Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: ATF to accept public comments prior to outlawing shotguns 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 Poster Comment: This article may be a year old, but the message is still very fresh! The U.S. Government has been “at war” with the 2nd Amendment for many years now, and slowly, but surely, they are chipping away at our right to bear arms. The Obama Administration is accelerating the “legal confiscation” of our 2nd Amendment Rights and yet, only a few of us are outraged enough to take action. What will it take for the majority of Americans to stand up to the ATF, and the U.S. Government? Will it be when all of our guns have been “outlawed” and we are “outlaws” for owning a gun? By that time, it will be too late to stop the assault on the rest of our freedoms! The time to act is NOW! Call, write, visit your Congressman, your U.S. Senate and the White House and tell them that you will stand up for freedom and our 2nd Amendment rights! Dave: Notice how these government creeps like to use the word “sporting purposes” whenever they want to vilify some weapons… NOTHING in the 2A had to do with “sporting”, “target shooting”, or even “defense from criminals”, it was written to allow we the people to kill those that would attempt to install a tyranny. Jim Lovell: OK, has anybody noticed that the ATF is not to legislate? Has anybody noticed that they’re a private – now offshore – for-profit – corporation – incorporated in Dover Delaware – 1933, if memory serves? OK, who has a greater right to steal guns – the ATF, or the corner gas station? NEITHER! The ATF is NOT A GOVERNMENT ENTITY. IT’S A PRIVATE OFFSHORE CORPORATION! robert halbrook: the proposed ban is in violation of federal law Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654, of June 28, 1902 this bill cannot be repealed and declares all future laws that infringe upon this law to be null and void the unorganized militia is to be armed at par with the standing army of the day and shall obtain as many arms as they can afford to maintain. dave-On-delaware: BATF (and ALL others) have NO ” Substantive” (force & effect of LAW) Regulations. (NEVER Published in ‘Federal Register’, as Mandated by Congress). they have ONLY “Internal Agency-Internal” ONLY “Interpretive” (some lawyer’s Opinion) Regulations, that apply to ‘Agency EMPLOYEES’ ONLY.
