Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 11 hours ago
Readers will doubtless be aware that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (commonly known as the ATF) is considering significant changes to US firearms regulations. They will probably involve, but are not necessarily limited to: - The way in which firearms are classified, particularly where the functions traditionally classified as a "receiver" are split between more than one part (such as the AR-15 rifle, striker-fired pistols, etc.). - The classification of arm braces in AR-15 pistols (which, let's face it, have been used as pseudo-shoulder...
