ATF Issues Notice on Pending Pistol Brace NFA Applications

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has issued a notice to individuals with pending National Firearms Act (NFA) applications to register pistols equipped with stabilizing braces as short-barreled rifles (SBRs).

According to the ATF, applicants have until Monday, November 10, 2025, to request withdrawal of their applications if they choose not to move forward. After that date, any application that hasn’t been withdrawn will continue through the normal processing and approval steps.

Those wishing to withdraw can do so through the ATF eForms system or by contacting the agency via email. Full details and instructions are available on the ATF’s official website HERE

Uninformed US Senators Sponsor Anti-Silencer Bill

You have to love it when our elected officials make decisions and author bills without a complete understanding of the topic at hand.

They want to ban silencers as they think only criminals own them. I guess around 500,000 people who own them legally are criminals.

The “Help Empower Americans to Respond Act of 2019” or the “HEAR Act” aims to outlaw legal ownership of silencers (except the usual exceptions of law enforcement and the government).

I suggest reading any of these articles to learn more about this bill and see the ignorance with your own eyes. How do these people get elected?
