For those who have one or are thinking of it. This will probably get interesting real quick.

at least he dropped like a rock .. saved the tacticool gear and body armor 
After closer inspection, it looks to me to be a bit short for an "other". It would need an oal of 26". Kind of looks like a 10.5" barrel which would make it a pistol, and possibly illegal for him unless he had a permit. Law enforcement has mentioned he bought this legally, but did not mention if he had a ccw permit. Is it legal to buy a pistol for home in Ohio without permit?
Either way I wouldn't be surprised if pistol braces become the next banned accessory like bumpstocks in the near future.

Looks to me like he made a legal pistol with a brace, not an SBR or other.

I spoke on this months ago. This "it's not an SBR because it has a brace" is not going to fly forever. It won't change a thing practically speaking in terms of who has the ability to do what, but the government will surely ban it nonetheless. This can be put through easily like the bump stock ban.

They've already flipped and flopped back and forth about the brace thing a couple times.
The fact that the ATF doesn't even know what the law means should be a slam dunk to get the whole thing thrown out for unconstitutional vagueness in any honest court. Too bad we don't seem to have many of them left.
Yes, after taking a closer look it's definitely a pistol, and also legal for him in Ohio.
The atf does for sure know the definition of a machine gun, yet still banned the bump stock. There's going to be a lot of pissed off people if they flip flop on the brace again.

Will be as useful as the bump stock ban too.
While any infringement is an abomination, at least the left lately has been going after useless gimmicky crap, and not useful features.
Have you ever tried to use one of these braces, as either a brace or a stock ? They suck, you're better off just putting your cheek on the buffer tube and calling it good.
I have the original sb tactical brace on an extended pistol buffer tube. Not uncomfortable at all actually. I wouldn't care for the shockwave blade like the one pictured above.

Braces will probably start gaining attention now.

I wouldn't call them uncomfortable, just not all that much more useful than a bare buffer tube.
Actually using them as a brace is just cumbersome, and trying to shoulder them doesn't really get you anything compared to just getting a decent check weld on the bare buffer tube.
My main concern with these shenanigans is that they will go so far as to declare bare buffer tubes "stocks" and essentially turn all AR pistols into SBRs.
Right now they have no definition at all of what's a stock and what's a brace, aside from what does the manufacturer call it.
I've been waiting for someone to decide to market a collapsible brace for "people with different length forearms" or something.
Really, the whole SBR/SBS thing is a joke anyway.
It was originally included in the NFA because they thought they were going to include handguns as well and wanted everything concealable to be NFA.
When that didn't happen, there really is no reason to include the SBRs and SBSs either. But we've been stuck with it ever since Miller screwed us.
If Miller had just shown up for his court date, back then he could have pointed to all the SBSs used in the trenches of WWI and said "there, good for militia use" and gotten the whole NFA tossed.
That would have changed the whole gun control landscape for the last 100 years, but he took the easy way out and just disappeared, and we are all suffering for it.
This seems all too convenient for the anti gun crowd... Smells like shit to me.

Yeah, if they don't push for a ban on braces and AR pistols after this, I will be surprised.
Ummm adjustable arm braces have been out for a while now.
And yes they have been defined, it has to do with length of pull
They dont suck at all. Theh are actually really decent.
And the only flip flopping the ATF did was on if you can shoulder the brace or not.. and they ruled that you can
Braces are leaps and bounds better than just a bare buffer tube.
Saying that they arent tells me you actually dont have any current experience with a brace

If they don't, it's only going to take one more asshole on a shooting spree with one.

Have one, tried it, didn't like it and took it off.
They have already been pushing to ban ar pistols and braces.
I believe this year alone 2 or 3 bills were introduced. One by Feinstein
