Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the National Firearms Act to provide an exception for stabilizing braces, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, the Pistol Brace Protection Act, amends the National Firearms Act and Title 18 of the United States Code to provide an exception for "stabilizing braces" on pistols and other firearms. The key provisions are: 1) Excluding from the definition of "shotgun" and "rifle" any pistol or other firearm equipped with a stabilizing brace that is designed, manufactured, and intended to allow single-handed operation, even if the firearm is also used with two hands or fired from the shoulder. 2) Establishing that documented use of a stabilizing brace with two hands or firing from the shoulder does not automatically mean the user does not intend to fire the firearm with a single hand. This provides legal protections for the use of stabilizing braces on certain firearms.
