[Yo-Yo]

There are rumors swirling around that the NRA was trying to cut a deal with the ATF over a change in the definition of Sporting Purposes for a classification of shotguns that are technically NFA items - pistol grip shotguns without a butt stock. In exchange, certain specialty ammunition such as tracer rounds, would be banned from importation.

Rumor continues that Chris Cox was doing the negotiating and blind sided Wayne LaPierre, who was not amused.

“over a change in the definition of Sporting Purposes for a classification of shotguns that are technically NFA items - pistol grip shotguns without a butt stock.”

All pistol grip shotguns are NOT per se NFA items, although they NOW must be sold only to those 21 and older. The only ones retroactively (and WRONGLY! Thanks, Klinton!) reclassified as NFA items, as a taxable destructive device like hand grenades or land mines, are the “Stryker” style that have a permanently-affixed rotary drum in them. They are basically 12-shot revolver shotguns, good for self-defense.

Chris Cox is absolutely not to be trusted after his dealings with Harry Reid.

Hell, I just re-joined the NRA within the last year, I might have to un-join again if this @$$hole gets in.
