ATF "Study on importability of shotguns"

[68Charger]

Here's what all the hub-bub from the SHOT show was probably about, related to Saiga-12 & other imported shotguns:

looks like they're requesting comments by may 2011...
pictures of Saiga shotgun with pistol grip is obvious, as well as a MD-20 drum for Saiga-12

My comment- the whole "sporting purpose" requirement is unconstitutional, especially in light of Heller case by the SCOTUS...

as imported, Saigas would not be affected, except maybe the scope rail on the receiver...
interesting is the lack of a "pistol grip" as an evil feature, except when a Forward grip...

Should have bought one when I had the chance. Damn!

[pickenup]

I wonder if the price of a Saiga shotgun is going to go up......a bit?

It's so much easier to administratively violate the rights of the people than go through that pesky legislative process.

It's time to abolish the ATF. They really serve no practical purpose...other than to generally piss off the gun-owning populace.
