House Votes to Block New Federal Rules on Pistol Braces as Biden Threatens Veto
- The House approved a resolution Tuesday related to pistol braces that would block a Biden administration rule to reclassify pistols with stabilizing braces as short-barreled rifles.
- House Republicans passed a resolution to repeal a Biden administration rule requiring registration and fees for firearms with stabilizing braces.
- The Biden administration issued the rule after several mass shootings involved firearms with stabilizing braces.
- Republicans argue the rule violates Second Amendment rights while Democrats counter that the amendment's prefatory clause is often overlooked.
- The White House has promised to veto the Republican-backed resolution disapproving the ATF's rule if it passes the Senate.
