According to some of the new letters, ATF has begun listing the following “objective design features” when making its evaluations:
- Incorporation of rifle sights;
- Utilization of "rifle caliber ammunition" (both 5.56mm and 7.62mm have been considered as such);
- Incorporation of “rifle-length barrel;”1
- The “weapon’s heavy weight;”
- Ability to accept magazines that range in capacity from 20 rounds to 100 rounds, “which will contribute to the overall weight of the firearm”; and
- Overall length of the weapon which “creates a front-heavy imbalance when held in one hand.”
Is this means some pistol caliber and rimfire rds are fine???

Exactly. Political arguments in this thread are not productive. Stay focused on the task at hand.Take your politics out of this thread please. Keep it to notifications of new rules and sharing ways to communicate to legislators.

The brace issue is politics and if one reads the whole thread it has been all along. If you want action it is best to stimulate action in an active thread. Use it to promote action to those that might not look here if posting wasn't so active.
Or you can have a thread no one looks at sitting there...
You can discuss action items, ATF issues, etc. But when it start going down the Trump vs Biden road, R's vs D's, etc... it belongs in the Politics forum. If you can't separate the talking points, just scroll to a different thread and don't comment so that it doesn't derail this one. Thanks
It belongs in the politics forum. Go look at the first page of this thread, politics started on post 5 and constitute about one third of the posts. My point is this issue will never be separated from politics because it is caused by the unelected political ruling class. Promoting contacting politicians is politics. This thread has never been free of politics...

Personally I think the 80% trick was a stretch and should never have been allowed. But you do you. I'm not going to fight against allowing them.
