Every protagonist in Greek tragedy is expected to have some fatal or tragic flaw. A weakness that compels toward their demise. If the ATF ever had a higher purpose, its modern obsession with control over a constitutionally protected right, at least in the current court climate, could be their undoing.
The ATF has been busy promulgating rules to restrict firearms, but so far, all it has done is keep lawyers fat and happy from legal fees and the US courts busy throwing out partisan acts of overreach.
I picture Merrick Garland rousing from a restless sleep, donning his Obama slippers and a pilly white cotton robe, before scurrying to his lair. You can hear distant, muffled screaming as he walks, clinging bitterly to the remnants of the dream he’s just had.
Last year, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) announced a new pistol brace rule. The idea was to turn millions of Americans into felons overnight while creating a trap.

Federal gun control enforcement numbers dipped in 2022, but the Biden administration still aggressively pursued enforcement, and kept things close to record levels.

On Feb. 8, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland informing him the state will not enforce the recent ATF rule on pistol braces based on a state law prohibiting enforcement of some federal gun control that was passed in 2021.
Tactical Sh!t News reports that the AFT has published their new pistol brace trap rule. If they think you have one that qualifies under the rule, you have 120 days to license it, which you can’t possibly do (as explained here), or you will be a felon.
In one of his eponymous lectures, Richard Feynman told a story about a lady who was pulled over for speeding. Told that she was going 60 miles per hour, she replied that she’d only been driving for seven minutes.
