Who knows what they are doing....they are not to sure themselves.
FIFY"Because everyone knows you don't need more than one shotgun pellet at a time!"
Maura said that shotguns can't have more than 5 round capacity. That is, in fact, the law on the books.

Hollowpoint slugs FTW.FIFY
Well that makes sense--because they are machine guns.
They launch like eight or nine or fifteen (or even hundreds!) of projectiles with a single pull of the trigger, and allow psychopaths to "spray fire" politically protected groups out of ignorance and hatred.
I'm glad they're finally closing that loophole. Cuz hey--it's for the children.
The definition of large capacity feeding device doesn't exclude shotgun tubes.That only applies to post-ban semi-auto shotguns that have at least one other 'evil' feature.

The original way it was written was a semi auto shotgun with at least one of the original evil features (collapsable stock, pistol grip) was limited to no more than 5 rounds regardless of the feeding mechanism .
That has now apparently changed to "any semi auto shotgun capable of holding more than 5 shells"
Pumps are still exempt from the 5 shell capacity , but the new interpretation suddenly rules out shotguns like the FN SLP that are semi auto but did not have a pistol grip or collapsable stock and held 8 shells
Maura is not interested in sane interpretations, and saying that a pump shotgun with 8+1 tube contains a lcfd is far less tortured than her reinterpretation of the awb with regards to rifles.Yes... the wording of the law is contradictory in that regard, as non-semi auto shotguns are not 'large capacity weapons' by statutory definition. Is a fixed magazine on a non-large capacity weapon able to be a large capacity feeding device? Not by any sane interpretation of the law.

We might be on to something here... What if we push this out to the public and start a widespread movement against shotguns - then the FUDDs will HAVE TO get involved!This is partially true. #8 birdshot has about 400 pellets in it.
It says semi auto shotguns with five rounds or less are OK http://www.mass.gov/ago/public-safety/guns-that-are-not-assault-weapons.htmlCan someone actually post a link to where it is asserted by the AG that "shotguns that hold more than five rounds are banned"?
The gun shops who were scaring people were right, though. Maybe more people should have listened.THE GUNSHOPS CANT SCARE YOU INTO PANIC BUYING AR'S AND AK'S ANYMORE SO THEY ARE THINKING UP WAYS TO GET YOU TO BUY THE UTS AND THE KSG.
