Pistol Grip Shotguns May Now Be an NFA Weapon

From a friend, these words, pages 22-23 on the ATF website.
“Because these types of firearms were never designed to be fired from one hand, this rule, as described in the NPRM, does not apply to firearms commonly referred to as pistol grip shotguns.29 86 FR at 30828–29. The 2014 classification described above and any classification that provides that a pistol grip shotgun is not an NFA firearm is no longer valid or authoritative as of [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], and the firearm should be resubmitted to FATD for evaluation.”
Do you own a Benelli M4 for home defense? If so, you may be rolled into the ATF clown show they’ve created for themselves and you with their awful pistol brace release.
Or based on the caveats, they may be referring to bullpup shotguns, or AOW. Who knows at this point?

I’m sorry, I don’t speak ‘Lawyerese’ very well. Are they saying that a shotgun with pistol grip only (even if sold as a ‘Camper’ per se) can now be considered NFA ? Those campers are sold with 18″ barrels and are longer than the mandated 26″ overall length.
I’m guessing this is directed at the Shockwave units, which some shoot with their hand to their cheek to sight with.

Haven’t seen a bullpup or street sweeper in years.
BP’s don’t kick that bad, the local sinkhole that is now a subdivision sector plot was once our outdoor shooting gallery and we sank a car speaker box with several blasts from the pup.
The Bolsheviks know they are way behind on getting the guns.
Curios and relics is a good workaround and maybe the old Ithaca deer guns will fall into that category.
Also the old Mossberg bird guns could be in that category but there would always be some dullard who would try to use magnum slugs.

I’m thinking maybe the “Shockwave,” but the part about total overall length has me somewhat befuddled on this.

All my “bear shotguns have pistol grip stocks.
They help tame 3” magnum recoil.
And I aim to keep ’em that way.
Why? Because a twenty-four year old Mom and her one year old son were killed by a polar bear, the other day….right in town. That’s why.
ATF can pound sand. Bring it.

I saw that report of the polar bear attack. Didn’t know it happened so close to where you are.
Suggestion my friend. You should really try the Beretta 1301, esp. as modified by Langdon Tactical.
Another one. Try the Beretta A400 with its recoil management system. After shooting shells all day long you’ll think you’ve been shooting .22LR.

I’d have to venture a guess that pretty much every firearm owner, including copsucking Fudds, is in violation of some ATF regulation by the sheer fact that they keep changing the rules arbitrarily.
Might as well embrace the outlaw life.

The ATF is engaged in throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, Bruen be damned.
If the government labels and treats you like a criminal, Act accordingly.

+100 to Graham, that’s Occam’s Razor at work.
Always assume the government views you out the gate as an outlaw.
