@dogtown tom, they aren't just after the brace. They're wanting to kill the AR pistol market completely. Even without the brace you can fail to meet the requirements on the 4999 to be a pistol.

That was my take as well at first--"death points" could also be assigned according to optics types, additional attachments etc. After reading the list I was under the impression that ALL pistols/handguns could possbly be under the threat of the same rules--BUT the Ruling title says "FACTORING CRITERIA FOR RIFLED BARREL WEAPONS WITH ACCESSORIES* commonly referred to as “STABILIZING BRACES”--which I take to mean a countdown list for any type of pistol with a brace. My pistols don't have braces of any kind--so my conclusion is that the rest of the criteria are irrelevant (except for pre-existing ones that already cover handguns/pistols).
