Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz is Demanding that the ATF Stop Messing With Gun Owners

A few months ago, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz sent a number of letters calling on Attorney General William Barr and Acting Director Regina Lombardo at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), to stop to the agency’s attempts to restrict “the possession of certain pistol braces by American citizens.”

Fellow congressmen Bill Posey, Greg Steube, John Rutherford, Ted Yoho, Neal Dunn, and Daniel Webster joined Gaetz in signing on to a June 16 letter that criticized the ATF’s “practice of relying on arbitrary, non-public standards to promulgate general firearms policy hidden from public scrutiny and awareness.”

Dave Workman of AmmoLand noted that “Pistol arm braces were developed to provide more stability for people using AR-15-type semiauto pistols” In addition, pistol braces have “become popular accessories, with more than 2 million+ sold to gun owners, according to the June 16th, 2020 letter.”
