raimius Dogtown Tom is oversimplifying the brace issue a bit.

I answered his questions. That's not oversimplifying.

In short, the ATF came out with a several hundred page explanation of when attaching a brace to a firearm might make it a SBR/SBS.

Yet I succinctly and correctly answered each of his questions according to what ATF published.

There are multiple lawsuits ongoing over their new interpretation.

Which is irrelevant.

If you want to be safe, yes, a straight/round buffer tube on an AR pistol will avoid the brace issue.

False. NOTHING in the rule says one must, should, or "to be safe" have a "straight/round buffer tube". It does not avoid anything because the buffer tube on an AR pistol is PERFECTLY FINE as it is.

If you want to add a stock, you submit a Form 1, money, and documents, wait....wait....wait, then get the approved form with stamp back, then you can add the stock.

Didn't I write that? Yes I did.

As long as you have a compatible pistol lower, owning short uppers is fine

Wrong.
First, there is no such animal as a "pistol lower" and never has been.
All that is needed is a legal configuration. A lower, a frame, a receiver, a rifle, a shotgun, etc ANY OF which can lawfully be configured with an arm brace and not violate this rule.

I may have oversimplified, but I wasn't wrong in my response either.
