#1 Where is the law enacted by congress? How could this stand up in court?

Last Time I checked.
The US Federal Courts ruled no Federal Agency has the authority to just decide to make rules that infringe on and violate the US Constitution Rights.

Otherwise, we'd be living under an Authoritarian style government, with our rights subject to any unelected bureaucrats' whims.

Oops! What was I thinking, saying rights?
That is exactly what we have been seeing in DC. lately.

Unelected bureaucrats' deciding what our rights are.

#5 ^ Bump stock. Not the same thing.

#6 The rationale is the same, though - Congress didn't grant the ATF the authority to make those rules.

#7 ^ Agreed. But the wheel must turn again to arrive at what we already know.

#8 Short-Barreled Rifles (Wiki) :"The United States' regulation of short-barreled rifles was the result of the National Firearms Act of 1934 which also imposed restrictions on short barreled shotguns, suppressors and machine guns.[3] Short-barreled rifle (SBR) is a legal designation in the United States, referring to a shoulder-fired, rifled firearm, made from a rifle, with a barrel length of less than 16 in (41 cm) or overall length of less than 26 in (66 cm), or a handgun fitted with a buttstock and a barrel of less than 16 inches length. In the United States, an SBR is an item regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) as a Title II weapon. In the absence of local laws prohibiting ownership, American civilians may own an SBR provided it is registered with the ATF, and a $200 tax is paid prior to taking possession of or creating the firearm."

TL/DR: You put a removable 'brace' or stock on a pistol and it becomes a SBR and you have to apply for a Tax Stamp from the ATF ("Pretty please, may I?").

#9 You only need the barrel to be 1/4 inch beyond the arbitrary minimum and you are good to go. This is a phony problem.

#10 Just about the length of, uhm... compensator threads.
