Because they believe people are stupid enough to follow what they're doing. The Congress knows very well that it is against the Second Amendment for them to legislate against guns so they get corporations and other organizations to "outlaw" them and they believe that we the people are stupid enough to believe that has been turned into a law.
Because they can't get the Congress to pass another assault weapons ban. So they are moving on any other front they can to do it via rulemaking by the unelected administrative state. Silver lining however, is each time they reach too far, the new conservative-majority SCOTUS has been paring back the administrative state's power. They did it to the EPA and they should do it again to the ATF if they move forward with this rule.
@@SKULLTHEWIZARD Still doesn't make any of it "constitutional". One day "we the people" we realize collectively, that we are the ones that hold the overall power, we just have to get past the arguing and division first, then the corrupt powers at be will regret their actions.

@PaulKinley54 Um, I teach a college course on Comparative Politics and the U.S. Senate is one of the smallest legislative chambers on the planet in terms of the number of delegates. Nice try, though!

yeah its really demoralizing seeing conservatives takes on liberals and they almost always seem to just say that they're stupid. All that does is make people underestimate what these demons are capable of. They're not stupid or incompetent. They're evil, and they know exactly how much they're ruining everything.

We didnt vote for the ATF director, he's not a law maker and doesnt get to make up "rules" as he sees fit. If this is how he's gonna act then he needs to go.
As Louisiana's US Senator Kennedy stated, Squid-Brain President Biden came up w this to ban pistol braces - ordering ATF to follow his command, that is intended to lead to more Gun Control. Pistol braces were designed for DISABLED persons - who do not have use of both arms - like our Veterans.
Trying to aply video logic to real life: a yes, let me Take My smg Glock aside so i can Take My Glock with no stock . Or Let me put This 9mm with a stock so i can be The American sniper while hitting someone in New México from whasinton with a "rifle".
yep, the issue comes in with an unintended use. first gun companies made pistols in rifle caliber... often with very long barrels. For example an AK in 5.45x39. with a 10" barrel, firing this 1 handed, heck firing it 2 handed is almost impossible. but by making this a pistol, it get around the "Small barrel rifle" classificaiton. THEN if you add on a faux stock, aka a pistol grip that can be used as a stock, you have an SBR - poor mans AKS-74U rifle with 10 inch barrel and folding or collapsing stock. Simply by changing the name of the stock, into "pistol grip". and trying to say, its not my fault if the end user uses it as a stock instead of a grip. see the issue?
I am a hardcore supporter of the 2nd amendment, and, in fact, I think short barreled rifles should be legal. That being said, it is disingenuous to say that that an AK or AR pistol with a brace isn’t for all practical purposes a short barreled rifle. The braces even look like collapsible rifle stocks, just without ergonomic shoulder pads. And I don’t think there are 40 million one-armed shooters out there. Most people who buy braces do so to get around limitations on short barreled rifles.
@@rvproducts4u yep, i see all of this as a way to get around SBR rules. And while i see a use for SBR's myself... Those uses are limited. the point to these very short carbines, is as a weapon for vehicle crews, to fire from within vehicles. For aircraft crews, in the case of downed aircraft. And for heavy weapons crews to give them a light weapon to use while carrying and working mortar and such. These uses don't really fall into what a civilian needs other then... drive by shootings. Or trying to bring them into area's concealed. Which... is why they were banned in the first place. For civilian uses, at best they might be useful for backpacking, bush planes that have very limited space and weight limits but need to carry a defensive weapon that COULD stop large animals. (SBR AR-15 in 300 blackout for example). even then though they would be underkill for black or brow bears let alone grizzlies.

They call it a brace but we can all see it’s a stock. Rifles have length requirements by congressional law. If they want short barrel rifles then change the laws. ATF is trying to enforce the laws on the books.
@John-kx9vq bullshit. You know jack about firearms so should probably refrain from commenting on which you don't know. The ATF is doing nothing other than attempting to create LAW which is something they cannot do, but are doing the administration's bidding.
Sounds like when they passed drinking and driving laws. It was too much government. Seat belts too much government. At least for the people who were killing others in their cars they disagreed. Let's start using common sense. If this makes it easy for a mass shooter to shoulder his gun one handed makes it easier for them to hold onto their weapon when struck, then it is common sense to ban it for healthy people. What reason would a healthy person need it?
@@John-kx9vqBut you’re not recognizing the differences between the legal definitions of rifle and pistol. These differences matter. People seem to forget why the stabilizing brace was created in the first place. Injured veterans. No person is as accurate with hand as they are with both. You don’t want people less accurate.
@@ImWilson1 "what reason would a healthy person need it?" To use their own gun to stop a criminal from harming themselves, their family, and/or their fellow man. If it makes it easier for a mass shooter then it also makes it easier for a law abiding citizen, an armed one being the best way to stop a mass shooter. Just like how if you banned guns then only violent criminals would posses guns. Let's start using common sense.
Pistol braces actually make firearms SAFER !!! Because it stabilizes the pistol and improved accuracy. So you actually hit what you're shooting at. Because when you DON'T HIT what you're shooting at , you end up shooting things that you DIDN'T INTEND TO SHOOT. Every time you fire a firearm the bullet goes somewhere. It either goes where you intended it to go (which is the desired result) ,,, ORRR ,,, It goes somewhere that you DIDN'T INTEND for it to go (extremely undesirable result) !!! So for goodness sake , and for all the people who are standing behind the target. For all the children , keep pistol braces LEGAL !!!

