Technically as of 6/1/23 there are now millions of newly-minted "felons" in the eyes of the ATF.
Compliance with the new pistol braced firearm registration rule ranges from "point-something" to single digit percentage compliance, .6 to 8% depending on the number of braced pistols which is still up in the air.
Basically the gun owning public gave the middle finger to the bureaucratic assholes at the ATF who decided to unilaterally assume powers that they don't possess.
All those shitty laws and regulations shoveled into everyone's life over decades? They've had the expected effect - bad law undermines all law. People have been ignoring more and more laws and regulations as time goes on.
