GRNC Alert 4-24-11:
BATFE Shotgun Ban Comments Deadline Approaches

As reported earlier, the period for public comments concerning a shotgun importation ban proposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives will end on May 1. The time is now to make your voice heard.

A BATFE working group has recommended that any shotgun -- including semi-automatic, pump action or any other -- having any ONE of ten specific features be banned from importation. They base this on the preposterous position that such shotguns are not "generally recognized as particularly suitable" for sporting purposes.

Make your voice heard!

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED

* Comments can be submitted via email to shotgunstudy@atf.gov or by fax to (202) 648-9601.

Let them know that you do not approve of this and that you disagree with their ridiculous position on this.

Does anyone know if the NRA is engaged on this issue?

I keep getting e-mail messages from them mentioning the dead line and urging comments but I'm not sure what that may indicate as to their level of engagement.

Don't know if anyone is really minding the store this week with the big annual party on.