Congress doesn't even have that authority. Literally, Congress doesn't have authority to regulate jack shit about what firearms you can and can't use. Founding fathers had canons, fuck Kennedy's assessment about "reasonable" restrictions. Fuck them for manipulating the people out of constitutional understanding. You have every right to own firearms of any kind. "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" was SUPER direct and the point was clear as day.
As Senator Kennedy has said: "You can't fix stupid but you can vote them out" Hopefully, that is what will happen in 2024. We need more in Washington like Senator Kennedy.
Yep…and the worst reasoning is, “You can’t own an SBR, suppressor, machine gun, stabilizing brace, etc. because they are way too dangerous. BUT, if you pay me $200-400 per item, then you can own them.” 🤯 Either they’re too dangerous or they’re not. How does paying for them make them less dangerous? Wow! It couldn’t just be about control and money…that would be: “Totalitarianism is a form of government that attempts to assert total control over the lives of its citizens. It is characterized by strong central rule that attempts to control and direct all aspects of individual life THROUGH COERCION AND REPRESSION. It does not permit individual freedom”. Sound familiar?
What Joe Biden said regarding braces was truly incredible. Even coming from Biden, that was an intensely idiotic claim that braces let you shoot bigger caliber rounds.
at 65 and dr.s have said am handicaped.. wouldnt try the .44 double action i used sled dogin in alaska back in da day.. brace or duct tape be the only way
Never In my life have I ever seen or heard of any criminal using a stabilizing brace during a crime. I constantly see pictures of confiscated weapons and drugs and not once has there ever been a stabilizing brace in any of those cases.
As a life-long Louisiana resident, I solemnly swear to continue voting for this man. We need his voice in Washington calmly calling out absurdities such as this rule.
You should let him know that the 2A does not GIVE us the right to keep and bear arms. We are born with that right. And it is not subject to ANY exceptions whatsoever.
@BlackFlag714you don’t know what you’re talking about. An AR15 with a barrel shorter than 16 inches and a total length under 26 inches can not have a shouldering stock otherwise it would be illegal. You can have no stock, a bare buffer tube, or a pistol brace attached to make it a legal pistol.
@BlackFlag714 and the 2nd Amendment is unrestricted, unlike the shit he was saying. You can buy cannons. You could own WARSHIPS back in the day, as people DID.
and that the 2nd is limited, Infringed literally means Limit.... THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE LIMITED..... All Gun Laws are Unconstitutional
Yeah, exactly. The ATF knows every single person who bought a firearm with a brace already attached and they will be coming to every one of those peoples doors to find out which option for compliance they picked.

I agree with everything said but I must confess the fact that you can shoulder the pistol now that it has the brace is the thing the atf wants to address. There is a better fix though. Its call ebolish the NFA
Couple of issues where this senator is completely wrong: 1: stabilizing braces are NOT banned at all. You just can’t put these on a pistol this turning the pistol into an SBR 2: All SBRs MUST be registered under the NFA. 3: Law abiding gun owners don’t try to circumvent the NFA like they have been for 10 years.
@@wizzle0979 actually they are controlled. You can’t purchase a brace without filing a form 1 or a form 4. Now if you already own one you would be fine but to purchase any more you have to do the same paperwork to get a suppressor

The 2nd Amendment does not give rights. It prohibits government infringement of a natural right that exists prior to and regardless of the institution of government. The purpose of our constitutional government is to secure our rights, not to grant or revoke them.

Using a shoulder brace like these you can make more accurate shots quicker because when you shoot a pistol the bullet ignites and pushes the gun back so before you fire again you must move the gun back this is recoil and with the brace you move less. These should be ban for this reason
@@Workstarfish798that’s just a stupid argument. You’re either completely for or completely against guns. No in between. Because when you start banning modifications you might as well ban all guns.
The founding fathers knew they should separate those who create laws and those who enforce the law. This is fundamental to our constitution and yet the ATF is able to cross that line. We as a people should be demanding this be changed with our votes.
The executive branch should've never had as much power as it does. The entire structure is now legacy and dated, even though it was great in its day. A network based state with open source foundations will be the next step as people stop complying with legacy governments
The founding fathers guns took 40 seconds to load each round and were incredibly inaccurate. You don't think they would have changed things after the 50th school shooting?

