[QUOTE="BlackBelt, post: 5591538, member: 5867"] Clock is running on the tax-exempt registrations. Several lawsuits are pending, but unless an emergency declaration is made any decisions will be made after the tax-exempt deadline has passed. I imagine BATFE is not going to immediately go after unregistered brace owners after the deadline passes. More likely just an "add-on" offense if they catch you with one. If the courts dont halt the ban it is a pretty hefty punishment of max 10 years in prison and $250k fine. Most NFA ownership violation punishments that I've seen don't get the maximum sentence. It seems they typically get 2.5- 4.5 years in the pen and fines varying greatly, but they are always enough to sting. Of course the felony violation means no more firearms for the offender as well. If the courts do not issue an injunction before the deadline, I would advise not having an unregistered brace in your posession after that date. Illegal firearms posession charges usually come down to ONE thing in court...did you have it or not? A losing argument starts out "yes, but...". [/QUOTE]
