2A Action Alliance Letter Urges House Leadership to Take Action on Pistol Braces

By Zeke Y

Dear Speaker McCarthy, Majority Leader Scalise, Whip Emmer, Minority Leader Jeffries, and Whip Clark,
We, the undersigned members of the Second Amendment community, urge that Congress reject the arbitrary and tyrannical ban on up to 40 million lawfully owned pistols by the Biden Administration. Congress must not sit on its hands while President Biden and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) actively usurps the lawmaking process to ban millions of firearms.
Prior to the Biden Administration, ATF issued numerous interpretive guidance letters approving pistol braced weapons for manufacture, sale, and possession without additional restrictions, such as federal gun registration and fingerprinting. For nearly a decade, gun stores sold braced pistols and law-abiding gun owners added them to their collections and home defense setups. Despite there being millions of braced pistols in common use around the country, there has been no statistically significant rise in violent crimes committed with these accessories. They do not make a firearm more dangerous.
Firearm stabilizing braces were originally designed to help Americans shoot firearms that they would otherwise be unable to hold or aim. Braces now allow countless Americans with disabilities—or those who lack the body strength—the ability to shoot the best defensive firearms in
