VERBATIM POST
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is taking a rare step of allowing public comments prior to issuing a decision on a study that could result in outlawing certain types of shotguns currently available to citizens.
The ATF completed a study regarding the importability of certain shotguns. The basis for a possible ban is based on a loosely defined “Sporting Purpose” test. Using the vague definition almost all pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns could be banned as they are all capable of accepting a magazine, box or tube capable of holding more than 5 rounds. Other characteristics determined to be “military” by the ATF can also be used as a basis for a ban.
Ironically, many shotguns with “military” features are currently being used in shooting competitions held by the USPSA, IDPA and IPSC. The rules could also result in obscure regulations where an individual would be unsure if he is violating them or not.
Dudley Brown, Executive Director of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, said if the ATF succeeds with the banning of tactical shotguns it “will be the most dangerous interpretation of the 1968 Gun Control Act ever envisioned and will outlaw thousands of perfectly legitimate home defense shotguns.”
The ATF is currently allowing public comments on the study until the end of the month. Those wishing to express concerns about the study can send an email to shotgunstudy@atf.gov
Look, I am not one to say I told ya so, but listen to this: The ATF is wanting to outlaw Shotguns, the best home defence weapon ever made, is going to be outlawed. Another of your rights and this is a BIG ONE, Self Defence, is now outlawed IF they pass this, so read on then go give an opinion on this, they are actually asking for opinions. Make sure yours are known before the ANTI People over load it.

GO!! GO Now and tell them NO! This is the first step in Disarming Americans,, NO.
I hope you do not mind, I did borrow and post this with MY comments on FB.
Imagine....an ATF interpretation under the guidance of the soetoro-obama regime. Who makes the laws ? Congress or the scum known as ATF ?

ReplyDelete@ BT, your's and MILLIONS of others.... unless of course the "sheeple" afraid of offending their slave masters and cave to the unconstitutional "demand" to disarm. Because that would be exactly what those folks would be doing... disarming themselves, and leaving themselves and their family's open to the naked aggression of both criminal's and the "state"... (one in the same I know, I know....)
ReplyDeleteI don't get it.
ReplyDeleteIf they ban the IMPORTATION of certain shotguns... why doesn't someone just MAKE them domestically?
Also, the Miller decision specifically identified MILITARY weapons as the ones PROTECTED by the 2ndAmendment.
Collectivists never give up until they are six feet under.

ReplyDeleteThat article is just over a year old. The ATF decided not to mess with the shotguns -- for now.
ReplyDeleteI'll wager it will sneak in the back door somewhere, though.
I screwed that up. I knew about the one before, but thought this was a rehash. Now I see the date and I obviously neglected to check it as I usually do. Sorry.
