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. ~ Aaron Mathis

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

 

Here’s your chance to be heard!

Don’t miss the comment time frame, you only have
until the end of May!