@@CoolGobyFishsure but the liberals aren't going to repeal any gun laws, no matter how stupid they are. So we resort to things like slidefires and braces
@@stevenwagner9912 Not really. We live in an age where there are indeed certain weapons that are kept from being publicly available for sale for good reason. The most obvious being a nuclear bomb or missile. If the wrong person(s) gets ahold of advanced weapons shit can go south very quickly domestically. Take a look at Mexico and the Cartels. The Cartels are better equipped then the Military. Publicly selling advanced weapons to the masses without an extensive vetting process will result in escalation in firepower by criminals/terrorists which would also result in escalation in police equipment in a cycle costing lots of lives and money. Believe me man I am mostly all for the 2nd Amendment but unrestricted access to advanced weapons is no joke. Obviously a pistol brace ban is stupid though. We have to carefully consider what should and should not be restricted and hit that sweet stop while understanding that somebody somewhere is probably going to get killed regardless. We cant do anything about that. Right now I think there are a little too many restrictions rather then too little.
@andrewbartell8962 such an ignorant statement. No school shooting involved a handicapped person using a pistol brace that allowed them to hold a gun. If you are not in favor of armed security guards being at schools, then just admit you do not want children to be safe.

My stepfather was Army veteran who lost his arm in an explosion. He was an average shooter before he joined the service. He is now 88 years old and uses a pistol brace because he only has one arm.

He did miss an opportunity to drive the point home by saying that there are published documents testifying that the ATF has previously analyzed these braces and stated that they do not turn pistols into short barreled rifles. But, either way, excellent explanation and delivery of actual facts and content that the left loves to ignore.

Considering they waived the stamp fee to allow the "grandfathering" of these, it's 100 percent the latter of your point. It was just a power move to get people to register at their own will.
After the bonus army 1932 March, and the force used by Patton, Eisenhower, and MacArthur using the military and bayonettes against WWI vets, Congress began the NFA. The NFA was to prevent those that knew how to use them from having them. Never to stop criminals.
no, theyve said it outright. they want to ban ALL semi-autos, this is just the second step, the first was to blur the distinction between semi and fully auto weapons in the publics mind (such as when the semi auto was invented it was referred to as an 'auto loader' so the average person in that time called them automatics. as time went on there was a distinction between auto load and auto fire. auto fire became the new definition of automatic (the definition we use today). the gun grabbers want this confusion, so people that dont know guns think of auto fire when they hear semi auto.
The 200$ tax stamp was put into place because that's what a Thompson sub gun cost back in the day that would be like 2000$ back in the 20s an 30s ppl couldn't afford it but the tax stamp price never changed over time it was originally to keep machineguns out of the hands of ppl that's the only reason it ever came about

People, including congressmen, should be required to pass a basic test on firearms before having any opinion on them. I have family members who think that "semi-automatic" weapons should be banned because they do not even understand what a semi automatic weapon even is. (I asked them what they thought a semi-automatic weapon was, and they described to me a fully automatic weapon.)
The same applies for animal regulations. They keep trying to slip in ridiculous laws that ban everything thats not native every few years. The people proposing the laws never have any idea what they are talking about either. Even pet fish, hamsters, etc are effected. Even animals that could never survive in the state are proposed to be banned, just because there are states they could survive in. They are turning state problems into nationwide laws. Every few years I have to fight just to be able to keep my completely nonvenomous pet snakes. For the record, all 2,800+ nonvenomous snake species COMBINED have killed less humans in all recorded history than dogs kill every single year. Infact, dogs kill more humans yearly JUST in america, than nonvenomous snakes have killed worldwide in all recorded history. Laws are stupid.... people hear "snake" or "gun" and start thinking with their emotions instead of thinking logically.
Total agreement. Did you see Whoopi on the view saying all automatic weapons should be banned? Lololol (and she owns a firearm, which is terrifying). I'm a 55 yr old single woman who owns 13 firearms. Thank God I don't own any of the dreaded automatic firearms in question....

