According to the BATF, the Mossberg 500 Cruiser pictured above, is a handgun and cannot be sold to people under 21 years of age.
When did this change take affect?
WHere does the BATFE say that?
If the Illegal Criminal Conspiracy that is called the BATF has ruled that to be a pistol, then have they also dropped the 18" minimum barrel length?
Shotguns with pistol grips and no
shoulder stocks attached were restricted to
persons 21 years of age or older if being sold by a
Federal firearms licensee. This requirement is
specified in 27 CFR § 178.99(b) and 18 U.S.C.
922(b)(1), which states that if the firearm to
be transferred is is other than a rifle or shotgun
Then the purchaser must be 21 years of age. The
definition of a shotgun under the GCA [18 U.S.C.
§ 921(a)(5)]
a weapon ieintended to be fired
from the shoulder.ld With the pistol grip in lieu of
the shoulder stock, this weapon is not designed to
be fired from the shoulder, and therefore is not a
shotgun.
AGE RESTRICTION REMINDER
Licensees are reminded that certain commercially
produced “shotguns” do not fall within the
definition of shotgun under the GCA. Firearms
such as the Mossberg Model 500 Camper,
Persuader 500 and all other makes and models,
which come equipped with a pistol grip in place
of the butt stock, are not shotguns under the GCA.
Therefore, they cannot be sold or delivered by a
licensee to any person less than 21 years of age.
Read my post earlier. I quoted federal law. Federal law says ONLY a rifle or shotgun can be transfered to a person under 21. It does not say a handgun cannot be tansfered to a person under 21, it says ONLY rifles and shotguns can be transfered to a person under 21. By default, since handguns are not rifles or shotguns they cannot be transfered to a person under 21. Since the Mossberg in question is not a shotgun or rifle, it cannot be transfered to a person under 21.I may be misquoting the "handgun" part on the Mossberg sticker, I will need to take another look at it. However, if it is not a handgun, then the under 21 age restriction should not apply.
NoIf it is not a shotgun, does that make in a AOW?
NoIf it is not a rifle or shotgun, does that mean the barrel can be cut down to any length, without any form of registration or tax stamp?
I have nothing to add other than noting for the record that Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidian were two separate and totally unrelated incidents except for the fact that the sniper who was accused of firing the shot at Ruby Ridge was also at Waco.
It is also noteworthy that the warrant at Ruby Ridge was simply for a failure to appear.
Yeah my bad. Our resident extremist was talking about Ruby Ridge. I guess thats what happens when people get tired of your anti-government rantings.
Nevermind. I thought our resident extremist wrote about Waco.
That said, Weaver had a bench warrant for his arrest. When the Marshal's went to serve the warrant, they were fired upon. That is not legal. In fact, a Marshal was killed. There is you murder.
I guess though, that the LEOs should have just apologized and left the area.

No
No
Then what is it classified as? On the 4473, we check off only one of two choices, and that choice is called in to NICS...handgun or long gun. So which is it?
