Has anyone else heard about this? At first, I thought this was a joke.
ATF to accept public comments prior to outlawing shotguns | Greeley Gazette

"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."

Also: " 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 [email protected]".

If this is not a joke, then the comment period ends in less than two weeks!
 
Look at the date of the article. That was last year when people were trying to sell $2000 Saiga 12s because they were going to be banned. It never happened.

There's legislation preventing the ATF from doing this now. It's covered here: <broken link removed>

SEC. 541. None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to pay the salaries or expenses of personnel to deny, or fail to act on, an application for the importation of any model of shotgun if&#8211;(1) all other requirements of law with respect to the proposed importation are met; and

(2) no application for the importation of such model of shotgun, in the same configuration, had been denied by the Attorney General prior to January 1, 2011, on the basis that the shotgun was not particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes.