your comment was spot on. ATF is a huge problem. If seed planter had then show up at his door for a bull crap rule I bet he’d be singing a different tune. However, like always there are the short gamers who only believe something is an issue when it PERSONALLY effects them big time!
Are you sure? When does an AR-15 become an AR-15 pistol? Same bullets, same magazines, with barrels of a similar length as a really short AR-15. For the purpose of Kennedy's speech, he used a picture of a brace on a Glock pistol which uses pistol-caliber ammunition, but not all "pistols" do. There are definitely some gray areas here. The regulation, as-proposed, is idiotic, but there is certainly room for clarification between a rifle and pistol if the regulations are going to be different between them.
@@MercmedicYou are 100% correct, but you're asking people to understand firearms on a level those who are in the "all guns scary" camp just don't want to. This entire debacle comes our way because those put in positions to regulate firearms are not subject matter experts. Understanding their intention to prevent higher power cartridge firearms from easy concealment, they needed to define pistols and rifles by cartridge / caliber and then limit those cartridges to a given barrel length. That said, I'm in favor of none of this.
NO. Does he have moments yeah but in this he is nothing more than a shit politician he can't agree with infringement and in the same breath fight it. Kennedy is a joke

Sen. Kennedy is clearly an "old-school common sense" individual, easily noted in his clear & basic explanation of pistol braces, & that they are simply an ergonomic addition to a pistol, which does not affect the pistol's basic design & function at all. Basically, Sen. Kennedy told the truth of the matter, & the Leftist politicians & community only promote & propagate lies & distortions.

Why is the ATF legislating and creating law without the consent of Congress? Their actions are illegal.
Because they believe people are stupid enough to follow what they're doing. The Congress knows very well that it is against the Second Amendment for them to legislate against guns so they get corporations and other organizations to "outlaw" them and they believe that we the people are stupid enough to believe that has been turned into a law.
Because that's their job
@@SKULLTHEWIZARDso they’re an Illegal Group.
Because they can't get the Congress to pass another assault weapons ban. So they are moving on any other front they can to do it via rulemaking by the unelected administrative state.
Silver lining however, is each time they reach too far, the new conservative-majority SCOTUS has been paring back the administrative state's power. They did it to the EPA and they should do it again to the ATF if they move forward with this rule.
@@SKULLTHEWIZARD Still doesn't make any of it "constitutional". One day "we the people" we realize collectively, that we are the ones that hold the overall power, we just have to get past the arguing and division first, then the corrupt powers at be will regret their actions.
I’m amazed as a gun owner about how little the people that rule on these things actually know about the things they rule on. It’s scary as hell.
It's our duty to resist tyranny.
They make it up as they go along and expect the sheep to follow their made up rules.
I'd leave it as "how little they know" about anything.
wait , you mean that the brace doesnt change the caliber? an ar15 isnt a huge machine gun that can shoot down plains and blow up trainyards???
I wonder if we are able to hold them accountable for false statements , like isnt there a law against it.
Since when is an unelected body (ATF) allowed to make rules/laws that turn citizens into felons?
Exactly...same for the IRS!
Ask Homeland Security.?
Ask the government why they haven't overrun the ATF and held all of its leadership in confinement for violating the law.
The ATF and the BLM ..... bureau of land management......are real SOBs. These guys are the ones who will assassinate you openly in the name of the law. Remember Ruby Ridge? they're like the marines of the FBI . These guys are bad ass. Really mean. No mercy. They've killed women and children my friend on US soil on their own property. I mean women with babies in arms at their own homes. Babies shot too. Where did they get the balls to make laws? From the leftist movement.

