I know dub posted the, ATF's study and intentions on Importation of Shotguns aimed at banning the Siga 12, via regulations. But I fond this which seems to put a light on the real agenda (like we didnt know already) , but it seems that want to make any shot gun that has a laundry list of "features" that are not for a "sporting purpose" and there for should be illegal. You know all the ones that make it the best tool for defending your home, and has far reaching implications by precedent for Pistols and rifles as well.
As we all know the laundry list here they are for a refresher
Here are the characteristics that the study has decided are unsuitable for sporting use:
(1) Folding, telescoping, or collapsible stocks;
(2) bayonet lugs;
(3) flash suppressors;
(4) magazines over 5 rounds, or a drum magazine;
(5) grenade-launcher mounts;
(6) integrated rail systems (other than on top of the receiver or barrel);
(7) light enhancing devices;
(8) excessive weight (greater than 10 pounds for 12 gauge or smaller);
(9) excessive bulk (greater than 3 inches in width and/or greater than 4 inches in depth);
(10) forward pistol grips or other protruding parts designed or used for gripping the shotgun with the shooter’s extended hand.
Some of these features, such as folding stocks and larger capacity magazines clearly are useful in sports if you include practical shooting sports.
Make it harder to defend your home in the dark and against unknown number of intruders, seems kinda "spooky" too me.
and some links for you to enjoy
Really I dont know what to do, I have written all my reps on a federal level and even many that aren't beholden to me, several times since this 1st broke at the 1st of the year and have gotten NO positive responses just a thank you for your input form letter. I have made my comments on the ATF's comment page (not that it matters 1 lick they are taking orders from the top and no amount of comments form the serfs will sway them) Oh well from MY COLD DEAD HANDS, buy it while you can and stack it deep. Is the time to defend your home fast approaching?????
