The very act of registering your AR Pistol as an SBR could subject you to criminal prosecution. It's time to do what we can about it. Here's something you can do NOW to help stop the ATF Pistol Brace rule. Oh yeah, Welcome to the first episode of The 2 Alpha HamRadio Podcast. The Letter: My name is Bob Brodovsky and I am a retired Law Enforcement Officer and constituent from Twin Falls Idaho. I am writing to you today to express my concern over the ATF’s newly published pistol brace rule and the huge risk of entrapment this exposes tens of thousands of our fellow Idahoans to as well as millions of law abiding Americans throughout the USA. As you may be aware, the ATF recently published a rule deeming handguns equipped with a pistol stabilizing brace to be short barreled rifles. GOA (Gun Owners Of America) estimates over 40 million of these braces are currently in use by law abiding citizens. Through this new ATF rule, over 40 million people are now in possession of short barreled rifles. Possession of an unregistered short barreled rifle carries the same penalty as possession of a machine gun. Now ATF has offered a 120 day grace period and amnesty to all owners of brace equipped pistols to register them as SBR (short barreled rifles) using their form 1 application. Normally an applicant of a form 1 item, will submit the application prior to building or acquiring the NFA item. Mere possession of the unregistered NFA item subjects the applicant to a felony prosecution. ATF has stated to GOA that it will use enforcement discretion (meaning they will look the other way) while an estimated 40 million applications are processed in the next 120 days. ATF rules on applications and backgrounds state after 88 days after submission, if a background has not been completed the application is denied. Normally, the applicant is not in possession of the item and a dealer can resubmit or work it out on the back end. Example: In March of 2022, I purchased a suppressor for my varmint rifle. I paid for the suppressor, filled out the application, paid for my $200 tax stamp and as of today January 20th 2023, ATF still has not processed my application. The difference here is that the dealer is in possession of my NFA item after nearly 1 year of waiting. Based on the current volume and wait times for application processing and ATF backgrounds there is no possible way the ATF will be able to process 40 million new applications from otherwise law abiding people who are already in possession of a newly deemed NFA item within ATF’s 120 day grace period. So what happens to those people who submit evidence of their felonious possession of a SBR after the 88 day background rule, and 120 day amnesty period are over? What happens to these people when after the 88 day period passes and their application is automatically denied, yet they are already in possession of this NFA item? I learned that the president of GOA spoke to an attorney at the ATF this week and was told in this case, enforcement action will eventually happen. That means, millions of people (gun owners) can be prosecuted under federal law using the very photographic and written evidence they submitted to the ATF. Now here in Idaho, maybe a few of the lucky ones can get their applications processed and then enjoy their 2nd amendment rights, but think about this, States like California and New York do not allow any NFA items. What happens to those people? If they submit a Form 1 and somehow get approved, they are now felons in their state. This has far reaching implcations. So why am I writing you today? Congress has the ability to stop this blatant entrapment scheme. The ATF is supposed to follow the law that congress enacts. The ATF is not supposed to make laws on it’s own. I urge you to bring this to your fellow members of congress and end the pistol brace rule. It is unconstitutional, will surely be challenged in court, but more urgently is designed to entrap good citizens in an no win scenario. Thank you for your time,

Just a few years ago, this would have been crazy talk. Now, who knows. Can the government use Martial Law to legally take our guns?

The funniest look at ham radio yet. For every 10 hams out there playing with everything ham radio, there's some lonely guy sitting in his basement complaining about why this or that is ruining the hobby. This time we're diving in and looking at 5 things that are ruining ham radio.

This is an update from a video I did a few months ago. I've learned a few things about the M5 Stack and I'll teach you what I learned step by step. 2 A Content from a Cop's perspective: Rumble.com/K6UDA Show Notes: Join Me every Monday at Noon Mountain Time (1800 UTC) for the 2 Alpha Ham Radio Podcast Live.

Good is bad, up is down it seems the whole world is taking a dump on our collective heads. It also seems like nothing is really countering this out of control spin. Why is it the right isn't fighting back?

Normally, politics and hot topics are off limits in ham radio ( I guess so as not to upset the delicate sensibilites of the sad hams). With the SCOTUS ruling that the feds can remove Texas boarder fence, I see a very possible showdown between Texas & the feds which could lead to a succession movement or a hot civil war. This is actually pretty terrifying the more I put it together. I’d like to invite you to join in on the net this weekend when we talk about situational awareness as it relates to what might happen, The Illegal immigrant problem, and I break every rule of ham radio. For those of you who can access WiresX, its room 40448 (The Idaho Command). YSF reflector 56026 (Youtubers). If anyone happens to live in the boarder area of Texas, I’d love to get you live on the show to give a SITREP.

The ARRL is trying something that failed miserably about 5 years ago. The board is voting on a bylaw change known as Bylaw 46 or the code of conduct clause. I don't know everything about it so I'm bringing in a few people who do. Listen to them, and listen to how we the membership can keep the ARRL's business open and honest for the membership.

I'm creating a mini series of videos geared for preppers. I've held a lot of tactical knowledge close to the vest for many years but now I feel its time to pass the torch and train the trainers. Join me for some tactical insight to really integrate your comms into your prepping plan.

By now you've probably heard about California's SB2. It's almost amazing but the sensitive places aspect is only prong 1 of the communists plan to disarm CA residents. Time to stand up people.
