When is a shotgun not a shotgun, according to U.S. gun laws?
When it's the incredible Fostech Origin 12 SBV "Firearm." New for 2017, the Origin 12 SBV will not be restricted by the expected gun control laws, because it's technically 'not a shotgun. It doesn't have to be registered because of the fact that it is not intended to be fired from the shoulder.
Gun control laws in general are absolutely a waste of time. Case in point: the absolutely brilliant Fostech Origin 12 SBV "Firearm."
At first look without a closer examination this weapon looks like a NFA registered weapon. It has a stock, only 8" of barrel and is really short. This is where the nose is thumbed against gun control laws. That "stock" is actually a completely legal arm brace that also can fold. Overall length is over 26" total. The key here is not to shoulder this weapon but either shoot it with two hands or with only a cheek weld. That way the whole package and you stay legal with current ATF laws. Interesting huh? Check out the Fostech Origin 12 SBV footage here.
So basically it becomes a felony if you dare to shoulder it.
Hickok45 reviewed the Judge on his channel:

I’ve always like that gun.
No, in the video he said he had to use hot loads and from the cheek position he had to turn up the gas.......
Take a look at Hickock45's review before you decide. The Judge by Hickock45
Like ISIS insurgents.
Or a gaggle of rioters breaking through your door...
Wait, its not a shotgun if you fire from the hip? It doesnt have to have at least an 18 inch barrel to avoid NFA? Its legal in Calif and NY even though its a semi auto with many “evil features”?
If I had a Taurus Judge or similar handgun as my only weapon it would be loaded with 45 LC not .410.
“New 12 Gauge Laughs at Gun Control Law”
Interesting gun, but take it to NY or CA and you wont be laughing unless you like prison.
Looks like A.O.W. classification to me. I would prefer a Super Shorty to this unit.
