And, if the trigger was legal when it was purchased, how can the ATF (and the Brooklyn) judge make it illegal retroactively? Shouldn't it be "grandfathered"?
Well, in exactly 16 days any of the
millions of Americans who legally bought an AR-15 pistol brace and have it on a firearm--if it's still on the firearm and they haven't submitted BATFE paperwork to register it as an NFA SBR to get the appropriate permission/stamp--will technically be federal felons. No grandfathering of legal purchases. Happens as of May 1.
ATF says May 31st.

Oops. Missed it by
that much. (Anybody remember
Get Smart?) I started counting the 120 days as of January, but it wasn't published in the Register until January 31. So felony time is June 1.

You scared me at first. I had to look it up to make sure.

Just for everyone's consideration: the guy who wrote the letter to the newspaper signed his name and stated that the trigger was legal when he purchased it. I do not know if it was legal or not when he purchased it, because the writer did not state what type of trigger it was. I guess I'll just have to take him at his word. But, since he was willing to sign the letter, I choose to believe him.
As I stated in the OP, from now on I'm going to buy locally (brick-and-mortar stores) and pay cash.
