You know the atf, the government agency who's goal is to take away your guns and gun rights? It seems they are on a mission to end or seriously restrict the importation of shotguns.
Don't these assholes have enough to worry about with project gunwalker? You would think that would be consuming most of their time these days, from both ends. Conducting it and defending it...
Anyway, these are some of the criteria for the weapons they propose banning:
Folding, telescoping, or collapsible stocks
Bayonet lugs
Flash suppressors
Magazines over 5 rounds, or a drum magazine
Grenade-launcher mounts
Integrated rail systems (other than on top of the receiver or barrel)
Light enhancing devices
Excessive weight (greater than 10 pounds for 12 gauge or smaller)
Excessive bulk (greater than 3 inches in width and/or greater than 4 inches in depth)
Forward pistol grips or other protruding parts designed or used for gripping the shotgun with the shooter’s extended hand.
This is just a stupid list. And who in the hell are they to tell me what I can purchase with my hard earned dollars? If I want a 14 pound, magazine fed 12 gauge, with a flash suppresor and a pistol grip, that is my business.
What does weight or width have to do with the importation of a shotgun anyway? Or a rail system? Or a bayonet lug?
These guys really need to get a hobby or something instead of sitting around thinking up ways to fuck with the American people...
