Hello, welcome back to another T-Rex talk. I mentioned last week that I was going to have an interview.

And I shot the interview, and the interview is coming up. And I almost rolled a show just by going

straight to that pre-taped interview, but I wanted to talk about some stuff that happened this past week.

So, apparently on the third, the ATF sent a cease

and desist letter to Q the firearm manufacturing company that makes the Honey Badger, and they

basically disallowed the existence, the legal existence of the pistol brace that is on the Honey Badger,

which is a kind of an interesting thing to do, and I'll talk about why in a minute.

But on the interwebs, there have been various people responding to this letter in various ways.

Generally speaking, there has been round condemnation of this particular letter, this particular stance, this particular action that the ATF has taken.

And then there's some other people who talk about the fact that this is a nuanced issue with multiple layers.

We should look at all the facts. And believe it or not, I completely agree with all of those people,

because this is a multi-layered issue. And every single layer of what is happening should really

be condemned as vociferously as possible. So let's go through a couple of the things that I wanted

to talk about. So one of the things that's interesting about the letter is they have specifically picked Q,

which is, I would say, a medium-sized manufacturer.

Like in some ways, they're a small firearm manufacturer.

They're not SIG or Remington.

And they've gone out of their way to pick a specific brace, a brace that is not

very widespread. It's not a brace that's on every gun. It's not something from SBA, but it is

nevertheless a brace that has been on the market for years, and there's tens of thousands of

them out there. The ATF has made it clear before that pistol braces are okay.

It's okay to put a pistol brace on a pistol.
