AR pistols- new proposed rule -> SBR

[StoneHendge]

Um, already happened. Several years ago a president of the United States decided to stop deporting illegal immigrants that fell into a particular category. A few years later another president wanted to start enforcing that again. The SCOTUS said no.

In employment law it's called 'past practice'. You have a rule on the books that you don't enforce. Courts might not let you start enforcing it at a later date because you established a 'past practice' that allowed the behavior in the past. Going forward it is allowed behavior.

DACA illegal aliens registered with the Federal Government and paid a fee in exchange for amnesty. That's the same deal "pistol" owners are being offered. Register your "pistol" with the ATF, pay your fee and it's all good. Or if you don't want to do that, make it conform to the pistol requirements or convert it into a rifle. And if that doesn't work for you, you can always destroy it. The DACA ruling would be comparable if they later said "just kidding, turn all of those registered weapons in." (Which is why I have zero interest in AR pistols, SBRs or suppressors).

Employer's rules aren't laws.
