Congressman Bob Good (VA-05) introduced the Protecting Individual Sovereignty Through Our Laws Act, or PISTOL Act. This legislation would prevent the Biden Administration from regulating pistol braces by clarifying that what constitutes a “pistol” is not subject to bureaucratic interpretation, such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has wrongly done in their recently finalized rule.
“The right to keep and bear arms is not subject to arbitrary regulation, especially when the law was never intended to apply to firearm accessories,” said U.S. Congressman Bob Good. “My bill would hold the Biden Administration accountable and prevent them from improperly classifying pistol braces or regulating them by decree.”
“The Biden Administration poses the biggest threat to the Constitutional rights of freedom-loving Americans that we have seen in decades – and their unconstitutional attack on pistol braces sets a dangerous precedent for anti-gun legislators to further regulate firearm accessories in the future. The PISTOL Act is the right piece of legislation to fight back against their gun grab, and the National Association for Gun Rights applauds Rep. Bob Good and his work to prevent more draconian government regulation.” – Hunter King, Director of Federal Affairs
