It's funny to me, all this hand wringing over the legal interpretation of the "brace", when it's not about the brace at all. It's about barrel length.
The brace is just a way to have a shorter barrel. There's nothing magical about a "brace" improving a gun's performance other than the actual "brace" function. A short barrel actually degrades performance by reducing velocity and increasing muzzle blast. But, a short barrel is handy and functional, improving performance in other ways. So, I see so much energy focused on legal minutia when the Real issue us the ATF itself. Why are they "enforcing" arbitrary rules that say a barrel is "ok" at one length, but becomes some sort of destructive weapon when it's a quarter of an shorter?
Just sayin'...
