What’s Sporting and Other Questions
on January 28th, 2011 at 5:42 AMYesterday afternoon, the ATF released a study regarding the importability of certain shotguns. It might behoove anyone who believes that the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA), Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) or International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) are sporting communities to chime in on this latest bit of research. They’re accepting comments through May 1, 2011.
The ATF report follows their having researched the “Importability of Certain Shotguns”. In that study, they’ve determined there is a class of -gasp- assault shotguns. OK, they’re not exactly saying “assault weapons” but they are making a decided distinction between “military style” and “sporting” shotguns. Basically, you might be able to shooting sporting clays with your black shotgun, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an inherently evil weapon, determined to turn the United States into the “dumping ground for surplus military armaments.” You can’t make this stuff up.
