   Here’s an abbreviated conclusion:
   Following a review of numerous shotguns, literature, and industry advertisements, the working group determined that the following shotgun features and design characteristics are particularly suitable for the military or law enforcement, and therefore, offer little or no advantage to the sportsman. Therefore, we recognized that any shotgun with one or more of these features represent a “type” of firearm that is not “generally recognized as particularly suitable or readily adaptable to sporting purposes” and may not be imported under section 925(d)(3).

   (1) Folding, telescoping or collapsible stock.
   (2) Bayonet Lug.
   (3) Flash Suppressor.
   (4) Magazine over 5 rounds, or a Drum Magazine.
   (5) Grenade Launcher Mount.
   (6) Integrated Rail Systems.
   (7) Light Enhancing Devices.
   (8) Excessive Weight.
   (9) Excessive Bulk.
   (10) Forward Pistol Grip…

   What a crock of shit.

   Ayup. Only benefit I see is that it’s not an actual ruling, they have to jump through a few more hoops first.
