Well Frank, I thought, "that's probably news worthy enough for its own thread."So by all means, let's strip away the blather. The vast bulk of the notice of proposed rule making consists of background, explanation, and justification. But the actual proposed regulation is merely an amendment to several existing regulations (27 CFR 447.11, 27 CFR 478.11, and 27 CFR 479.11) defining "machinegun." The amendment merely adds the following to each of those definitions:
That is how the ATF is proposing to change exiting regulations.
That would be our "pro-gun" president & attorney general, if anyone; Trump could easily ban dual-tube shotties as a Destructive Device class with a penstroke, just as Clinton did with drum-fed autoloader shotguns in the 90's. Anything with a bore size over .50" only exists due to a Sporting Purposes exception. KSGs are notoriously bad for clays games, after all, and are too heavy for upland birding. Normally, I'd say I don't see Sessions going along with this...but he did just try to lay the groundwork for the next administration to ban all semi-autos.What do you want to bet that BATFE will try and ban that Keltec shotgun with twin magazine tubes? It holds 5 in each tube plus 1 in the chamber - 11 shots total. AND it is a PUMP GUN, not a semi !
