Just Guns

You had me researching the laws again to see if there was something I'd missed in the past few months.
The ATF did just release a clarification letter a few months ago stating that if you had a folding stock then you had to measure from the end of the barrel to the folding stock. However, this mainly applies to MP5's or piston driven guns that don't require a buffer to operate. This was in response to so many people asking them questions about how to measure those types of guns so they could put VFG's on them. Dumbasses. Don't contact the ATF! Do your research first!

From what Ive seen & read you "can" actually buy the same brace and install it illegally "if" your intent is to use it as a stock and NOT as an arm brace (what it was designed for).
From what Ive see & read it is all about "intent" and your "wording" so watch what you say or if you want to be really safe don't say anything.

I need to stay more current on all that, I would hate to get stopped by the game warden for an under/over sized fish that wasn’t legal to have.
Well good luck on the courts proving that I intended to use the pistol brace as a stock.
You'll have more issues with regular police officers not knowing the NFA law's then anything else. You'll just need to explain it to them or take a ride downtown and then talk to their supervisor or fight it in court.I need to stay more current on all that, I would hate to get stopped by the game warden for an under/over sized fish that wasn’t legal to have.
A year or so ago, the ATF got their cheeks clapped in court bc they didn't measure a pistol AR correctly! The ATF didn't even know/lied about their own guidelines on how to measure a rifle/pistol length! Insane...

It’s only a matter of time, they must interbreed more often nowadays.

If Texas could get rid of Austin and Dallas, it would have nothing to worry about.

Adding a stock to AR pistol does not make it a SBR? I’m confused
It is not designed to be fired with the stock folded over. So for it to be operated as designed it will meet requirements for a pistol or rifle.

technically isn't TX a republic and not a true state by definition?

I believe Texas reserved the right to secede when it became a state. It was it's on republic beforehand, so you may be right.

You can surely tell a Texan wrote it "a U.S. president is capable of unleashing horrendous violence against the lives, liberty, and property of those whom he pretends to serve."
