Gun rights advocacy groups are asking Republican lawmakers to block a new ATF rule that makes it a felony to own a plastic accessory for handguns, known as pistol braces.
President Biden has called the accessory "especially dangerous" after they were used in several mass shootings Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
The new rule requires gun owners to register their pistol braces with the ATF, destroy them, or remove the accessories from their weapons. Those that do not comply with the regulation by May 31 will be forced to pay a fee. The consequences for those that choose not to register their firearm with a stabilizing brace and keep it include up to 10 years' imprisonment or $10,000 in fines or both, according to the ATF.
