I suspect one of the reasons you don't see a lot of court cases based on ATF rulings is that the ATF knows they'll likely lose and the fear of prosecution is more important to them than any actual prosecutions. Most charges for violating NFA are add-ons to much larger crime anyway. Anyone seen anyone charged for shouldering their brace? Of course you haven't because the ATF will be laughed out of the courtroom the first time it happens.
You may find it interesting the ATF has never prosecuted anyone for an illegal SBR in the area you and I cover. They just confiscate them. Local and State LE have though.
