    I'd love to say not very good but I fear that after the election several RINOS will feel safe and cave into the dark side.

    I certainly hope you are correct and, yes, I will check out both of the YouTube channels right now. I haven't bought anything yet as still mulling it over but...pretty sure I will before weekend is over.

    Yes, I agree but that is not a done deal yet and I believe the Left has some damn trick-or-treat up their sleeve like stealing the elections - again. One thing is for certain is they don't appear to give a damn that they are going to lose and lose really, really bad unless they do something and yet - it seems that they just don't care. This scares the hell out of me.

    Yep! Probably some that are retiring and don't have to worry about getting reelected. They will have to give their Masters one last trick.

    Okay, a few folks finally released some more inform that is documented so...

    This is by the Washington Gun Law channel and the guy is a lawyer so not only does he speak the lingo he references his facts:
    When Is the ATF Introducing Their New Pistol Brace Rule? - YouTube

    In short, this is where we stand:
    The FINAL law will be written and published in DECEMBER 2022 and implemented with an effective date in APRIL 2023.
    This is a <10 minutes video that brings you up to date, timelines, how we got there and what are the possible outcomes, plus recent court rulings that have direct effect on the ATF and this rule. The guy speaks clearly and is articulate which helps immensely.

    BTW Using Form 4999, which determines if your AR pistol with a pistol brace keeps its pistol status - it won't. It's basically impossible so you will either have to submit paperwork making it a SBR or etc... No AR pistol with a brace can meet this standard because that is how it is written and its intent.

    So we are back to the late 1990s and early 2000s when all AR pistols just had a smooth buffer tube.
    This should piss off a lot of people who bought an AR pistol in good faith, from a gun shop, did a 4473 and now it's "illegal" and could land you 10 years in the rape cage.

    It nice to be nice but there is a difference between an order and a request. As a cop I did not make requests I gave orders, leave now, not please leave now. If the statement is permissive they have the right to refuse. Looks good on TV but dont play in court. So no warrant, turn on cell phone camera, I am the owner/agent of this property I am ordering you to leave now or I will have you arrested.

    That this point, with the SCOTUS RULING IN Bruin, setting the LAW OF THE LAND, on anything about the 2nd Amendment, it is my opinion, I would stick any products the are questionable, deep in the Gun Safe, and shut the F**K UP, about them, period… It will take a few years for the DOJ and ATF, to lose a bunch of challenges in the Federal Court System, because of that SCOTUS Precedent…The folks who are going to get hammered, are those that stick out…

    I looked into building an AR-15 but decided against it! If I wanted or needed an AR-15 I would just BUY one! Every so often, I look at the AR-15s in the Gun Barn at work and then get back to work cause I really don't need one!

    One of the reasons I went with my Custom AR10… I didn’t really NEED ONE, (AR15) but I could justify an effective 1000yd Main Battle Rifle, because there was nothing in my Gun Looker to fill that nitch, and also be effective on the local BIG GAME, like Moose, Black & Alaskan Coastal Brown Bear…
