a "scope with incompatable eye relief of shooting the firearm one handed" Right now, the precursor is that the so-called pistol has a brace on it, but its in its preliminary state and the wording could change to include any firearm with a rifled barrel of less than 16" with a pistol grip. Some states already have length and weight limitations for "pistols" but this would become a federal "guideline" and new "defifinition" of what classifies something as a pistol vs an sbr IF this rolls over to change the definition of ALL pistols, then if you had a pistol (with no brace) but is longer than 26 inches, weighs over 120 ounce, or had a rifle scope on it --- it wouldn't meet the definition of a pistol, therefore it would fall into the "AOW" classification of an nfa firearm and would require "registration" and a tax stamp and accompanied fee.
