West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey told Breitbart News Saturday that President Joe Biden’s pistol brace regulation serves as the latest attempt to criminalize Americans.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) issued a regulation that would reclassify pistol stabilizer braces as short-barrel rifles, which would make braces subject to more restrictions.
Morrisey said 50 percent to 75 percent of all Americans who have pistol braces might be deemed felons even if they have not heard about Biden’s new regulation.
This serves as the latest instance of the Biden administration trying to “criminalize” Americans and “make it more difficult to obtain guns that people fire more accurately,” according to Morrisey.
