Why would he need a pistol brace lying around? My stripped lower is a pistol until I attach a buttstock to it and the ATF pistol brace/SBR ruling only applies to a pistol with a brace. An AR pistol with a buffer tube is outside their criteria.

Honestly, Andy, I'm not too sure it's necessary. I'm personally not too concerned about being charged with "constructive intent." But in the context of an over abundance of caution, a pistol brace (given the injunction against the ATF's rule) would remove the last shred of doubt. I was looking at it as that last layer of assurance, I suppose.
