I heard about this. Never looked I to it. I can't wait to cut down a shotgun now.
4 out of 4 lawmen at the OK corral approve of the 'scatter gun'. 3 out of 5 outlaws silent on the matter. Doctor approved.
Am I mistaken, or does the new law only allow store bought shotguns with the shorter barrels, i.e. no do-it-yourself'ers?
While a supporter of our 2nd Amendment, I questioned that anyone would seriously introduce legislation that would make it legal to own a sawed-off shotgun, and yet, there it was, Senate Bill 433, signed into law.
Under this new law, a sawed-off shotgun is defined as "a shotgun having one or more barrels less than 19 inches in length."
Have you ever witnessed the destructive power of one of these weapons?
The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms, and was adopted Dec. 15, 1791.
This was viewed as a natural right of self-defense, and while it has been tested throughout the ages, it still remains as a constitutional right for all citizens of the U.S.
I guess what makes the idea of legally owning a sawed-off shotgun somewhat preposterous is that we tell fast-food chains what they can and cannot serve in order to protect customers from “fatty” foods, but yet a person can now drop into their favorite gun shop, buy a sawed-off shotgun, and no one will think twice about it?
Seriously?
I guess you could use such a weapon to hunt pheasants and rabbits, provided you are first able to walk right up to them and shake their wing/paw, because that is how close you would have to be with a sawed-off shotgun to make it effective.
Over the 4th of July weekend, nearly 50 people were shot in the Chicago area. I wonder if they all passed their background checks?

What difference does it make how long the shotgun barrel is? It is a piece of metal not plutonium.

please say you have implied "purple"
It allows you to have an NFA SBS. It repeals certain state laws that violate the second amendment.I cannot understand what the new law offers over the past laws.
Great!My 18.5 in BBl Shotgun will pattern well for defense, or hunting.
Great!A shorter length may be concealable under a trenchcoat, so does mine with a pistol grip only stock.
No, before you couldn't get that "inch and a half difference" even with a $200 tax stamp in Indiana. Now you can cut off an inch and a half, 4, 6, or 12 inches.So raise the law, still need a stamp for $200 for a inch and half difference?
Great.Sorry, not even an issue for me.
Good for you.Don't need that, already own a couple of weapons to do the "fight back to my longarm" scenario. The street will run red I guess, but my wallet will stay fixed in my pocket.
No, you don't have to do any additional paperwork to own your fancy 18.5 in BBl Shotgun.More paperwork to own a shotgun?
Yeah, so tell me again why you're complaining about this bill that removed state law that violated the 2nd Amendment?Please allow me the rights of 2nd Amendment, my choice.
