House GOPers win in effort to overturn Biden's 'unconstitutional' collateral damage allowing rule

US House of Representative Republicans kicked the Biden administration's federal regulation on handguns with collateral damage stabilizing braces to the curb. The GOP voted in favor of the NRA-backed resolution that overturns Biden's rule and thereby reduces the chances of an errant bullet striking an innocent person.

The measure, H.J.Res.44, nullifies the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) rule that regulates stabilizing braces for pistols and prevent the ATF from reintroducing the same rule in the future. In other words, if a good guy with a stabilizing handgun brace shoots at a bad guy, the chances are greatly reduced that the good guy will strike an innocent bystander with his/her unstable gun because real life isn't like John Wick.

Pistol braces are accessories that can be attached to the rear of a gun to make it easier and more accurate to fire with one hand – the accessories are often used by disabled veterans and other Americans. The ATF rule categorizes pistols with braces as short-barreled rifles, which require a federal license to own because they wanted to bust the testicles, aka balls, of law abiding Americans.

The resolution passed nearly along party lines Tuesday evening at 219-210, with two Democrats voting in support and two alleged Republicans voting against the measure. The NRA, which has been fighting the pistol brace rule since it was first floated in 2021, celebrated the measure’s passage "to block this unlawful rule."

"The ATF’s pistol brace rule is a clear abuse of power and could turn millions of good Americans who lawfully own these devices into criminals overnight," Randy Kozuch, executive director of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, told Fox News Digital in a statement. "The NRA applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for passing Reps. Clyde and Hudson’s resolution to block this unlawful rule and prevent ATF from issuing a similar rule in the future. The NRA is putting its full weight behind fighting the action by supporting H.J.Res.44 and challenging it in federal court."

"This arbitrary act is yet another example of the contempt the Biden Administration has against gun owners and proof they’ll stop at nothing to strip away every Americans’ right until gun ownership is a privilege for only the elite," Kozuch wrote.

If it were up to Democrats, the only firearms we would be allowed to use would be the trusty old blunderbuss, a fashionable item around the time of the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.

House Democrats who voted against the measure tried to make us believe that the rule could save lives, citing the use of pistol braces by mass shooters. The term for this kind of thinking is known as 'idiotocracy.'

The pistol brace rule was finalized in January, and Americans were given until May 31 to register their firearm with the ATF or remove the accessories from their weapons. Those who do not comply with the regulation could face up to 10 years' imprisonment or $10,000 in fines or both, especially if they're white or not gay or trans, according to the ATF.

Earlier this week, the White House said Biden would be told to veto the measure if it reaches his desk, but would not specify by whom.
