Brought to you by the people the broke the Fast & Furious scandal.

Last week, a secret deal involving the National Rifle Association lobbying arm and brokered by politicians of both national political parties was struck in Washington DC that would save the ATF from the political and legal consequences of its own regulatory errors. In the process, this deal would broaden the language of the 1968 Gun Control Act regarding "sporting purposes"

Pretty sure this is a dupe without having to widen the definition of "Sporting Dupes".

Wouldn't widening the definition of sporting purposes be a good thing?

No it wouldn't be.  There is no fucking "sporting purpose" in the second amendment.

Are we talking about widening the definition in favor of gun owners or the ATF "widening " their definition of what does not meet the sporting purposes?

You can bet your ass that it's going to be advertised as being in favor of the gun owners but in reality that it will actually be ATF restricting the definition more narrowly.

Exactly how are they widening the sporting purposes rule?  The article does not say.  How are we suppose to understand what is going on if they do not explain exactly what is be changed?

Wouldn't broadening what "sporting purposes" mean that they wanted to represent a wider range of gun owner's interests?

Isn't that actually better for anyone who doesn't hunt?  Shit.  That's a compliment.  We're a big enough market segment to warrant the NRA trying to cover us better than they have in the past?

Step in the right direction, I say.

The NRA is involved. They are the most anti of anti-gun groups in this country. They make the Brady brunch look like girl scouts. Clearly this is bad for gun owners.

Seems like the NRA is getting pistol grip shotguns in exchange for the possibility of an ammo import ban.

Why trade?

The Brady Bunch has spent decades offering us trades where they get to take something away, in exchange for letting us keep something else that they wanted to take away.  I prefer a trade where we get pistol grip shotguns and no ammo import ban, and the BATF gets to keep half of their annual budget.

If the BATF has screwed themselves, by making stuff up as they go, let the BATF deal with fixing their screw ups.

Im sure that a government with a national security agency as broad as our already knows the "leaks" that talk to mike v, and also knows that the nra is the only thing standing in the way of their regulatory schemes.

Hell no.  There shouldn't be restrictions on either one.

If it's sporting purpose related, it would probably ban AR/AK ammo.  I'd much rather have affordable import ammo than any shitty pistol grip shotgun.

Well.....unfortunately there is one in the GCA '68.......

What does "widening the definition" mean exactly......would it more clearly define what "sporting" is and allow more exemptions? maybe pistol grips and folding stocks now "sporting".....if so that might not be a bad thing.....bring the definition of "sporting purposes" more in line with 21st century firearms?

As far as PG shotguns, who knows?....a few years ago there was no such thing as a non-NFA shotgun with a PG and a bbl. of less than 18"....regardless of the OAL.....

Bottom one is a DD.  Go read the definition of a DD, then read the definition of a shotgun.  Then realize how bad the ATF screwed up with their over 26" "shotgun" type weapon letters.


 



ETA: 18" factory pistol grip shotguns are DD's as well.  ATF didn't read their own laws and now thousands of unregistered DD's are floating around and most people don't even realize possession is a felony.
