Will 20 rd Drums be regulated by the ATF


Recommended Posts

Clinton administration targeted a handful of weapons for reclassification.

 

Those guns came from the factory in non-sporting configuration; since a 12-gauge shotgun has a bore over .50" in diameter, without a sporting purpose it can be defined under the NFA of '34 as a destructive device. The S-12 comes into the country in a sporting configuration, with a low-capacity magazine. The importer does not bring in high-capacity magazines or other non-sporting parts. The ATF has in the past stated its intent not to reclassify the S-12, and in its imported configuration doing so would be contrary to the written law. Restored Saigas in their proper pistol-grip configuration are a gray area. It is possible that they could be reclassified in the future, although unlikely.

 

The drums themselves are very unlikely to be regulated by the ATF any more than any magazine is regulated. Without the passage of federal legislation, a 20-round drum magazine is just a magazine. It is not a weapon. It does not have serial numbers. There are some import/export regulations on weapons parts.

F-Troop has re-interpreted the law to suit its own interests before. They may yet again, especially with the HNIC (That's Head Narcissist Illegally Commanding) we've got now.

Translation: "Be quiet!"

 

We have ours, and I doubt the current administration needs more fuel for her enemies.

 

 

I think they will leave us alone for a little while. To make an aggressive move against gun would only get more states to pass laws like Wyoming's that criminalize the BATF.

 

Hmmm... Maybe we should encourage them to push their luck. :smoke:

Honestly as cool as they are, they are still a shotgun. So what they hold a few more rounds, big deal.

 

 

They are cool. But past that I don't really see any more danger from them then any other shotgun in capable hands.

The same could be said about any rifle though.
