How does this ruling affect NRA members who do NOT currently own a pistol/brace? Are they covered by this ruling as well, and in a good position to run out and buy a pistol and brace combo of their choice, or would they run afoul of the BATFE if they do?
Again, this is a strictly hypothetical question as I've seen the light to global peace and tranquility and cut all my guns up into scrap, receiver first then the barrel, and disposed of them for their scrap value.
I'm not into that kinda stuff any more, I'm just axin' out of curiosity.
If you'll read my post above you'll see the court order enjoins DOJ and the ATF (and all their collective tentacles) from enforcing the rule against NRA members. Period. Full stop.
What's going on is the NRA has a suit waiting for SCOTUS. This order gives all NRA members relief until SCOTUS can rule. So until that happens, all NRA members -- even ones who didn't yet own a brace, or who joined after the court's injunction -- are immune from ATF persecution for pistol braces.
