In recent "mainstream" news I've seen reports of the House passing a bill that would stop the rule change, and the Senate killing it (by ONE vote), completely along partisan lines in both chambers.
When our rights and the proper interpretation and enforcement of the law become political "footballs" kicked around and voted on solely on the basis of party alignment, WE ALL LOSE.
Right now, the options for those people who have such things (braces now defined as stocks) seem to be, register them with the ATF under all their requirements, or remove them from your gun(s), or risk becoming a convicted felon if you get caught having one on a gun.
Until/unless we get enough people in office and positions of authority who recognize that THINGS aren't the problem OR the solution, we're pretty well stuck in this seemingly endless cycle of banning any THING that someone else decides we don't "need" when it is deliberately misused.