"Americans get so much government...they choke on it".~Senator John Kennedy, 2023
@PaulKinley54 Um, I teach a college course on Comparative Politics and the U.S. Senate is one of the smallest legislative chambers on the planet in terms of the number of delegates. Nice try, though!
We have more government than we need. We have more government than we can afford.
@@stevenwagner9912Yeah we shouldnnt have a government!!!! Let’s us Americans be free!!!!!
He is a master at aphorisms. President Lincoln and he would have appreciated each other!
PaulKinley, the fact that the majority is ruled by the few is exactly the point. It's not the numbers, it's the power they hold! We are choking on government over reach...in this case today, with the intent to kill us!
It’s not that these lawmakers are stupid, it’s that they think we’re stupid.
yeah its really demoralizing seeing conservatives takes on liberals and they almost always seem to just say that they're stupid. All that does is make people underestimate what these demons are capable of. They're not stupid or incompetent. They're evil, and they know exactly how much they're ruining everything.
And then I look at interviews of the average citizens and I'll look at the people that they vote for, I think they're right, I think the majority of Americans are very stupid across both parties,
The sheep that believe everything without question are definitely stupid.
I personally think they're all brainwashed by $oros & $chwab's money. Those two SS officers have been planning their, "Fourth Reich" for a LONG, LONG time. They have SS officers placed in high political places, ALL over the globe. They just FORGOT who WE are! We are a people of Justice! GIVE US JUSTICE FOR THIS TAKE-OVER. NOW!
Well, we are. I mean, Joe was voted in by Americans.
We didnt vote for the ATF director, he's not a law maker and doesnt get to make up "rules" as he sees fit.
If this is how he's gonna act then he needs to go.
The biggest issue is that he's a political appointee.
The ATF’s existence is un-American and an offense to the Constitution and a free people.
He didn't come up with the rule. The AFT came up with it. But yea they are unelected.
As Louisiana's US Senator Kennedy stated, Squid-Brain President Biden came up w this to ban pistol braces - ordering ATF to follow his command, that is intended to lead to more Gun Control.
Pistol braces were designed for DISABLED persons - who do not have use of both arms - like our Veterans.
It seems to work for the Supreme Court - and they are somehow allowed to accept gifts from billionaires
"Pistols are pistols, rifles are rifles, duh" damn man I laughed as hard as could
Trying to aply video logic to real life: a yes, let me Take My smg Glock aside so i can Take My Glock with no stock .
Or
Let me put This 9mm with a stock so i can be The American sniper while hitting someone in New México from whasinton with a "rifle".
yep, the issue comes in with an unintended use. first gun companies made pistols in rifle caliber... often with very long barrels. For example an AK in 5.45x39. with a 10" barrel, firing this 1 handed, heck firing it 2 handed is almost impossible. but by making this a pistol, it get around the "Small barrel rifle" classificaiton. THEN if you add on a faux stock, aka a pistol grip that can be used as a stock, you have an SBR - poor mans AKS-74U rifle with 10 inch barrel and folding or collapsing stock. Simply by changing the name of the stock, into "pistol grip". and trying to say, its not my fault if the end user uses it as a stock instead of a grip.
see the issue?
I am a hardcore supporter of the 2nd amendment, and, in fact, I think short barreled rifles should be legal. That being said, it is disingenuous to say that that an AK or AR pistol with a brace isn’t for all practical purposes a short barreled rifle. The braces even look like collapsible rifle stocks, just without ergonomic shoulder pads. And I don’t think there are 40 million one-armed shooters out there. Most people who buy braces do so to get around limitations on short barreled rifles.
@@rvproducts4u yep, i see all of this as a way to get around SBR rules. And while i see a use for SBR's myself... Those uses are limited.
the point to these very short carbines, is as a weapon for vehicle crews, to fire from within vehicles. For aircraft crews, in the case of downed aircraft. And for heavy weapons crews to give them a light weapon to use while carrying and working mortar and such.
These uses don't really fall into what a civilian needs other then... drive by shootings. Or trying to bring them into area's concealed. Which... is why they were banned in the first place.
For civilian uses, at best they might be useful for backpacking, bush planes that have very limited space and weight limits but need to carry a defensive weapon that COULD stop large animals. (SBR AR-15 in 300 blackout for example). even then though they would be underkill for black or brow bears let alone grizzlies.

so odd that you have conversations about the ATF with everyone you know.
i can't think of a single time i've had those conversations... but i'm also not a terrorist.
i've come to a conclusion that all the people who become ATF really hate guns and just want to destroy them all.
"Americans get so much government,they choke on it"! Well said Senator
They call it a brace but we can all see it’s a stock. Rifles have length requirements by congressional law. If they want short barrel rifles then change the laws. ATF is trying to enforce the laws on the books.
@John-kx9vq bullshit. You know jack about firearms so should probably refrain from commenting on which you don't know. The ATF is doing nothing other than attempting to create LAW which is something they cannot do, but are doing the administration's bidding.
Sounds like when they passed drinking and driving laws. It was too much government. Seat belts too much government. At least for the people who were killing others in their cars they disagreed. Let's start using common sense. If this makes it easy for a mass shooter to shoulder his gun one handed makes it easier for them to hold onto their weapon when struck, then it is common sense to ban it for healthy people. What reason would a healthy person need it?
@@John-kx9vqBut you’re not recognizing the differences between the legal definitions of rifle and pistol. These differences matter.
People seem to forget why the stabilizing brace was created in the first place. Injured veterans. No person is as accurate with hand as they are with both. You don’t want people less accurate.
@@ImWilson1 "what reason would a healthy person need it?"
To use their own gun to stop a criminal from harming themselves, their family, and/or their fellow man. If it makes it easier for a mass shooter then it also makes it easier for a law abiding citizen, an armed one being the best way to stop a mass shooter. Just like how if you banned guns then only violent criminals would posses guns. Let's start using common sense.
Pistol braces actually make firearms SAFER !!! Because it stabilizes the pistol and improved accuracy. So you actually hit what you're shooting at. Because when you DON'T HIT what you're shooting at , you end up shooting things that you DIDN'T INTEND TO SHOOT. Every time you fire a firearm the bullet goes somewhere. It either goes where you intended it to go (which is the desired result) ,,, ORRR ,,, It goes somewhere that you DIDN'T INTEND for it to go (extremely undesirable result) !!! So for goodness sake , and for all the people who are standing behind the target. For all the children , keep pistol braces LEGAL !!!
2nd amendment is unlimited the way it was written. When it was written you could have anything the government had.

