Short-barreled rifle: sure. But pistol? Without shoulder stock?

You ever seen this mockery of the AFT "definitions" lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvN7M2KtPbU

For example, a MK18 rifle is literally the same thing as an Mk18 AR pistol, minus the some what stock shaped "brace"

Military doesn't need a tax stamp and civilian owners may not want to pay for a tax stamp or (if you're like me) live on the border of another state where it's easier to go shooting, so want to retain "pistol" status.

While I'd never try to argue the practicality of a Kity-Kat, I think my 12.5 inch AR is accurate and handles well. It also has so little recoil that a solid stock isn't an absolute necessity.

When does this new "law" go into effect?

It looks like beginning of August they'll be announcing their new rulings on pistol braces. We'll most likely know the full extent of the new rules in August but i imagine they will give 3-6 months to make the necessary changes, if there will be any at all. I'm still praying for a Hail Mary.