I agree with everything said but I must confess the fact that you can shoulder the pistol now that it has the brace is the thing the atf wants to address. There is a better fix though. Its call ebolish the NFA
Couple of issues where this senator is completely wrong:
1: stabilizing braces are NOT banned at all. You just can’t put these on a pistol this turning the pistol into an SBR
2: All SBRs MUST be registered under the NFA.
3: Law abiding gun owners don’t try to circumvent the NFA like they have been for 10 years.

Using a shoulder brace like these you can make more accurate shots quicker because when you shoot a pistol the bullet ignites and pushes the gun back so before you fire again you must move the gun back this is recoil and with the brace you move less. These should be ban for this reason
@@Workstarfish798that’s just a stupid argument. You’re either completely for or completely against guns. No in between. Because when you start banning modifications you might as well ban all guns.
The founding fathers knew they should separate those who create laws and those who enforce the law. This is fundamental to our constitution and yet the ATF is able to cross that line. We as a people should be demanding this be changed with our votes.
The executive branch should've never had as much power as it does. The entire structure is now legacy and dated, even though it was great in its day. A network based state with open source foundations will be the next step as people stop complying with legacy governments
The founding fathers guns took 40 seconds to load each round and were incredibly inaccurate. You don't think they would have changed things after the 50th school shooting?
Atf needs to be disbanded.
@FrankFurther read the federalist papers pal.
Assuming you are correct, which you're not, the Founders gave us an amendment process, which has been done 28x in American history. Go for it, the Constitutional way.
Senator Kennedy, you are my favorite senator in the United States!

He lives in agony then.
I thought I liked him. Then I heard him say that our rights to keep and bear arms can be infringed. He is part way to understanding the Constitution.
@@stevenwagner9912 Not really. We live in an age where there are indeed certain weapons that are kept from being publicly available for sale for good reason. The most obvious being a nuclear bomb or missile. If the wrong person(s) gets ahold of advanced weapons shit can go south very quickly domestically. Take a look at Mexico and the Cartels. The Cartels are better equipped then the Military. Publicly selling advanced weapons to the masses without an extensive vetting process will result in escalation in firepower by criminals/terrorists which would also result in escalation in police equipment in a cycle costing lots of lives and money. Believe me man I am mostly all for the 2nd Amendment but unrestricted access to advanced weapons is no joke. Obviously a pistol brace ban is stupid though. We have to carefully consider what should and should not be restricted and hit that sweet stop while understanding that somebody somewhere is probably going to get killed regardless. We cant do anything about that. Right now I think there are a little too many restrictions rather then too little.
@@ManpigeonIt's legal to own a nuke. There's an atf form for it.

Thank you senator Kennedy for representing not only your constituency, but many, many other patriotic Americans.
I dont have that right to own a gun and i was born here and have no felonies.. so how i was born negates me from having an american right? Pfff.
Thank him after all the new school shootings when the children discover the wonderful creation of pistol braces!!!
I'm buying all my non existent kids a pistol brace and sending them to the same school as yours!!! What could go wrong???
@andrewbartell8962 such an ignorant statement. No school shooting involved a handicapped person using a pistol brace that allowed them to hold a gun.
If you are not in favor of armed security guards being at schools, then just admit you do not want children to be safe.
andrewbartell8962 I'm not worried about your non existent kids. You buy them as many imaginary pistol braces as you want. You can't buy them any guns though because you suffer from a mental illness. The system works!
My stepfather was Army veteran who lost his arm in an explosion.
He was an average shooter before he joined the service.
He is now 88 years old and uses a pistol brace because he only has one arm.
My question to the ATF..
Are you seriously going to come the rest of my stepfather and throw him in prison because he is a veteran who has lost his arm and the only way for him to continue his favorite target shooting since he was a child and now since he is older the ATF is going to come after him.
Meanwhile violent criminals are out there killing people and my stepfather was a hero...
You're commenting on a yt video, this is not going anywhere man.
If they found out. Yes. Fine of up to 250k and prison. Classified felony.
Insanity but Director of ATF made it really clear.
They need to fast track these court fights to the supreme court. This is absolutely unconstitutional.
How do you fast track the cases?

@@douglassepic9030 the supreme court can grab any case and write an opinion if they believe it needed although they usually won’t do something like that

Thank you Forbes for continuing to cover this news.

When he mentions the penalty of 5-10 years in prison he should have added to that: “unless of course you’re part of president Biden’s family”
Yea caus if your not, you don't have to worry about that because if your not Bidens son you never even get charged with such a stupid law that if we're to be actually enforced the economy would slow down from all the millions of people suddenly not at their job ..
yeah, especially how ivanka and jared biden made almost a billion dollars while "advising" president biden. or how potus biden gets billions of bucks from saudi and china - and all those billions in loans from the russian mafia bank (deutsche bank)... o, or how jared biden PUBLICLY blackmailed qatar to bail out his property for a cool billion AND THEN received billions from saudi after the bidens stole national security secrets (and tons of secrets about the middle east).
those effing bidens and the two tier justice system that ALWAYS ignores their crimes and treasons!
also, all those jan6 terrorists and traitors and everyone who provide aid and comfort to those enemies of the USA (which is treason also) - cuz they supported biden's attempt to overthrow the election and prevent the peaceful transfer of power to joe...

Thankyou for standing up for us Senator Kennedy! You are one of the few left that has any common sense and cares about America left in our government.
Sen. John N Kennedy is one of my favorite Senators! He always has a well informed, intelligent responses. What he says makes much sense. All u have to do is to listen to him & you’ll see what I’m referring to. Wish we had more senators like Sen. Kennedy. America will be better as a result… keep up the good job sir. You’re a true American & what you say & do helps us all be better… thanks for all you to help make the US THE BEST COUNTRY & NATION IN WORLD!!!
Thanks for speaking up on this subject Mr. Kennedy
Sen. John Kennedy is the gold standard of common sense. Wish we had more like him.
The goal is to target law abiding citizens, not criminals.
Yep, criminals do not follow laws. By definition. All of this nonsense only affects law abiding citizens, and takes away their rights, piece by piece. The end goal is global communism (total global tyranny).
People control not crime control.
The criminals are what they are using to thin us out. After gun removal they'll just show up and shoot us. Guaranteed. All the criminals that came across the border are just waiting for Biden's GO signal. Why do you think they all got phones? Co-ordination.
How long do you suppose it would take an AI to sift our comments and categorize us accordingly as well?
The goal is to make law abiding citizens criminals by their definition.
This Senator said it oh so clearly! He hit every point that needed to be hit and then some. I'm glad this man is in the position he is in. This ATF "rule" (not law) is just stupidity. He did miss an opportunity to drive the point home by saying that there are published documents testifying that the ATF has previously analyzed these braces and stated that they do not turn pistols into short barreled rifles. But, either way, excellent explanation and delivery of actual facts and content that the left loves to ignore.
LOVE THIS MAN!!! He speaks with common sense. Need more straight talking people like him in government.
I would vote for him for president. He is smarter than anyone in congress or the senate and definitely smarter than Biden.😅
How do these bureaucrats get away with making laws and rules?? They are not elected. These three letter agencies are so out of control! We desperately need to tear down these agencies and restructure them with massive oversight, and checks and balances. The lifelong bureaucrats in these agencies think they are in charge and ruling our country. I love my country. I hate my government.

It's pure extortion. They want that $200 tax stamp fee, and the registration.
Considering they waived the stamp fee to allow the "grandfathering" of these, it's 100 percent the latter of your point. It was just a power move to get people to register at their own will.
After the bonus army 1932 March, and the force used by Patton, Eisenhower, and MacArthur using the military and bayonettes against WWI vets, Congress began the NFA.
The NFA was to prevent those that knew how to use them from having them. Never to stop criminals.
its the registration thats most important
no, theyve said it outright. they want to ban ALL semi-autos, this is just the second step, the first was to blur the distinction between semi and fully auto weapons in the publics mind (such as when the semi auto was invented it was referred to as an 'auto loader' so the average person in that time called them automatics. as time went on there was a distinction between auto load and auto fire. auto fire became the new definition of automatic (the definition we use today). the gun grabbers want this confusion, so people that dont know guns think of auto fire when they hear semi auto.
The 200$ tax stamp was put into place because that's what a Thompson sub gun cost back in the day that would be like 2000$ back in the 20s an 30s ppl couldn't afford it but the tax stamp price never changed over time it was originally to keep machineguns out of the hands of ppl that's the only reason it ever came about
Why are they allowing this charade to continue? The ATF cannot write “LAWS” and call them “rules” to force them upon the people.
Same shit all these governors did with covid with "Mandates"- *aka unconstitutional laws* which have all the legal weight of a strong suggestion.
Unfortunately, they just did and unless the courts overturn it we will have to deal with it.
They are dipping their toes into the water for the upcoming (& creeping) gun grab. They will tie it up in so many knots while criminalising as many Americans as possible through these 'rules' to help them enact & enable their tyranny of circumventing the constitution. This administration is anti American & is actively working against the people, infrastructure, institution & constitution.
Expect a LOT more of this kind of overreach, the Plandemic was a test to see what they could get away with, and they got away with a LOT.
You literally have no legal requirements to follow unconstitutional laws. It's really kinda simple.
Sen. Kennedy is an absolute national treasure… God Bless you good sir! We the people have your back
Squid brained....I love the way Sen. Kennedy speaks. On point every time!
That’s an insult to squids. Squids are very intelligent animals!
I don't remember the part of the constitution that said "The right of the people to keep and bear arms is reasonably restricted", pretty sure it says "Shall not be Infringed".
Yeah. I don't remember any part of the constitution that says that it can be ratified by a simple law, the Supreme Court, or precedence. I don't believe in exceptions or exigent circumstances for the 1st, 4th, 5th, or any other amendment.
It's not. Kennedy is totally wrong on this one as far as how the 2nd amendment is written. The supreme court shouldnt have any say. It's clearly written. Not subjective.
That was from the Supreme Court.
@@Paul-pj5qu The supreme court has no power to rewrite or amend the constitution. When the court interprets the constitution to mean things that anyone knows it doesn't say.... that's a betrayal of office and the public trust.
STOP acting like the US Constitution is still a valid document. Communists have taken over the USA and it is now a police state. You are all SLAVES and the gestapo WILL ruin your life whenever they so choose. Don't want to go along with being a slave? Good luck. They have everything you say, type, and even think, under 24/7 surveillance. "Heroes" were asleep at the wheel for decades while evil made constant progress until we are now at this point. The world abandoned God and people condoned killing unborn babies, so now you will all get what you get!
“Trigger Warning, This is a pistol brace, I know it’s scary” Hahahaha
I could listen to him talk all day
OMG When he pulled out the brace, I feared for my life.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

People, including congressmen, should be required to pass a basic test on firearms before having any opinion on them. I have family members who think that "semi-automatic" weapons should be banned because they do not even understand what a semi automatic weapon even is. (I asked them what they thought a semi-automatic weapon was, and they described to me a fully automatic weapon.)
do they know know what the word semi stands for or something?
Maybe a constitution test also. Pigs too.
The same applies for animal regulations. They keep trying to slip in ridiculous laws that ban everything thats not native every few years. The people proposing the laws never have any idea what they are talking about either. Even pet fish, hamsters, etc are effected. Even animals that could never survive in the state are proposed to be banned, just because there are states they could survive in. They are turning state problems into nationwide laws. Every few years I have to fight just to be able to keep my completely nonvenomous pet snakes. For the record, all 2,800+ nonvenomous snake species COMBINED have killed less humans in all recorded history than dogs kill every single year. Infact, dogs kill more humans yearly JUST in america, than nonvenomous snakes have killed worldwide in all recorded history. Laws are stupid.... people hear "snake" or "gun" and start thinking with their emotions instead of thinking logically.
Total agreement. Did you see Whoopi on the view saying all automatic weapons should be banned? Lololol (and she owns a firearm, which is terrifying).
I'm a 55 yr old single woman who owns 13 firearms. Thank God I don't own any of the dreaded automatic firearms in question....
Just like politicians must be forced to watch an abortion. See how many will still support it. Anyone who would, should be thrown in jail as a murderer!

Abolish and replace the ATF with no authority to create rules.
ATF is the least of our problems.
@@seedplanter7173 doesn't mean it isn't a problem and needs a replacement
your comment was spot on. ATF is a huge problem. If seed planter had then show up at his door for a bull crap rule I bet he’d be singing a different tune. However, like always there are the short gamers who only believe something is an issue when it PERSONALLY effects them big time!
"Pistols are pistols.. rifles are rifles.. DUH" 💀 he's not wrong tho 😂
Another idiot who doesn't understand. DUH !!
This is my rifle, and this is my gun!....
Are you sure? When does an AR-15 become an AR-15 pistol? Same bullets, same magazines, with barrels of a similar length as a really short AR-15. For the purpose of Kennedy's speech, he used a picture of a brace on a Glock pistol which uses pistol-caliber ammunition, but not all "pistols" do. There are definitely some gray areas here. The regulation, as-proposed, is idiotic, but there is certainly room for clarification between a rifle and pistol if the regulations are going to be different between them.
@@Mercmedic people have no clue about this
@@MercmedicYou are 100% correct, but you're asking people to understand firearms on a level those who are in the "all guns scary" camp just don't want to. This entire debacle comes our way because those put in positions to regulate firearms are not subject matter experts.
Understanding their intention to prevent higher power cartridge firearms from easy concealment, they needed to define pistols and rifles by cartridge / caliber and then limit those cartridges to a given barrel length.
That said, I'm in favor of none of this.
"Why would you want to make it harder to hit the correct target" my train of thought on this subject
We need more of this man.

Sen. Kennedy is clearly an "old-school common sense" individual, easily noted in his clear & basic explanation of pistol braces, & that they are simply an ergonomic addition to a pistol, which does not affect the pistol's basic design & function at all.
